Job # 1 – Line Illuminator – (week 3)

”All the same, prisoners loved snowstorms and prayed for them. Whenever the wind rose a little, every face was turned up to the sky. ( page 51)”

I thought this was important because it expresses the prisonors life in a way. They were hoping for a snow storm because they would get a day off from work. In their situation, it is considered a holiday when theres a snowstorm. So as it is said in this quote, they were always hoping for the snow storms to come. Snow storm was hope for them in a way.

"The only two left without assignments were Shukhov and Kilgas, the leading workers of the squad."

 (page 52) 

I thought this quote was important because it shows that Shukhov, the main characters is one of the leading workers of the squad. In the book he seems to know how things work according to different days. He always seems to know whats happening around them. It is also said that it is his 8th year in prison so he seems to be trusted by the guards, and is known for the leading workers of the squad.
