In Wiesel's article, he often questions why people do the things they do even though they know it is wrong. For instance, he asks " Is it necessary at times to practice it simply to keep one’s sanity, live normally, enjoy a fine meal and a glass of wine, as the world around us experiences harrowing upheavals?" He had talked about how people know what is going on but they pretend that there is nothing bad or harsh going on that they need to fix so they carry on with their life as people around the world suffer.

In Weisel's speech, he starts with a "story" of a child, and ends with pleas for children. This shows a development of a specific child's story to a more general issue of children as war victims and our responsibility to those children. This acts almost as an argument within his argument...an emphasis.
