One can conclude‚ this is what Lear had in mind when his most loving daughter Cordelia‚ failed to woe him in the same manner his sisters

President Obama aimed to unite the American public in the fight against terrorism in his speech following the death of Osama bin Laden through his use of diction and pathos.
