Think of a time in your life when you witnessed an injustice (someone got hurt,
their property was damaged/stolen, someone was falsely accused of a misdeed,
etc.). Did you passively watch or did you actively intervene? Now that you have
listened to Wiesel's speech, how would you react differently? What did Wiesel
specifically say that could have inspired a different course of action?

Answer 1

In my life, I witnessed an injustice and passively watched. After listening to Wiesel's speech, I would react differently by actively intervening and speaking up.

Step-by-step explanation:

In my life, I witnessed an injustice when I saw someone being falsely accused of stealing. At the time, I passively watched and did not intervene. However, after listening to Wiesel's speech, I would react differently.

Wiesel specifically said that silence is equivalent to taking the side of the oppressor. This statement would inspire me to actively intervene and speak up against any injustice I witness.

By taking a stand and speaking out, I could potentially prevent someone from being wrongly accused or ensure justice is served.
