Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met
on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives
that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it, for above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here
have thus for so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead
we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. 1a the speech addressed all the citizens of the united states 2a the speech was delivered by abraham lincoln 3a the speech was delivered on november 19, 1863, after the battle of gettysburg 4a the bravery of union soldiers who died at the battle of gettysburg was the speech's topic 5a the speech was part of a ceremony to honor soldiers who died at the battle of gettysburg 1a occasion 2a audience 3a subject 4a speaker 5a purpose

Hich statement offers the best comparison of the two poems? where have you gone." i am a black woman.

Me ! it's e2020! review the line from karin slaughter's npr interview."and with each page, that's what i try to do- is say something different about the character, something different in the reactions when they find these horrible things that are happening, or they figure out a piece of the puzzle."how does this view contract with lee child's central idea in "a simple way to create suspense"? a • child feels that the characters are not important to the plot. slaughter feels characters are central. b • child feels that characters must be unattractive and uninteresting. slaughter feels they must have reactions. c • slaughter builds suspense through her characters. child builds suspense by delaying answers. d • slaughter builds suspense by writing puzzles. child builds suspense by telling anecdotes.
