1)In the first quote the author gives a description of how he had to live and in this description we can see that the authorities wanted to hide them away and for them not to be seen. The tone is one of as if were a normal thing for one to do, be confined to room in a house with the windows blacked out. The atmosphere set is one of a dark manor which is because it was the time when his father was to leave for the labour camp. He says that the cigarette smoke was stinging his eyes and the talking was dying out which add to the atmosphere and the smoke possibly representing the uncertainty there was ahead due to the leaving of his father.
2)The second quote we again see the laws that the authorities had put in place to hide the Jews as they had a curfew of 8pm. In the start of the quote the character talks of a lousy felling that he had and because of this he didn't leave his mother, this the struggle between his mother and father to keep him as the were divorced and a dilemma for him as to whom to be with. we see his mother taking care of him and making sure that he got home before the curfew showing she cared for him.
