Answer: The right answer is the B) Well-intentioned, but ignorant.

Explanation: The main character if this short story by American writer Dorothy Parker is a talkative and arguably naive woman who has been invited to a party in honor of a Black musician. She asks her host to introduce her to him, since she seems to be passionate about his music, and although she is well-intentioned in her judgements about him and about Black people, which she shares with her host, she is also very ignorant and prejudiced. For instance, at some point she describes them in these terms: "They’re just like children, just as easy-going, and always singing and laughing and everything. Aren’t they the happiest things you ever saw in your life? Honestly, it makes me laugh just to hear them." After she finally meets her idol, she reflects upon their encounter with her host. She concludes by saying that, "unlike many other colored people [...] he's got more sense," and admits that she "could hardly keep a straight face" when talking to him, since she kept thinking about her (racist) husband. She has genuine good feelings and she means well, but she does not know better, she is ignorant and has been definitely influenced and misled by those who surround her.

Answer the following questions as you analyze the structure of Mandela’s speech. What is the purpose of Mandela’s speech? How do
kirza4 [7]

The purpose of Mandela's speech was not simply to address the nation as their new president and give gratitude to those who put him there but instead to make a statement that South Africa was going to make immense changes and unify to show the world what the nation could truly do in order to become a land of hope. There are a few purposes to this speech, one being to unify the nation of south Africa by bringing the blacks and the whites together. The speech was also used to motivate and inspire the people of South Africa. I know this because I've studied Mandela's life in one of my subjects at school.

The audience for this speech was the people of South Africa. He addresses every one he possibly can to broaden his audience so that every South African hears his message.

Nelson Mandela

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

Mandela repeats the word negotiations as he wants to encourage and push for more negotiations - a thing that will bring them closer to freedom.
