The tone and rhetoric in which Mr. Trump used in this context sent a chill throughout the country, and put unfair focus on the Hispanic community.

In Barbara Bush’s speech at the Wellesley college commencement in 1990. I believe that her main ideas are to remind the students that success is not defined by social expectations by unique personal goals when listening to her speech!

This is seen through her use of ethos and pathos when creating an emphatic delivery and appealing to the emotions of the audience when utilising anecdotes. This is also further seen through her repetition of female pronouns when persuading the audience

She made headway by becoming a US Senator from the State of New York, and that was a significant achievement.
