Short Story 'The Perils Of Indifference'

Writer, Elie Wiesel in his metaphorical speech “The perils of Indifference” argues that the future will never know the agony of the Holocaust and they will never understand the tragedy of the horrific terror in Germany. Wiesel wants people to not let this happen but at the time many modern genocides that are occurring and people shouldn’t be focused on just the Holocaust, they should focus on making this world a better place; moreover, Wiesel expresses his thoughts about all the genocides that has happen throughout the years. He develops his message through in an horrifying event that took place 54 years ago the day “ The perils of Indifference” was published. Wiesel illustrates the indifferences of good vs evil. He develops this message

He is saying that the future effect of the war on the nation is that there will be big part in the American History as this war was one of the biggest wars in the United States. He says that it will bring people the people together and create peace in the country. Also the people that fought in the war will be remembered forever in our History.

Roosevelt’s speech, inspirational language is used throughout to give Americans hope that they will be able to continue life after such a terrible and ruthless attack. He uses his powerful words to inspire the nation that we can and will come back from this horrific attack and that we will have our revenge, as said in the text,”I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph -- so help us God.”(Roosevelt online). This quote is inspiring because he his saying that there is evil in the world, but that he will stand up against it and destroy

Firstly, what is the human condition? I’ve been searching for an answer about what the human condition really means. In different situations, especially in the six stories I was asked to read, I put myself in the very different situations of each story and what I’ve found is that the human condition is the characteristics or key events and situations that compose the essentials of human existence or the positive and negative aspects of being a human being. It is part of being a person. For example the need to be loved is simply part of the human condition. Such as birth, growth, emotions, aspirations, conflicts, and mortality. It is the experiences, emotions and the needs that all people share,

Two-hundred and nine thousand. That is the number of lives that were nobly given to save the many during the invasion of Normandy (D-day and the Battle of Normandy). The courageous men and women fought continuously for days on end, climbing the jagged cliffs of Normandy, France. Under rifle fire from gun nests from above, the allied troops were able to take control of the coastline, but not without great sacrifice. The speech given by Ronald Reagan was made to commemorate those who fearlessly fought for our country and the many thousands that gave their lives during those hard days of war. His speech had a clear message, to honor and remember those who gave and risked their lives during the invasion of Normandy.

Due to the misfortune of this event, Barack Obama's speech was a eulogy. He used this style to honor the victims who had lost their lives in this shooting, as well as touch on previous tragedies such as those in Tucson, Aurora, and Oak Creek. After quoting scripture, Obama opened his speech by saying, "We gather here in memory of twenty beautiful children and six remarkable adults." He honored the victims by giving his love and prayers, and by naming each of the victims who have lost their lives in the shooting. Although Obama's purpose of this speech was to ask the nation to make a change, it was also to honor those who got killed in this catastrophic event. Because he named each specific

President Whitmore also appeals to their emotions and values by stating that this is the second time they will be fighting on 4th of July for the right to live. The president states, “Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.” He points out the fact that part of the U.S. Fighter Pilots served in WWII and again they would fight for their freedom, but not as one nation against the next, but as one, as many nations unite. He also uses pathos by how his emotions are followed in his

He emphasizes that they are met at “a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live” to show his compassion to those who lost their loved ones as well as to induce empathy among those who did not. He then refers to the men who lost their lives fighting for the belief that all men are created equal and that their sacrifices should not be in vain. President Lincoln then states: “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” That sentence expresses compassion to the families of those who died and gives them comfort as the actions of the world will never forget what the brave men did. On the other hand, that statement also conveys the message that actions speak louder than words as the world will not remember what is said, but what is done. The purpose of that message is to inspire the audience to take action in ending the

I believe he is again focusing on preserving the country and uniting all Americans, North and South, behind the nation and reminding them of our common history. President Lincoln also refers to the dedication of the Battlefield of Gettysburg, emphasizing that this is,” a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.” Clearly, Lincoln wants to remind all citizens that these thousands of casualties were for a great purpose of preserving this country, not dividing it through a Civil War.

For this week’s assignment, I decided to analyze “The Perils of Indifference” by Elie Wiesel, and “The Children’s Era” by Margaret Sanger.

He once again uses pathos to emotionally invest the audience into his speech. Wiesel explains what the Americans did for him and how they changed his life. This is what appeals to the emotions of the audience. ‘Gratitude” he says is a meaningful word to him, which means that he does not throw that word around in any given situation. The word “gratitude” has a very special meaning to Wiesel and he uses it to describe the Americans who saved

The purpose of this speech was, overall, to address the tragic acts of terrorism. President Bush accomplishes this in an informative and effective manner through his elegiac tone throughout the speech. This mournful way of writing gives a respectful and empathetic feeling to the address. This is incredibly important, as many people were feeling grief, loss, fear, and heartache at the time. Another purpose for the speech is to call the American people to action. President Bush, through his use of imperative statements, successfully rallies his audience to action. After describing some upcoming changes to the government, he said “These measures are essential. But the only way to defeat terrorism as a threat to our way of life is to stop it, eliminate it, and destroy it where it grows” (“George Bush Speech”). This imperative statement gets the audience feeling determined to do their part to destroy terrorism. Soon after, he said, “I have a message for our military: Be ready. I’ve called the Armed Forces to alert, and there is a reason. The hour is coming when America will act, and you will make us proud” (“George Bush Speech”). This specifically calls the military to action, which is a critical aspect of the speech. President Bush also uses this speech as an opportunity to thank people who made a difference in the tragic event, saying “I thank the Congress for its leadership at such an important time”, “I thank the world for its outpouring of support”, and, “…I thank you for your

He then based the song around this rememberable sight. So without this war we would never have gotten our national anthem the way it is. We probably would've gotten one a while later but not this early in our country's life and definitely not as good as the one we have

Therefore it can be said that he also tried to persuade us into thinking that the U.S has become more strong and united. He later shows that these attacks united Americans as a whole. He would want the audience to react by growing together as a nation. He wants them to be united due to time being difficult. Lastly, he wants his audience to respond by helping out the victims in any way that is possible.

President Bush addressed the nation to try and assure Americans of their countries strength and also be an inspiration to the country. In this speech President Bush explains the he is one of us and we are all one nation. He goes on to talk about how these acts of murder were
