Spectulate on both speeches
In "Toni Morrison's Nobel Speech" was written to tell the audience how there language gives them their human differences, the way we are not like any other life. Toni Morrison wrote this speech to let the audience know that language is power and a political instrument. The way you talk gives everyone a perspective of you and people who cannot talk for themselves will be invisible. The purpose of the speech was to challenge the audience to use their language to heal and elevate the damage we had done to this world. It also explains why English teachers are so hard on students on the way they talk.
In "This Is Water" by David Foster Wallace was written to give the audience another prospective on life. The speech makes you think about others and how they are feeling before you react to anything. In the speech he gives real life examples so everybody can relate to him and make the speech more understandable. The purpose of the speech was to tell how we misunderstand the importance of education and how we as people get caught merely just going with the flow and not living life to the fullest. The point of education is to advertise awareness of interdependence, we're all in this together.
