…Taking away something I’ve known for all my life, gone... What seemed to be a scary dream, in which I cannot awake from. I had lived in the same place practically my whole life. The school I went to was great. I knew everyone, and everyone knew me. I had lived there for 13 or more years, so I was very comfortable with my surroundings, and how things were turning out. Well… On a late Friday night at the end February, that was all about to change. I distinctively remember that night pretty clearly

Its ironic that Everett delivered his two-hour speech from memory and to me I don’t feel it really touched the people how Lincoln

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 the year of one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, I was the strongest protestor in accord with Abraham Lincoln’s election (ANB). I believe he will bring what is needed in this country, and I will continue to fight for him to become the leader of what could be a great and preserved nation! I do not feel that this will come lightly and a war must occur with the south in order to end slavery once and for all, no matter the sake of peace (WB). 1865 “I am unspeakably happy to believe that the

April 23, 2010 Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address In an attempt to garner sympathy and cooperation, for the sake of progress in southern reconstruction, from both sides of the former front, Lincoln first uses passive word choice and language, and then uses biblical allusions to conjure a moralistic tone. Initially, Lincoln's language and word choice do not appear to be antagonizing. Lincoln's statement: “All
