Answer 1

Mandela influences people's views by reporting his own experiences of oppression due to apartheid. These experiences impact his feelings, as he recognizes that more people go through this situation, being a collective case.

How does Mandela establish the fight against apartheid?

• It addresses personal issues.
• It shows the oppressive experience that goes through.
• It shows how difficult it is to survive in this system.

Mandela reinforces his personal experiences because he knows that most listeners have suffered the same things, that is, by positioning personal situations, he provokes collective recognition. This makes all listeners agree with him, for identifying with what he went through.

Mandela's feelings, in this case, are affected by the collectivity, which makes it possible for a revolt to be provoked.
