Answer:
It simplifies complex ideas and emotions for the audience.
It enables a better understanding of Cassius because he compares himself to Aeneas.
It connects the context of the play to the myth of a great hero that the audience admires.
Explanation:
This is an excerpt from Shakespeare's play, <em>Julius Caesar</em>, in which a group of conspirators decides to murder Caesar, as he is becoming more and more powerful.
In these particular lines uttered by Cassius (one of the conspirators), he recalls a situation when Caesar and him found themselves on the banks of the Tiber River. The two of them swam through the water, determined to reach a distant point. But Caesar became weak, and asked Cassius to help him so as not to sink. While retelling this story, Cassius compares himself to Aeneas, a great hero that founded Rome. Aeneas rescued his father from the fire in Troy, and Cassius rescued Caesar from drowning. This allusion contributes to our better understanding of his character and the way he perceives himself.
<span>My hope is that half of them will become the entrepreneurs that we need, who will create these jobs that we need, and the other half will go into government and the nonprofit sector, and they will build the institutions that we need. But they won't just learn academics. They will also learn how to become leaders, and they will develop their skills as entrepreneurs. So think of this as Africa's Ivy League, but instead of getting admitted because of your SAT scores or because of how much money you have or which family you come from, the main criteria for getting into this university will be what is the potential that you have for transforming Africa?</span>

My hopeis that many, many other home-grown African institutions will blossom, and these institutions will all come together with a common vision of developing this next generation of African leaders, generation four, and they will teach them this common message: create jobs, build our institutions.</span>
12:51<span>Nelson Mandela once said, "Every now and then, a generation is called upon to be great. You can be that great generation." I believe that if we carefully identify and cultivate the next generation of African leaders, then this generation four that is coming up will be the greatest generation that Africa <span>and indeed the entire world has ever seen.</span></span>
