Rhetorical questions are statements formed as questions but not meant to be answered. this devise draws attention to
a claim and introduces a discussion. read this excerpt from elie wiesel's "hope, despair and memory" and answer the
question.
the next question had to be, why go on? if memory continually brought us back to this, why build a home?
why bring children into a world in which god and man betrayed their trust in one another?
of course we could try to forget the past. why not? is it not natural for a human being to repress what causes
him pain, what causes him shame? like the body, memory protects its wounds. when day breaks after a
sleepless night, one's ghosts must withdraw; the dead are ordered back to their graves. but for the first time
in history, we could not bury our dead. we bear their graves within ourselves.
for us, forgetting was never an option.
which best describes how wiesel uses rhetorical questions in this excerpt?
to show the paradox between hope for the future and despair for the past
to equate memory to despair
o to show the pointlessness of the violence of auschwitz
to demonstrate the seriousness of the struggle
