Explanation:
Answer:
Confident and Humble
Explanation:
This is an inaugural address, meaning that the speaker, John F. Kennedy, was just elected into office. When Kennedy says, "In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility--I welcome it," it shows that he is confident in his abilities to strengthen the country. This might seem as if he is being egocentric; however, later in the speech, he mentions "our country" and "my fellow Americans" meaning that he has put himself on the same level as the readers/listeners. He makes himself seem equally John F. Kennedy the president and John F. Kennedy the person.
