Uddrag
In the second speech, we meet Oprah Winfrey, who is an American actor and talk show host. Using the speech, she chooses to convey some slightly harsher messages than the speech above.

Among other things, she asks a question to the young students, “Can you, the class of 2020, show us not how to put the pieces back together again, but how to create a new and more evolved normal, a world more just, kind, beautiful, tender, luminous, creative, whole? We need you to do this”(ll.132-135) .

What is meant by this quote is that there is some requirement for this newly graduated generation. She wants some positive things to happen in the future, where she puts a lot of pressure and expectations on the young people.
