Mother spent her life making others’ better, and she clearly states this throughout her speech with the use of rhetorical devices and appeals to the reader. Our world is no stranger to cultural differentiation. We are unique in the way that no two people are alike, and we can have so many varieties of people. It’s what makes our Earth so incredibly diverse, and truly fascinating. However, this is bound to cause a little tension.
