In at least 150 words, identify the purpose of President John F. Kennedy’s "Inaugural Address," and explain how the speaker uses historical references to achieve that purpose.

He references what has happened in the past and implied that there will be a change for the future.

Explanation:

Lincoln referred to the old colonial days where men longed for freedom and that now the day has come. He also encourages us to understand the the world is different now that people have removed themselves from the immoral practises, this may be a reference to slavery.

He encourages the people to view themselves as heirs that have overcame the first revolution and that this new winning spirit must be passed along.

He also reassures the allies that they have that they will continue to be friends and that they will build not only America together but spread peace throughout the world.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
