How does the audience for Mora’s speech differ from the audience for her essay? The essay is meant to be read only by those who
grew up in border towns; the speech, however, is meant for a general audience. The speech can reach only a small group of students, but because the essay is a published text, it can reach a broad, general audience. The speech is aimed at a group of parents and teachers; the essay, on the other hand, is written only for students. The essay is directed at leaders who embrace cultural diversity, but the speech is directed at leaders who do not celebrate cultural diversity.
