Read the excerpt from the TED Talks presentation “I Am the Son of a Terrorist.”
For the victims of terrorism, I will speak out against these senseless acts and condemn my father’s actions. And with that simple fact, I stand here as proof that violence isn’t inherent in one’s religion or race, and the son does not have to follow the ways of his father. I am not my father.
Which options most effectively analyze how Zak Ebrahim uses diction to convey a point?
