<em>The Bet </em>is Anton Chekhov's short story which describes a bet between a lawyer and a banker. They argue about a capital punishment and the former claims that life imprisonment is better than that because at least you know that you are living. At this point, the banker makes a bet with him in which he will give a lawyer 2 million if he is imprisoned for 15 years. The lawyer agrees and the story then shows how his thoughts change over the years because of the books he reads, because of the wine he tastes and most importantly because of the life he lives awaiting his freedom. In the end of the story, the lawyer succeeds changing the banker into someone different which he claims that 2 million is meaningless for him now. The correct answer for the development of the banker is thus the first option. <em>To avoid arousing unnecessary talk, he took from the table the writing in which the millions were renounced, and when he got home locked it up in the fireproof safe </em>is the last sentence of the story in which the banker tries to save the identity of the lawyer by this way.

Answer the following questions as you analyze the structure of Mandela’s speech. What is the purpose of Mandela’s speech? How do
kirza4 [7]

The purpose of Mandela's speech was not simply to address the nation as their new president and give gratitude to those who put him there but instead to make a statement that South Africa was going to make immense changes and unify to show the world what the nation could truly do in order to become a land of hope. There are a few purposes to this speech, one being to unify the nation of south Africa by bringing the blacks and the whites together. The speech was also used to motivate and inspire the people of South Africa. I know this because I've studied Mandela's life in one of my subjects at school.

The audience for this speech was the people of South Africa. He addresses every one he possibly can to broaden his audience so that every South African hears his message.

Nelson Mandela

"I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people."

Mandela repeats the word negotiations as he wants to encourage and push for more negotiations - a thing that will bring them closer to freedom.
