Classmate Speech Analysis

"The Perils of Indifference"

The speech project that is being analyzed is the speech "The Perils of Indifference" by Ellie Wiesel and the project made by Rita Blikian and Karnie Babikian. The main aspect of the speech given is to demonstrate the the magnitude of the impact the Holocaust had in the world and how indifferently the United States reacted to this situation. The author Wiesel knew that the Germans were most at fault for committing the horrific genocide, but is aggravated because of the fact that the United States knew about the situation during the twelve years of the Holocaust and could have easily ended the inhumane tortures that were occurring to all the Jews in the concentration camps including himself.
During Rita's and Karnie's presentation, they did an exceptional job in taking into consideration all the aspects of the speech of those being induction, deduction, classical oration, and the toulmin model. One of the main reasons that drew me toward this specific presentation was the fact that I had read the book Night by Ellie Wiesel before, giving me background information to both the book and the presentation. Overall on the presentation, outstanding job from both Karnie and Rita.

  1. A great amount of appreciation is necessary for the kind words that Shahe stated about "The Perils of Indifference" speech presentation. Shahe did an exceptional job in identifying the different aspects that were presented during the speech analysis. It truly is tragic the way that the Americans turned their heads away from the Jews seeking help in order to save their lives. Outstanding blog post Shahe!
