Senor Noboa By Cesar Chavez: How Words Inspire Change

How Words Can Inspire Change

Words can inspire change through action and emotion because words can inspire people to take action, to do what's right. People such as Martin Luther King Jr. inspired many. He used his speeches to spread information on the injustice to the minorities, showing the public the unfairness towards him and his brothers and sisters around the world. The audience's emotions can be changed and persuaded on an important topic by using calls to action and creating awareness because creating emotional investment encourages the audience to change the injustice or problems around the world.

The story, Senor Noboa, by Raul Leis, represents this very well. “The peons turn their backs and refuse to look him in the face because the legend has gone around that every time Senor Noba visits those places a laborer dies of some illness or accident.” (P.69) This quote inspires change because every time Noboa visited the plantation, someone died.
