Crouching in her corner, her blank gaze fixed on some faraway place, she no longer saw us.” (p. 26) Literary Graffiti by _Mrs. Rotker_________________ Blk.______ Explanation of Graffiti- What is it? The graffiti represents Mrs. Schachter’s eyes in the dark cattle car. Significance of Graffiti to Text-Why? The eyes represent Mrs. Schachter’s unseeing, blank gaze. Although, it appeared that she could not see, she had a better picture than anyone of what was coming up. As she stared into the night, she no longer saw Elie or anyone else. She was just left inside her own terror-filled mind .This was a dark, scary place to be.
