In the House Divided Speech, Abraham Lincoln wrote about an issue that he felt strongly about and that was very important to him. Write a short speech (150 words) about a topic that is important to you, using specific word choice to convey tone (author's attitude). Choose an informational text structure (ex. problem/solution, cause/effect) that helps communicate and develop your ideas clearly. In your speech, include an allusion or image that you think conveys the situation in a powerful and memorable way. (ex. Lincoln alluding to Jesus in his House Divided speech) Make it your goal to persuade your audience to accept your point of view.

claim 2: "wherefore, since nothing but blows will do, for god’s sake, let us come to a final separation, and not leave the next generation to be cutting throats, under the violated unmeaning names of parent and child."
