Answer:

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the speaker wants to persuade people to be heroes who overcome evil. The speaker does so by first talking about the "heart of evil." She tells us that the heart of evil is in every one of us. This means that we all have the potential to do great evil. She links this evil with the fate that the indigenous people of America suffered at the hands of the European colonizers. She makes an emotional appeal by reminding us of this sad event, and urging us to be the heroes that do not let this evil win.
