Why does wiesel mention kosovo in his speech

lianna [129]

Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate, Elie Wiesel, gave this impassioned speech in the East Room of the White House on April 12, 1999, as part of the Millennium Lecture series, hosted by President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. In the summer of 1944, as a teenager in Hungary, Elie Wiesel, along with his father, mother and sisters, were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz extermination camp in occupied Poland. Upon arrival there, Wiesel and his father were selected by SS Dr. Josef Mengele for slave labor and wound up at the nearby Buna rubber factory. Daily life included starvation rations of soup and bread, brutal discipline, and a constant struggle against overwhelming despair. At one point, young Wiesel received 25 lashes of the whip for a minor infraction. In January 1945, as the Russian Army drew near, Wiesel and his father were hurriedly evacuated from Auschwitz by a forced march to Gleiwitz and then via an open train car to Buchenwald in Germany, where his father, mother, and a younger sister eventually died. Wiesel was liberated by American troops in April 1945. After the war, he moved to Paris and became a journalist then later settled in New York. Since 1976, he has been Andrew Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University. He has received numerous awards and honors including the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was also the Founding Chair of the United States Holocaust Memorial. Wiesel has written over 40 books including Night, a harrowing chronicle of his Holocaust experience, first published in 1960. At the White House lecture, Wiesel was introduced by Hillary Clinton who stated, "It was more than a year ago that I asked Elie if he would be willing to participate in these Millennium Lectures...I never could have imagined that when the time finally came for him to stand in this spot and to reflect on the past century and the future to come, that we would be seeing children in Kosovo crowded into trains, separated from families, separated from their homes, robbed of their childhoods, their memories, their humanity.

Explain how primary research differs from secondary research.

Julli [10]

Primary Research: Primary research usually means a primary source. For example, Primary Research can be interviewing someone, conducting research. Other examples can be observations, case studies, surveys, experiments etc. The individual directly collects information from the experiment.

Secondary Research relies on secondary sources for example using a book to prepare for a report. Secondary data can be books, articles published, statistical data, reports, and case studies.

So basically, primary research is direct contact to collect the data and secondary is using other sources rather than directly getting the information from the source. Hope this helps.

Introductory paragraph for Culminating Writing Task Essay

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The purpose of writing is to communicate, whether it be a political opinion or a list for the grocery

store, and that purpose is all for naught if writers don’t write clearly. Some writers see it as a chance to show

off or to hide their true meaning, but these are at the least deceptive tricks and at worst abhorrent. George

Orwell in his essay “Politics and the English Language” sets out to describe the problems with the modern

language and offers concise solutions to that problem. He fulfills his purpose by convincing readers that not

only is there a problem, but there is also a solution. He presents that solution by asking writers to consider

four questions in every sentence they write: “1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3.

What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect. In presenting the

list, it is incumbent upon the reader to consider these questions in Orwell’s own writing” (5). When they apply

this list to Orwell’s essay, the reader will find that Orwell does fulfill his questions. His use of parallelism makes

points clear, and, for the most part, his images are fresh. The word choice that he use aptly describes the

problem he lays out and affects the reader aptly. Finally, the structure that he chooses, a problem-solution is a

clear choice to lay out his argument.

First, consider his choice of words. Orwell uses a number of strong, opinionated words to outline the

problems he sees with the language. He describes the problem of “vague” writing as “slovenliness” and

“decay” that has caused a “debasement” of language and could lead to the “general collapse” of society (1-8).

This strong choice of words convey Orwell’s argument clearly; the English language has a serious problem.

Orwell’s further purpose is to present his argument that this “collapse” of language is leading to political

consequences that leave a public accepting rhetoric that leads to the murder of innocents (7). His description

of language is highly opinionated, which supports his purpose, because it calls attention to his claim that

language must be clarified. The use of these words, some would say, may break use rule for fresh images;

however, they follow the following six rules in that the descriptions are straight-forward and clear enough to

establish his purpose.

hope that helps you
