The required paragraph in the question above should be made based on your interpretation of the work selected by you and based on how you believe that work makes you recognize yourself, as Kimberly Koza stated. For that reason, I can't create this paragraph for you, but I can show you how to write it.

First, you must choose one of the works presented in the selection above. You will have to read and reread, until you understand all the work and the message that the author presents.

Then, you must show how the author of this work exposes a concept that touches deeply in your personality and makes you recognize characteristics in yourself and in the society around you.

You can use "The Gettysburg Address" by President Abraham Lincoln, for example, as it is a short text and you can find many articles about it that explain it in detail.

If you choose this text, you can use the following information to create your paragraph:

Lincoln declaimed this speech at the end of the American Civil War, after he acknowledged the deaths of countless soldiers.
Lincoln aimed to provoke sentimentalism in the public regarding the death of men who were fighting for what they believe.
Lincoln reinforces the importance of both Union soldiers and Confederate soldiers, as he wants to show that everyone's life is valuable and should be honored.
This shows that regardless of which side of a war a person stands for, that person's life is important to their loved ones and to the country as a whole.
This shows that Lincoln had a strong empathy, even for soldiers who thought differently from him.
This text, in turn, can show that a war cannot end our sympathy and solidarity with the people who suffer from this war, regardless of which side they are on.
