She is giving the reader these facts that force the reader to agree with her because there is no different opinion or way of thinking when there are facts provided. Ellie Wiesel says, “Political fanaticism...That century has caused more deaths than ever before.” (Wiesel 2).  Wiesel uses ethos by providing credible sources and facts. This proves the authors credibility and authority. ]]> 2020-11-13 17:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lkenney2024/zqoditq7gl8c29h6/wish/921107731 lkenney2024 https://padlet.com/lkenney2024/zqoditq7gl8c29h6/wish/921243853 Who did you choose to fight for? Who did you choose to stand up for when it wasn’t easy? Who did you choose to advocate for when it wasn’t convenient? 

Moore states that what you will study will fade and what you fight for will not. Moore uses repetition and stories to convey emotion and strengthen the message of the commencement speech; Moore uses an example from his two buddies John and Dale who were best friends, and went into war in Iraq together, and they were in a humvee when there vehicle gets hits by a I.E.D. Dale gets injured in the accident and loses his legs and John is the only one who was in the vehicle injury free, and John got PTSD and became suicidal and Dale was the only one who noticed. Dale goes to John and asks him to help him build homes for service-disabled veterans; and now they build homes for a organization they created called Purple Heart Homes. Moore uses this story to tell the audience to fight for others and to help the people around you like what John and Dale did after getting in an IED accident. Moore throughout the speech uses similar stories to reinforce the idea of fighting for others, and standing up when it isn’t easy. ]]> 2020-11-13 18:14:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lkenney2024/zqoditq7gl8c29h6/wish/921243853 bmirisch2024 https://padlet.com/lkenney2024/zqoditq7gl8c29h6/wish/921277786 Ellie Wiesel and Wes Moore are both trying to get an idea off to their readers. Wes Moore uses emotion to reach the reader and snatch their attention. Ellie Wiesel provides more facts and ideas that are unarguable and shows all the good in her idea. Wes Moore Also adds religion to dig into the readers emotions which will hopefully reach them and get the point across. These are two totally different ways but are just as effective depending on the material being discussed. Moore was in a setting of war, emotion, and tragedies so using emotion to convey the reader fits perfect. ]]> 2020-11-13 18:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lkenney2024/zqoditq7gl8c29h6/wish/921277786 lkenney2024 https://padlet.com/lkenney2024/zqoditq7gl8c29h6/wish/921302867 Both Wes Moore and Elie Wiesel advocate for the idea of fighting for others and fighting for what is right when it’s not easy. “In some groups they are suspicious of the other. Don’t. I see the otherness of the other.” Wiesel who is a Holocaust survivor tells others that they shouldn’t be suspicious of the other and he’s choosing to fight for the other when it’s not convenient which is Wes Moore’s message throughout his commencement speech. Wes Moore and Wiesel are both advocating for others to stand up for something when it’s not right and to fight for others when it’s not easy. Although they give different examples both Wiesel and Moore are spreading the same message and cause.]]> 2020-11-13 18:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lkenney2024/zqoditq7gl8c29h6/wish/921302867
