Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address - What Is ...

His tone toward slavery?
His audience?
His syntax?
How did his use of these devices affect his purpose?
In your opinion, was his speech successful in achieving its purpose?

Answer:

Four score1 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 war2

, 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 consecrate3

—we

can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who

struggled here, have consecrated it, far 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 far 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 vain4

—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.

Sharks' Teeth
By Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.
