I think the audience was the people of Arizona, Native Americans, and people who have not been to the Grand Canyon before. There were many purposes of the speech. One was for Arizonans to know what Roosevelt wanted to do with the Grand Canyon. Another purpose was to tell Native Americans that they are part of us and we are equal. The last purpose I think was to tell people to visit the Grand Canyon because it is a great thing to see.
What specific details stay in your mind? Why? How do these small details lead to larger ideas?
What really stuck out to me was the fact that he used his military backgroud a lot in the speech. It stuck out because he used it so many times. The stories about the military helped to get to some of the larger ideas.
