The technique that the author Irving incorporates in this story is that of

  • Quickening the pace.

Quickening the pace is a technique that authors use to build suspense in a text.

In this technique, events take place in a very hasty manner that makes the reader wonder what next will happen, or what will be the final outcome.

We see this applied at the outset of this story, the fast manner in which the character wore his clothes, moved down the stairs, and tumbled over some pieces of furniture.

All of these actions infuse suspense in the reader who wonders what will happen next.

Dafna1 [17]

Hello. The full question is:

When he's speaking of his time in the camps hoping for rescue, Wiesel writes, "If they knew, we thought, surely those leaders would have moved heaven and earth to intervene." What kind of figurative language is this (metaphor, personification, hyperbole)? How does it support Wiesel's main ideas about indifference?

Answer:

metaphor

Explanation:

Wiesel uses metaphor to compare the indifference of political leaders to the lack of information about what was happening in the Nazi concentration camps. And it shows that the people who had the power to intervene in the atrocities that were happening to the Jews, did not, in fact, know how this situation was happening and that was why they were indifferent and did not present any concern or intervention.

The metaphor is a figure of speech that promotes an implicit or explained relationship between two elements that have some kind of relationship.
