Answer 1

Based on the context provided, the two speeches that would likely emphasize the theme of immigrants coming to America to escape difficult situations are:

1. Juanita Ramirez’s - As an immigrant character, her speech is likely to reflect the struggles and reasons for leaving her home country, such as escaping violence, poverty, or political oppression.

2. Ty Smith’s - His speech may also focus on the challenges faced before arriving in America, highlighting the desire for a better life or safety.

These characters are more likely to embody the experiences of immigrants seeking refuge from hardship, aligning with the theme in question.
