Why does Wiesel end his speech with several questions?
SIZIF [17.4K]

D. To leave unanswered questions for the audience to think about


The questions leave the audience to come up with their own answers. However, the way the questions are asked he is guiding the audience to have similar answers. If we look at the other options, it is almost easier to eliminate the other options to verify that we are correct. Option A talks about a warm comfortable feeling. However, Wiesel does not want to leave the audience feeling warm and comfortable. He wants the audience to have a reaction to the horrors and injustices being done in the world. He no longer wants people to be indifferent to human suffering. Option B mentions are religious plea...there is no religion in his questions. Option C is about him directly stating his opinion. Questions are not direct statements...this is wrong. Option D is the only valid choice.

The men Montag meets at the end of the story are "living libraries." How are they preserving the knowledge that their civilizati
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

These living libraries preserve knowledge by studying memory books.

Explanation:

 Your question refers to the book Fahrenheit 541 by Ray Bradbury.

These men who are living libraries preserve the knowledge they believe is necessary for the future. It is important that they do this because if they don't, that knowledge will die forever.

They plan to pass the books on to their children, knowing that much of that information will be lost but still very useful.

Each man had a book that he wanted to remember and it was thus that over the years they were setting up an organization.

Let's look at the following quote:

<em>"And when the war's over, some day, some year, the books can be written again, the people will be called in, one by one, to recite what they know and we'll set it up in type until another Dark Age, when we might have to do the whole thing over again. "</em>

PLEASE THIS IS URGENT!!!!!!!!
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Augustine St. Clare, Tom's third owner and the father of the novel's saintly child, is an odd and interesting character, an amalgam of traits that we finally find coherent and human. He is a "Byronic" hero, a thoughtful spokesman against slavery, and a reluctant (and at last repentant) materialist.Clare of Assisi was an Italian saint and one of the first followers of Francis of Assisi. She founded the Order of Poor Ladies, a monastic religious order for women in the Franciscan tradition, and wrote their Rule of Life, the first set of monastic guidelines known to have been written by a woman. Clare was a noblewoman who took a vow of poverty and became a follower of St. Francis of Assisi. She and her following of nuns devoted themselves to a cloistered life of prayer and penance, but, when the society spread elsewhere in Europe, some communities accepted property and revenues.In 1958 Pope Pius XII declared her patron of television, citing an incident during her last illness when she miraculously heard and saw the Christmas midnight mass in the basilica of San Francesco on the far side of Assisi.
