The Perils of Indifference: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

Understanding the German holocaust and the effects of war, then a clear picture of the life and history of the author can one understand. His freedom and life in America also shape the way Elli perceives the world. His speech takes the listener or reader deep to Europe and gives a detailed account of dangerous events that occurred. Even though the hardship lasts, eventually a helper, the USA, and the Jews are rescued from the hands of a human turn monster Adolf Hitler. At a mature and in his old age, he still struggles to understand the action of some leaders, why murderous should be given citizenship while the innocent are sent back on ships from where they ran from.

There are instances of apathy and empathy, matters and concerns for the new generation, and fears of history repeating itself. His observation on how he believes others may or may not care about the specific events and circumstances that affect others. Indifference comes out as a strong pillar of separation and inhumanity in the world today. I will be discussing the topic of the Indifference along with the initial introduction of Elie Wiesel and how in his life influenced the people, and evaluative criteria information and state all necessary key and why this reading’s vital to assess required before following the thesis statement.

Pathos 

Capturing the audience’s attention is a key fact in literature and especially in speech. The speaker needs to make sure that his audience left satisfied both mentally and physically. The speech should cover all aspects that waken the mind from slumber to reasonable and logical thinking. The author captures the attention of the audience by praising the might of the USA army and its leaders. The picture of a kid in a consecration camp deep in a war-torn area being saved by your army does bring joy and patriotism within the psyche of the mind. Success, ethics, and power beget a strong society” Set free a day earlier by American soldiers; he remembers their rage at what they saw. And even if he lives to be a very old man, he will always be grateful to them for that rage”.

The key element that makes a social element in what makes a society and a nation live in peace can be attested here. The audience's emotions are kindled toward knowing that they are safe. Their leaders are strong and they can offer solitude in times of war and crisis globally. The division between ideals that once made a country strong brings division and indifference in society.

Logos

Logos' roots are in the Greek word meaning logic. It is a technique for convincing or persuading the target by logic and reason. Ellie, a great speaker, and thinker employ the mid of the youth to wake out of the slumber that is tearing the nation down from slumber. The youths today have lost a perspective of patriotism and indifference Ellie's speech gives a history lesson to all American youths on the history of their leaders and army, by patriotism can a country maintain its ideologies and power as a leader of nations among nations.” There was a highly respected president then, who was a great leader. And I say it with some sadness and pain, because, today is exactly 54 years marking his death. Franklin Delano Roosevelt died on April 12th, 1945. So he is very much present to me and to us. No doubt, he was a great leader”.

Ethos

The importance of life is integral to the survival of human ns as a species. Right to life to live it free of interference for all humans no matter the location or geographical area. The idea that America's ideologies are based on human rights can be seen in Elli's speech. The USA army saves him and many more from the clutches of the soviet society “He got American people and the world to fight. He brought hundreds and thousands of brave soldiers in America to fight cruel governments, to fight dangerous ideas, to fight Hitler. And so many of the young people fell in battle. And, nevertheless, I must say that his image in Jewish history is flawed.”

The morels of the leaders are sometimes opposite to the human right Ta Elli Perceives, thus questioning the character of the leaders. The destruction of Japan brings to form the idea that the country leaders are solid. The enemies of its citizens are dealt with force. Global Peace seems to second to none.

Conclusion

Indifference should be combated by inculcating chivalry for our youth to emulate their forefathers who liberated nations from dictators. Leaders should also emulate strong actions to protect their citizens from enemies of the state. Gratitude and honor toward our military for helping save the lives of many Jews during the holocaust.
