Explanation: Sonia Sotomayor is a Supreme Court Justice. In the mentioned speech she starts by saying: "This is awesome. There are graduates families and friends here today from all fifty states and from around the world. I suspect that having this ceremony at Yankee stadium may not be so meaningful for the many of you who are not from New York or the few misguided of you like David Brooks who root for the Mets...". Then in her speech, she soundly mentions to remember friends and family members.

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
