“I will never forget these things, even if I were condemned to live as long as God himself. Never." (Wiesel 2006, p. 34) Elie Wiesel is a humanitarian but better known as a Holocaust survivor and author of the book Night. Elie recounts the horrors of his experience throughout the book and revisits times he has not touched in years. His book initially sold only a few copies but later, thanks to this renewed interest, Elie Wiesel's book skyrocketed to fame and he began his journey in his humanitarian activities which in turn earned him a Nobel Prize for peace and resulted in his famous speech, Hope, Despair and Memory In Elie Wiesel's speech, Hope Despair and Memory Elie Wiesel reminds us through his use of pathos and ethos as a spokesperson for the desperation that humanity can create, but through our remembrance and the memories gained from such desperation we can evoke the future with hope for change Elie Wiesel's speech, Hope Despair and Memory, given in 1986, focused primarily on the great importance of remembering past memories that people tend to wanting to forget. The speech was very successful in persuading the audience to believe in the importance that memory offers us through the great use of pathos throughout the speech, especially the pathos that always comes from any kind of memory of the Holocaust. Elie uses phrases like: “a young man struggles to readjust to life. His mother, his father, his little sister are gone. He's alone. On the brink of desperation.” (Abrams, 1997) Helps to give rise to a strong sense of sympathy for the injustices that have plagued this historical period. This use of pathos makes effective use of it as it underlines the audience's attention towards Elie Wiesel and brings them closer to his emotions and...... at the center of the card ......essences that we, humanity, we can prevent such destruction from happening by helping us shape and mold a better future or tomorrow. Elie's speech served not only as an address to the audience, but also as a respect for those killed, those who have suffered great injustices around the world, and as a remembrance of those good people of the past and their memories. Elie's speech used rhetorical devices throughout its entirety as I spoke about pathos and ethics to make his point. When humanity chooses to remember past experiences and improve them for the future, we can progress. Elie's speech was inspiring and touched many. It is when Elie's speech finally moves from a simple speech to a way of life by which people will live and prosper in the future every day, he will finally feel that his many deeds and work as a humanitarian will finally be accomplished?.
