What argument does Lincoln make about the Civil War in "The Gettysburg Address"?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

"The Gettysburg Address" is a speech given by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. which some consider to be the greatest speech ever given by any US President.

Although the largest portion of this short speech is about honoring and remembering soldiers who gave their life on the battlefield, it is important to focus on the first few sentences of the speech.

Lincoln starts by reminding everyone on the Declaration of Independence 87 years ago (four score and seven years ago). That was the document that created and shaped American nation. The most prominent pillar on which the document resides is that "all men are created equal".

Now, Lincoln argues that that belief is put to a test. And that test is Civil War. It is a test that needs to show whether a country so dedicated to freedom and equality can endure and persist.

Basically, he poses a question "How long will a country that rests on the principles of freedom and equality regard slavery as normal thing?". According to him, the answer lies in the outcome of the war.

And caught a little silver trout.



When I had laid it on the floor

I went to blow the fire a-flame,

But something rustled on the floor,

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossom in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran

And faded through the brightening air.

The golden apples of the sun.

Answers

Answer:  The two perspectives that could be seen are the grandparents that are migrating from Europe, to a newfound land that is free to take and to expand on. But the grandchild, of these grandparents, views it as a land that has already been developed and is being invaded by the Europeans.

"Ellis Island" is a poem by Joseph Bruchac about dreams. It shows the journey of the grandparents to a new place and the problems faced by the immigrants.

What is the idea of "Ellis Island?"  

"Ellis Island" is about the immigrants that traveled to America's Ellis Island to settle and live their life. The poet shows the perspective of the grandparents and the grandchildren on being an immigrant.

Though there is a difference between their thoughts on being an immigrant as the grandparents think that they are moving to a place that is free and can be expanded to their wish. On the other hand, the grandchildren thought of the land as a preoccupied and already developed place.

Therefore, there is a difference between the perspectives of the grandparents and the grandchildren.

What type of figurative language is used in this line "please close that door."

Explanation:

Support the motion with reasonable points which says Mothers are more responsible than Fathers. with explanations plzzzzzzz​

Answers

Parents in households where both parents work full time report that mothers are doing more than fathers when it comes to managing their children's schedules and activities. Some 54% say the mother does more in this area, while 6% say the father does and 39% say parents share this responsibility about equally.

American motherhood has changed in many ways since Mother’s Day was first celebrated more than 100 years ago. Today’s moms are more educated than ever before. A majority of women with a young child are in the labor force, and more mothers are serving as their family’s sole or primary “breadwinner.” At the same time, the share of mothers who are stay-at-home moms has held steady in recent decades after falling precipitously in the 1970s and 1980s.

Here are some key findings about American mothers and motherhood from Pew Research Center reports: Women are more likely now to become mothers than they were a decade ago, and this is particularly the case among highly educated women. The share of women at the end of their childbearing years (ages 40 to 44) who had ever given birth was 86% in 2016, up from 80% in 2006. This was similar to the share who were mothers in the early 1990s.

Over the past 20 years, highly educated women have experienced particularly dramatic increases in motherhood. In 2014, 80% of women ages 40 to 44 with a Ph.D. or professional degree had given birth, compared with 65% in 1994.

The shares of women who were mothers also rose among those with bachelor’s or master’s degrees during this period, while rates of motherhood remained steady for women with less than a bachelor’s degree, at 88%.

2Women are becoming mothers later in life. The median age at which women become mothers in the U.S. is 26, up from 23 in 1994. While this change has been driven in part by declines in births to teens, delays in motherhood have continued among women in their 20s. In 1994, more than half (53%) of women in their early 40s had become mothers by age 24; by 2014, this share had fallen to 39%.

3Mothers are spending more time in the labor force than in the past, but also more time on child care. In 2016, moms spent around 25 hours a week on paid work, up from nine hours in 1965. At the same time, they spent 14 hours a week on child care, up from 10 hours a week in 1965. Dads, too, are spending more time on child care. (In addition to caring for their children, 12% of parents are also providing unpaid care for an adult. Among these parents, moms spend more time than dads on caregiving activities.)

Answers

Answer:

c - parallelism is used in the first two lines

Parallelism is used in the first two lines. Hence, option C is appropriate.

What is the meaning of Parallelism?

In grammar, parallelism, sometimes referred to as parallel structure or parallel construction, is the distribution of comparable phrases or clauses with the same grammatical structure inside one or more sentences. The use of parallelism has an impact on readability and could make writings simpler to comprehend.

To emphasize related ideas in a sentence, parallelism is the use of comparable words, clauses, phrases, sentence structure, or even other grammatical characteristics. It makes the statement succinct, understandable, and simple to read. Particularly in series, pairs, particularly items in an outline or list, parallel structuring is crucial.

The repeating of a specific grammatical pattern within a phrase is known as a parallelism structure. You establish a parallel structure in your phrase by having each comparison or notion adhere to the same grammatical pattern.

Hence, option C is correct.
