A filmmaker and a survivor, who lost his whole family at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. There is just something chilling and powerful reading this history from someone who had a firsthand view.

He retorts with this phenomenal piece of writing that is littered with literary devices. The first of these devices I will point out to you is Ethos, showing he was of good ethical background. There were four times he did this, the first was the way he opened his
To back this up he uses repetition, anecdotes, as well as sadness. This topic is highly important due to the fact
He writes: - “For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory.

In “In Keep Memory Alive” he says”That I have tried to keep the memory alive,I have tried to fight those who would forget, Because if we forget we are guilty, we are accomplices”. He uses repetition in his speech so well. He delivered his speech in silence, he does
At the end, he encourages the audience to do what people in his stories have done. His unique way was effective in grabbing the audience and persuading them into a whole new
In the chapter, How to Tell a True War Story, he emphasizes this a lot. “In many cases a true war story cannot be believed. If you believe it, be skeptical. It’s a question of credibility. Often the crazy stuff is true and the normal stuff isn't, because the normal stuff is necessary to make you believe the truly incredible craziness.”
Another thing I enjoyed about his essay was how he totally related our minds with nature. For example, Lopez says that our imagination is carved by the things we have experienced in

The novel ‘The Outsiders’ by S.E. Hinton is an enthralling story about the hardships and triumphs experienced by two socially different rival gangs, the Greasers and the Socs. The novels title advocates the stories content, the Greasers, a gang of social outcasts and misfits. Outsiders.

“Between 1934 and 1943, about 3 million people visited a Canadian tourist attraction called Quintland, in the middle of nowhere. They made great journeys to get there, on poor roads, through a landscape of forest, swamp and wilderness, to a point near the village of Corbeil, in Northern Ontario. On arrival: a dusty, frenzied knot of cars and commerce - bumper stickers, "fertility stones", and refreshments. And, to one side, a low modern building with a garden and a high fence - and a public spectacle that today seems uprooted from another century, from fiction. Along the edge of the garden was a raised corridor whose windows were covered by a fine gauze - like a bird hide.
“He told me all this very much later, but I’ve put it down here with the idea of exploding those first wild rumors about his antecedents, which weren’t even faintly true. Moreover he told it to me at a time of confusion, when I had reached the point of believing everything and nothing about him. So I take advantage of this short halt, while
The quote adds an element of humor to his speech, which also made the audience laugh. The speech was divide into tree main parts about his personal life experiences in which he found motivation. The first
