Read the excerpt from narrative of the life of frederick douglass.
in the same book, i met with one of sheridan's mighty speeches on and in behalf of catholic emancipation. these were choice documents to me. i read them over and over again with unabated interest. they gave tongue to interesting thoughts of my own soul, which had frequently flashed through my mind, and died away for want of utterance.

"Mighty” reflects how powerful and influential the speeches were to Douglass in a way that “great” would not.
Mighty means possessing power or authority. These elements are not exactly part of the definition of the word great, which simply means large, remarkable, or predominant. With mighty, there is a connotation of significance and impact. Indeed, the narrator tells us that these speeches fascinated him ("unabated interest") and influenced his thinking ("they gave tongue to interesting thoughts of my own soul").
Ответ:
