A Comparison of Writer’s Attitude A Lincoln Preface, written by Carl Sandburg, and “Arthur Ashe Remembered”, by John McPhee both show how the writer’s attitude toward their subjects affect the reader’s reaction. In A Lincoln Preface, Carl Sandburg talked about how Abraham Lincoln is remembered as one of our greatest presidents of the United States. He also talked about the election in 1860 that less than half of the country supported him. One of the reasons why so many didn’t support him was because he was eager to put a stop to slaves and many of the people in the south had slaves.
In Arthur Ashe Remembered, John Mcphee Talked about a man but the name of Arthur Ashe. He was an African American man that achieved his greatness in tennis.
