Answer:

1. Question: What is the purpose of Mandela's speech?

Nelson Mandela's purpose is to inform others about what is to come of South Africa now that he is president and South African struggles.. Nelson's purpose is to persuade others to fight for equal rights. He wants to unite all people. His purpose is to strike the hearts of people with hope.

Nelson Mandela is making a point that as time goes on, the country of South Africa will improve and progress. In the past, South Africa was an extremely hateful country that practiced legal segregation, which was called apartheid. After Nelson Mandela became president, he got rid of any legal discrimination. Hopefully, in the future, there will be more justice, peace, and equality for everyone. I know this because I studied Nelson's Mandela's life and his motivation to create his speech in school.

2. What does Mandela say or do in the introduction of his speech that focuses his audience on his primary objective?

This address was delivered to the people of South Africa. He addresses as many people as he can in order to reach as many South Africans as possible.

Nelson Mandela

  • "I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people."

Mandela repeats the phrase negotiations to urge and push for further discussions, which will bring them closer to liberation.

Nelson Mandela:

Was imprisoned for wanting equal rights.

Wanted apartheid to end, Ran for president in South Africa and abolished apartheid, Speech is about coming together as South Africans, Talking about rights for all people

He believes that no one should suffer from racial discrimination, gender discrimination, poverty, and other discrimination. Nelson Mandela believes that equal rights should be granted to everyone everywhere. He doesn't want his people to feel isolated. All people come from the same place. Everyone deserves basic human rights.
