Eva Longoria - A very good actress or a sincere political activist?

Hi guys,

today we tried to understand better Eva Longoria's speech in which she made many references to the "American Dream" and the "opportunity".

Here is what we finally said about the speech:

What is the goal of her speech?

- to show she's brave / courageous
- to share painful and positive emotions
- to sympathize with people
- to move people

The examples she takes:

- Personal example: She's lived the American Dream. When she was a student, she worked hard (mechanic shop, fast food restaurant, gym club).
+ financial aid
+ she took a loan at the bank.
-> She embodies the American Dream.
