compare and contrast the two speeches assigned

In the two speeches assigned i saw them as point of views of each person in the story, the lady in Nobel Lecture was blind she had no way of telling what was in the hand of the young people, she went and told them that she was not sure if the bird was alive or dead all she knew was the bird was in their hands, she went off of what she knew and gave them a response she didn't over think anything she went off her "view" she used her wisdom and knew that they either found the bird dead and like how it was or if it was alive it could be dead soon. The man in This is Water has a whole different view at first he starts off with how he has it tough and he is frustrated and how he can't stand it when he is stuck in grocery lines and traffic but then near the end he changes his view he goes on to talk about how the reason why someone cuts you off in traffic could be because their kid or passenger is sick or injured or how the people in line at the grocery store could be in the same mood your in and not want to be standing in line as well and how everything is in a sense not as it seems. We quickly judge everything and make fun of people and in the end we may not see the bigger picture it doesn't happen every time but it will happen every now and then and it inevitable. The differences i see are few they are both about thinking and how we see things but its in who its directed towards, the lady is directing it to kids in the story while in real life it can be directed towards anyone it's not a specific group, the other speech seems to be directed towards hard working people and seniors, the lady also talks about how life is in a sense based around language and how without it we are basically nothing. These speeches told a lot about how we should think before we speak and how there can always be a bigger picture.
