The reason why writers still use Character archetypes is because they have been working since ancient times and still work.

think about it, you have probably heard of these character descriptions in every great book/story/movie.

Shapeshifter- the character that can change turn into something (AKA the werewolf and that pirate from the pirates of a Caribbean) or just go from good to evil or evil to good.

The Hero- no explanation needed

the trickster-A character for comic relief and to cause mischief

The guardians threshold- basically henchmen and stop the hero from moving on there journey

the Herald- the person/object that gets the hero to go on a journey

the mentor- the person that teaches the hero about the world. Also trains the hero

the shadow- the main villain that the hero has to defeat. 

Also there is the monomyth that is the story structure. But you just wanted to know about character archetypes. BTW what class is this in, (and the grade level), I have always been interested in this.

ELIE WIESEL’S “THE PERILS OF INDIFFERENCE” SPEECH How do paragraphs 14-15 contribute to the development of the text’s central id
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Paragraphs 14-15 of Elie Wiesel's "The peril's of indifference speech" contributed to the central idea of the text because Wiesel talks in ironic way about the holocaust in Auschwitz by saying that the government of other countries if they knew what was happening to the Jews under Hitler's ruling, would have helped them. but the world knew the situation and did nothing to avoid many deaths that occured hence the name "perils of indifference'

Explanation:

In parapraph 14-15 Wiesel's says that in those darkest times inside the death camps, they felt abandoned and forgotten and that their consolation was that they believe that Auschwitz and Trablinka were closely guarded secrets and believed that the free world leaders did not know what was going on and that if they knew in their thought, believes the leaders would have intervened. but they later found out that the leaders knew what was happening.

Elie Wiesel and his family was taken by the Nazis to the Auschwitz extermination camp and brutalized in 1944. He gave this speech "perils of indifference' at  the white house in 1999 where he talked about their time in captivity and how apathy can be dangerous because himself and others felt abandoned there.
