Compare And Contrast Winston Churchill And Elie Wiesel

Black and white. That’s how you were told to see, that’s how life was set, eventually though things will change. Oskar Schindler and Elie Wiesel were both on different sides but in many ways they were similar. Living becomes heavy, becomes hard but you must persevere. Elie Wiesel was put on the side of the victim he was hurt and treated like nothing whilst Oskar Schindler was treated like a king.

Churchill builds credibility in order to make his audience believe in his words by providing their standpoint in the war they face against Nazi Germany. The main objective of this speech is to encourage the British to fight for their country and not accept defeat in the battle known as World War II. He also addresses his audience and “Mr. Speaker” that the creation of a War Cabinet was necessary in order to protect

To be Human How does one remain himself as everything he has ever known is ripped away from him? Elie Wiesel recalls his own experiences with this challenge in his self written book, Night. In this book, Wiesel takes you on a eye opening ride to see and experience the hard life of Jewish people under German Control. Wiesel shows how to accomplish the nearly impossible, surviving.

But in the political spectrum they were both very opposite people, Winston Churchill wanted his people to stand up for what was right and not fear tyrannical powers whereas Adolf Hitler wanted to be the power that everyone feared. Winston Churchill gave his famous Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat speeches in 1940 he wasn’t yet Prime Minister of England but with that speech “The House gave him a 381-to-0 vote of confidence”5 caused him the gain a position that helped shaped the war and his country. Like Adolf Hitler, Winston Churchill used the people of England emotions about the current war to help boost his popularity amongst the population “what is our policy? It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us”2 was inspirational words said to inspire the people to back up the war effort so England could hit Germany swift and hard to try to bring peace to Europe. A year after the war had started things were looking grim because a lot of countries had been having a hard time against the German advancement and to encourage the people to still support the war and not let them give up hope he said “Death and ruin have become small things compared with the shame of defeat or failure in duty”3 putting the events they had gone through in words like this made them realize that if they stopped now all the deaths and turmoil would have been for nothing and just a waste of time, money, and lives.

For this reason, unlike Roosevelt, Churchill does not reflect back what is happening in the world. Berlin claims, “Rather, he creates one of such power and coherence that it becomes a reality and alters the external world by imposing upon it with irresistible force” (559). Churchill is not a leader that is a reflection of the current times and where society seems to be headed. Instead, he meditates and draws within himself and creates his own ideas (that are so powerful that they become reality).

Churchill addressed World War 1 and World War 2 in his speech. Churchill told his nation that World War 1 was a lot different than the war they were fighting at the moment (World War 2). Churchill tried to calm his country by telling them that this was not as brutal of a war they had fought in the past. Churchill said, “The British casualties in the first 12 months of the Great War amounted to 365,000”. Churchill then said, “In this war, I am thankful to say, British killed, wounded, prisoners, and missing, including civilians, do not exceed 92,000”.

Growing up, I have learned about both World Wars, the Cold War, The Vietnam War, and the War on Terrorism. As interesting as war can be and how much one can learn from a cultures because of war, I have grown tired of wars. I have gone to public school for all of my education and I have seen multiple cases of bullying and too many acts of rudeness. As I mature, I find myself coming to terms with the world and my life, I am becoming to love all of it. When I wake up, my favorite thing to do is step outside and inhale the brisk morning air and admire the world I live in.

When people hear the name of Winston Churchill, it instantly conjures up images of bravery, valor, and an unwavering commitment to his country. Many credit Churchill’s ability to deliver a moving speech as to why he was able to persuade a country to war. Churchill was not the only British leader able to move a country to war. Less known than Churchill, Queen Elizabeth had to rally her country to war in 1588 against the Spanish Armada coming to attack.

He was able to inspire hope in people through allusions and comparisons to the past. He was able to inspire confidence and fortitude by giving people the honest situation at hand using logos. And he was able to deliver his main message of strength and readiness by constantly referring to it within his speech. Churchill’s speech wen t down in history, not because he said what the people wanted to hear, but because he said what the people needed to hear. His honesty and rhetoric made “Their Finest Hour” one of the most crucially important and greatest speeches of the Second World War if not the past

A quote says, “No candle lit in his memory. His last word had been my name. He had called out to me and I had not answered” (112).This shows that he regretted not being able doing more in his father 's last hours and made moments more precious to him. He was changed so greatly from previous event and could recognize that and no longer do the things he wished . Wiesel says, “I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep.

Churchill begins by giving context to the previous happenings of the war, in order to allow people to grasp the power of the German forces when it comes to invasion. Churchill states that “there has never been a period… of which we boast when an absolute guarantee against invasion… could’ve been given to our people”. One can’t be too overconfident about guarantees, because there is always a chance attached to them. However, Churchill reassures that the British naval and air powers can be exercised through preparation against “every kind of novel stratagem and every kind of brutal and treacherous maneuver”. These words

Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, in his speech, ¨ Blood, Toil, Sweat, and Tears,¨ addresses the importance of national unity on May, 13 1940, during the Battle of France after he was elected Prime Minister by the King. Churchill’s purpose was to elaborate on the significance of unity during the state of war they were in. Churchill’s usage of pathos, repetition, and anaphora assists in appealing to both sides of the argument and igniting action among the people of Britain. Churchill begins his speech to the House of Commons by acknowledging the fact that he knows not everyone will agree with him. He appeals to pathos by enticing their patriotism, describing the situation by stating, ¨ We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.

The King’s Speech does do great service to his figure by showing him in a positive light, despite him being a minor character in the film. He was depicted to be a intelligent, strong, and a friend to many; however, Churchill was not perfect and has conducted some actions that were unfavorable to the public. During

Maybe to be thought of the greatest leader ever by some, Winston will bring glory and honor to his entire nation. Winston Churchill was a great leader of his time ; because of his decisions, accomplishments, and beliefs.

How do you expect someone to show you who they really are when dealing with conflict and not being able to overcome it? Leaders are most likely to overcome obstacles. While others can not deal with challenges. Sir Winston Churchill shows lots of courage when faced with arguments. In the story “the boy in the striped pajamas” also deals with conflict but reacts to it in different ways.
