How do the underlined phrases affect the meaning and
tone of this passage?
America has a deeply confused image of itself that is in
perpetual tension. We are a nation that takes pride in our

very differences that in other contexts we laud.

They show diversity,
They demand change.
They celebrate diversity,
They express a moral dilemma.
