    In my analysis I will focus on the work of Julian Kulski in the book The Color of Courage. Kulski explains life as a ten year-old Boy Scout during World War II who so desperately wanted to fight against the Germans after they invaded his country of Poland. The purpose of this book is to give readers an inside look of what it was like to live during the war. The book is composed of many diary excerpts and actual pictures at the age of sixteen to help aid his post-traumatic stress. This book was written to describe the conditions and everything Kulski experienced in Warsaw.…

    In Elie Wiesel, The Perils of Indifference he used pathos, ethos, and logos to express how he felt and to give the audience a sense of what he has been through. The way he used pathos, ethos, and logos in his speech was great and I’m going to give you my opinion on what I thought anout the way he used them. Wiesel opened up his speech by giving the audience glimpse of what he has lived. He said he was from Buchenwald, a place of eternal infamy. Wiesel gave a good mind image of where he was from by using the word “infamy” meaning bad quality or evil or wicked act.…

    On the Other Side: Letters to My Children from Germany 1940-46 was written by Mathilde Wolff-Monckeberg during WWII. Her letters are filled with her personal opinions as well as great insight on what was happening from a German point of view. In her first letter Wolff-Monckeberg says “This war would be conducted with the most horrible weapons and resources, its whole justification based on a daily incitement of lies, not an honest war, but an illegal and mean exploitation, as far as we were concerned.” The first letter clearly states Wolff-Monckeberg views of Germany’s participation in the second world war as “Fuhrer’s blind lust for conquest” Wolff-Monckeberg makes this ever apparent with letters about, Nazi invasions into other countries,…

    Holocaust Survivor, Elie Wiesel, in his speech, “The Perils of Indifference” (1999), vouches that having an apathetic attitude to a situation is dangerous a society in need of help. He supports his claim by gaining credibility from his audience and uses imagery to help, then addresses briefly about his past life and an example of when indifference occurred, and finally, shoves everything that transpired in the past and hints what we can do differently in the future. Wiesel’s purpose is to entice the audience to not be indifferent to what is happening around the world, but to see how society could all help. Throughout the speech, there are a couple of different tones such as gratuitous, passive, and grateful for his audience to make a change.…

    The effects of World War I were felt worldwide during 1914 to 1918. It did not only affect the countries that were participating in it; it also affected those who were not. Erich Maria Remarque crafts an excellent account of World War I in All Quiet on the Western Front, in which the brutality of the war when it was being fought is portrayed through Paul Baumer, a soldier’s, eyes. The high casualty and death rate of young German soldiers and the negative impact of the war on the German society contributed to the changing views of the War for soldiers in combat because it gave them a new perspective on the way they saw their future and the world. Paul and his friends had a different opinion of the war after they saw what destruction…

    In which John Green teaches you about World War II, aka The Great Patriotic War, aka The Big One. So how did this war happen? And what does it mean? We've all learned the facts about World War II many times over, thanks to repeated classroom coverage, the History channel, and your grandfather (or maybe great-grandfather) showing you that Nazi bayonet he used to keep in his sock drawer and telling you a bunch of age-inappropriate stories about his harrowing war experiences. So, why did the Axis powers think forceful expansion was a good idea?…

Paragraph 23 was a prime example of logos. He talked about how Americans have always helped out in the previous wars and how the Americans will never give up their fight for freedom. In paragraph 33, he says “Not only will we fight for democracy, we will make it more worth fighting for…we will work for the good of mankind…so that all may have plenty and security.”…
