Itzhak Stern, Elie Wiesel. At first glance, Two very, very different people.

Itzhak is entirely on the other side of the spectrum.
People may seem normal to some, but to others extremely weird. All of this all depends on the person’s perspective. In the novel Night, by Wiesel, Elie has a different perspective and sees Moishe the Beadle in a different way from that of everyone else in the city of Sighet. Most people in the city of Sighet thought as Moishe as a man who was just a vagrant. An example of this is when Elie say mentions that he lived in “utter penury”(Wiesel, 3).
In this part of the book, it really shows how people were stripped of their identities. Their personal belongings, clothing, and even their hair. They cut off people 's hair so everyone was identical; men and women, they all looked the same. The German’s even numbered each person’s arm like an animal in a barn. Everything that makes a person who they are is taken away from them.

The main reason why this speech is so effective, is because of the fact that Elie Wiesel is a Holocaust survivor. Being that Wiesel is a Holocaust survivor, the audience automatically sees him as someone who knows what they’re talking about because he has experienced these events which inclines the audience to pay more attention to what he is saying. Because of what Wiesel went through, he is able criticize the American government for the pain that suffering that it contributed to because it was “Indifferent”. While this would still be a very effective and impactful speech if another person was to preform it, it would still not be close to effective as when Wiesel performed it. I feel that if a person who did not experience the horrors of
6 million human beings. Out of those 6 million people Elizer Wiesel survived the attempted extermination of his people. Elizer suffered through severe hunger, countless beatings, and being taken away from his family.

It was the end of 1942 I warned them, but they didn't listen. Foolish of them for not listening, but shame on me for not trying harder. The urge in some people to blow me off as crazy is preposterous. I came back to the town of Sighet to warn the people that death is approaching. I myself was nearly killed a few weeks back as they shipped me out of my own town for being a foreigner.
Shared resources must be demonstrably inoffensive. Like most people, oppressors simply are afraid of what the world would be after a change. Pre-civil war US Southern Whites were afraid of how life would be without slaves. Would they want revenge? Would they eat everything?
