Question

This is what I say to the young Jewish boy wondering what

I have done with his years. It is in his name that I speak to
you and that I express to you my deepest gratitude. No one
is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from
the kingdom of night. We know that every moment is a
moment of grace, every hour an offering: not to share them
would mean to betray them. Our lives no longer belong to
us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately.

Answer 1

conclusion of his speech because Option C: To appeal to the audience's emotions and leave the audience with a memorable image

Step-by-step explanation:

'Elie Wiesel' used several rhetorical devices in his speech to persuade people and tell them how Jews suffered at the hands of Nazis. In the beginning, he dedicated the award to all the Jewish people and their children who survived the Holocaust.

He tried to awaken their emotions and spoke about himself like a young boy who witnessed the Holocaust. People could connect with him and understand his feelings.

He described how Holocaust changed the present and future of people then. Thus, he successfully appealed to the audience and leaved them with a memorable image.
