William Faulkner, in his speech delivered in 1950 when awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, made reference to the privilege for young writers by saying "It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past".
The title of the speech was "The Writer's Duty" and the purpose of Faulkner was to inspire new writers to see the importance of literature. In order to achieve his purpose he arranged his speech by using many stylistic elements and appealing the audience in many ways.
