Question:
In Paragraph 4, President Obama repeats the phrase “Students who sat where you sit …” Why does he include this phrase? How does it add to the meaning of this excerpt? Use evidence from the text.
It emphasizes the fact that there were people just like us now and that they influenced great change. It adds to the meaning because he talks about how they made such big things such as the networking sites listed. He tells us this because he thinks we also have the potential to influence things just as they did.
