The approachment Wieseltookwhenshepresentedthisspeechwaswellpreparedandperfectly

suited for the rewarded given. She aimedtoemphasizethefactthatthosewhosufferedfacedthe
worst and deserved the best. Her acceptance speech seemed to soundas ifshewasdecliningthe
prize offering but it was simply out of respect. She would rather enlighten bystanders of the
Holocaust on the recognition and respect due to those who suffered than speak on the behalf of
her own accomplishments. Although mostly due to respect she alsowantedtoshowcasethefact

Wieselsmessagewasvery clearinreasoningandwasalsodelivered inaveryefficientmanner.

The delivery of his message was well assisted through his use of emotion and credibility. The
topic being covered was a very heart moving occurrence so it would make best sense to appeal

toward the audience with vast quantities of emotion. He utilized emotion well when he stated
that , I remember his bewilderment , I rememberhisanguish..Duetotheuseofhiswordsof
anguish and bewilderment the audience was able to have an understanding of the
psychological scars left by the Holocaust. Awarding credibility to thosewhosufferedmayseem
harsh but wascorrectlyusedbyWieselinasenseofovation.Thissenseofacclamationwasseen
when he said , This honorbelongstoallthesurvivorsandtheirchildren.Thesacrificesmade
by the survivors is not to go without notice because theyre the ones that Wiesels

Events of severe tragedy can potentially leadtothedestructionofonesemotion andfeelingof

place. After a tragedy such as the Holocaust some sort of unity is required to bypass the
aftershock of the holocaust. Wiesel adequately mixed in the use of repetition to acquire the
audience with a feeling of unity. He did this by constantly usingthetermwe,whichmadethe
audience feel as if they were all viewing the situation throughthesameperspective.Wieselalso
used a vast amount of rhetorical questioning to further extend the audiences knowledge of his
sorrow and respectfor thedead.Tofurtherenlightenheasks,DoIhavethe righttoacceptthis

 Wiesel approached the speech with great intent and the utilization of severalskillsets.Clearly
stated and easily understood was the fact that thosewhosufferedwerewhodeserve recognition.
Although easily comprehended , rhetorical strategies made the already bold message evenmore
potent and attention seeking to the recipients of the speech. Mass amounts of the Holocaust
victims were unable to extend their lives past the timeline of the Holocaust , but Wiesel made
