The audience for this piece is European audiences, specifically of the younger generation

One filled with purpose and meaning.

He’s a realist and I can tell that just by the speech, and the statement of the duration of the time frame. He tries using humor. I feel he does this to lighten the mood. Graduation speeches are usually serious. He tries to be relatable by saying he doesn’t know how to give the advice to prepare them for the future because who knows what to say. He tries to be as relatable as possible.

The message is that he started from quite literally nothing. He worked his way up in life, was called things like, “Disruptive, talkative, a distraction.” He talks about past life experiences with past teachers and people he’s come into contact with. The students listening to this were quite moved. The tone was very passionate here. The in-depth descriptions of every event he’s had to go through keep the audience at the edge of their seat.

In his country doing so he could have been killed. Knowing how to read and write could have meant escaping. This is so moving and so powerful. He sets the tone, by relating the speech to his actual struggles.
