Read the passage from President Bush's speech. "Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.

Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone."

The saint President Bush refers to is Mother Teresa. She lived among and served the poor all over the world. She symbolizes selflessness in giving of herself to take care of others.

How doe the allusion to Mother Teresa affect the meaning of the speech?

1. It urges listeners to live among the poor in order to help them improve their lives.

2. She serves as an example of how Americans should treat each other and their country.

3. She sets an example of how well-run democratic counties should be governed.

4.
It appeals to the emotions of listeners so that they will feel guilty if they ignore the poor.
