The Gettysburg Address

1. In this address, Lincoln doesn't mention slavery,constitution,doesn't really talk much about the civil war.

2. The last sentence is basically talking about honoring the ones who have gone before us. it runs on and on about the dead's devotion toward us and how we should devote ourselves toward them. His argument is to honor the dead for the giid things they have done for us that cost their lives. I think the effect on his audience reading this would be to really think about our lives and how much better they are because of the veterans.

3. The Declaration of Independence and The Gettysburg Address was written to show our freedom and how our freedom came along. The two reflect different purposes because Abe Lincoln's point was to get us to think about the veterans and how we should honor them respectfully. The Declaration of Independence was to show on written paper that we as a nation can do whatever we want, have our own rights and beliefs toward specific topics no matter if our fellow man agrees or not. It shows that we can also alter our beliefs if we find that someone else's is better.

4. Actually there is really only one good speech that i have taken interest into and remembered some to tell people who have no idea about him. That speech was Dr. Martin Luther King and it compares to Lincoln's because they both talk about the values of freedom. King talked about how he has a dream that every white boy and black girl can join hands together without feeling any animosity. Lincon's coincides with that because he speaks about the veterans in the civil war and how we need to respect them because their lives cost us a life that is able to be and do whatever you like.Around that time, King had already spoke in front of thousands upon thousands of people with I Have A Dream.
