Assertion Analysis #2

Elie Wiesel's view of the world is indifference. Indifference being lack of interest or concern. Americans have become indifferent. There is no hate, no ugliness just people who have become indifferent. Americans have become so indifferent that they no longer care of what is going on in the world around them, they only care of themselves. Americans have become indifferent, that they no longer care if we go into war or that we, humans, are destroying the Earth. It is way easier for Americans to avoid what's going on around them then actually care of what's happening. Americans are indifferent. 

Throughout his assertion, Wiesel uses rhetorical devices to support his claim. He uses anaphora and repetition like "The opposite of" and "indifference" to catch the viewers attention and state his argument. He also has syntax, in which he makes sentences short and straight to the point. " The opposite of beauty is not ugliness, it's indifference." His mood throughout  his assertion is negative. "Indifferent" is a negative feeling in which people become, and throughout his assertion he repeats indifferent so much to show how important it is and to remind the audience that we have become indifferent.
