Lessons from a third grade dropout 1) What is the "central idea" of the speech by Dr. Rick Rigsby?

The speech is about the lessons he learned from his father, a third-grade dropout, who was also the most intelligent man that he had ever known. He empowered and challenged his audience by asking them to ask themselves, “how am I living?

He had a very effective and empowering speech. One that relied heavily on his pathos and ethos, as he spoke of his own father’s wisdom and how it encouraged him in life. But also, on logos, with the many quotes he pulled out of his head.

this would be in the imperative mood. it is a category of verb forms that are used to express orders,instructions,commands or requests.
