Margaret Thatcher, in her eulogy about President Ronald Reagan, implies that Reagan transformed the world as president. Thatcher supports her implication by describing how Ronald Reagan “won the Cold War” non-violently and by illustrating how he “resisted Soviet expansion… until the day came when communism began to collapse” (Thatcher). Her purpose is to make her readers aware of her relationship with President Reagan in order to help them appreciate his political decisions and mourn his unfortunate death. She establishes a reflective tone with her audience of anti-communist Americans.
