Thomas Paine's images of the American Revolution that it true today because he said that the nation is composed of different nations. These nationalities are inclined to different kinds and practice of government, but are still one in creating a government on the principles of society and with the rights of men.
In "All Rivers Run to the Sea" by Elie Wiesel, it shows the power of Holocaust literature by using the author's real experiences as a testimony to the Jewish culture. His memories paint that the Jewish had loving families and went through great despair because of the hatred towards them. They emphasize the resilience his people had to rise above their painful experiences.
I hope this helps........
