Primo Levi

Engages Readers From a Standpoint of....

I think that since Primo Levi's writing style in itself engages and attracts readers that may normally enjoy reading poetry or books. Since he writes in a style that is like an evaluation of a experiment or theory, he attracts a very wide variety of readers. He may attract other scientists or mathematicians that think in a very logical and dynamically.

Another device Primo Levi employs throughout his writing to engage readers is by commanding his readers to listen to what he has to say, and never forget it. He wants the world to understand and acknowledge the horrors he and millions of other Jews went through. After the horrors and sufferings are acknowledged, he wants his readers not to forget those who were killed and to never let anything like the holocaust ever happen again. No people group should have to suffer and be killed for their ethnicity or religious views. Primo Levi's writing would call out the audience in saying that it is their, and population in general, responsibility to ensure that a horrific event, such as the holocaust, never happen again. He makes a case for this through the moral obligation that the human race has to each other.
