Elie Wiesel is a surviver of the horrible holocaust that took place wiping out millions of Jews. He's said himself in some interviews that he believes staying silent isnt the right thing to do. just watch a few vids about him and you should be about to easily answer this question.

Answer:
Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was an American political activist, theorist, and a philosopher. Paine is the author of the famous pamphlets, including "The Age of Reason", "Rights of Man" (defending the French Revolution), and "Common Sense" (written during the American Revolution). Paine is believed to have inspired the patriots, his intended audience, to become independent from Great Britain in 1776. His writing style is often characterized by arrogance, as in pamphlet series <em>An American Crisis.</em>
Anne Bradstreet (1612 - 1672) was a poet and the first woman in America to write a book of poems. When she began writing, her poems were meant to educate her children about the hardships she went through. Her husband and children were her only audience, but she gradually became popular in her society. She wrote warm, love poems for her husband and children, but also religious poems. In some of her works, we can clearly notice her sarcastic tone towards the society and its norms.
