Elie Wiesel’s speech is an excellent example of how an author can be extremely persuasive. Write a biographical report on the author Elie Wiesel. In your report, include the following information: 1. A brief examination of the author’s life: early life, family, education… 2. The general historical context of the time (what was happening during the author’s lifetime that may have influenced their writing. Focus in on one or two events or the character of the time in which they lived.) 3. Other major works of the author and tone of the works. Comment on whether or not they too are all either satirical in tone or persuasive. 4. Include at least one image of the author. 5. Include at least one other opinion of the author. What do others say about the author and their importance in or to society?
