In this address, Wiesel uses pathos to achieve his purpose of moving his audience.
Which of the follow quotes from the text use pathos?
Wrapped in their torn blankets, they would sit or lie on the
ground, staring vacantly into space, unaware of who or where they were
strangers to their surroundings. They no longer felt pain, hunger, thirst. They
feared nothing. They felt nothing. They were dead and did not know it.
(Paragraph 7)
It is so much easier to look away from victims. It is so much easier to avoid such
rude interruptions to our work, our
dreams, our hopes. It is, after all, awkward, troublesome, to be involved in
another person's pain and despair. Yet, for the person who is indifferent, his or
her neighbor are of no consequence. And, therefore, their lives are meaningless.
Their hidden or even visible anguish is of no interest. Indifference reduces the
Other to an abstraction. (Paragraph 6)
"What is indifference? Etymologically, the word means "no difference."
(Paragraph 5)
Fifty-four years ago to the day, a young Jewish boy from a small town in the
Carpathian Mountains woke up, not far from Goethe's
beloved Weimar, in a place of eternal infamy called Buchenwald. (Paragraph 2)
