Question

Why was talking about himself in the third person an effective rhetorical strategy for Wiesel

Answer 1

The correct answer is answer A ("The focus of the speech stays on Wiesel's terrifying experiences as a child").

By using the third person, Wiesel is able to separate himself from his present self, and take us back to the perspective he had at the time being a young boy. By using the third person, the focus moves away from himself and what sticks with us is the harshness of these experiences that countless nameless boys had to go through.

Hope this helps!
