To answer the question accurately, I would need specific details or excerpts from the speeches by each character in the second part of the play. Generally, speeches that discuss fleeing war, persecution, poverty, or oppressive regimes tend to emphasize the theme of immigrants coming to America to escape difficult situations.

Based on typical themes found in immigrant narratives, characters like Juanita Ramirez, often representing Latin American immigrants, might discuss escaping violence or poverty, while Max Littlefoot, representing Indigenous or Native American perspectives, might speak to escaping historical oppression or marginalization.

In the absence of that detailed information, I would suggest that "Juanita Ramirez’s" and "Max Littlefoot’s" speeches would likely align well with the theme of escaping difficult situations, but please refer back to the specific content of the speeches in the play to confirm.
