Answer 1

The Gettysburg Address

"Fourscore 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 cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot 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 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."

From the Richmond Examiner
"Kings are usually made to speak in the magniloquent language supposed to be suited to their elevated position. On the present occasion, Lincoln acted the clown."

Write an essay of at least two to three paragraphs analyzing this newspaper remark from the Richmond Examiner. Use specific quotations from the Gettysburg Address to support or refute the newspaper�s claim.

Answer 4

Okay so basically what your going to want to write about is how the writing is feels about the speech because he made a newspaper article on it so he must feel strongly on it right?
So how do you think he feels?

Answer 5

Answer 6

I was getting to that. Since you have to write 2-3 paragraphs you should includes how he feels with quotations. Whether you agree of disagree is up to you not me.

Answer 10

is this right
The writer form the "Richmond Examiner" states that "Kings are usually made to speak in the magniloquent language supposed to be suited to their elevated position. On the present occasion, Lincoln acted the clown." Firstly this means that people that were in a high social or political standing such as Lincoln were supposed to speak as such giving long speeches using large complex words and grammar. However, Lincoln spoke in common language so that everyone could understand and gave a short speech stating the importance and gravity of the situation. "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." Lincoln took very little time to address something highly important and tragic instead of drawing it out he got straight to his point and it was better than any long fancy speech anyone could have written. This resulting in the statement that "On the present occasion, Lincoln acted the clown."

Secondly the "Richmond Examiner" writer said "On the present occasion, Lincoln acted the clown." The writer meaning that Lincoln made a fool of himself because of his speech. The speech was simple and easy to comprehend not at all like speeches of others in equivalent standings. Lincoln made sure that anyone could understand what he was saying not just the highly educated, this war involved everyone therefore everyone deserved to hear this speech. Lincoln stated "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....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." Lincoln made a fool of himself in some peoples eyes so that everyone would know that even though this war has brought great misery we can get through it together as a nation. For that I would have to disagree that "Lincoln acted the clown" in my opinion he was anything but.

Answer 11

can i see what u wrote and the claim as a example please
that is right or no i got it from google

Answer 12

It's not that hard, you just aren't thinking clearly.

Write two paragraphs:

Paragraph 1: Write about how he feels, why you think he feels this way,prove that with quotations from passage. Remember that a paragraph is only really 5 sentences.

Paragraph 2: Write about if you AGREE or DISAGREE. Express your feelings dramatically to get your point straight. Use quotations here to support how you feel. To be honest it will be easier for you choose to disagree with this newspaper claim because there is not much to support with what this guy is saying about "being a clown".

Answer 13

Does this make sense? You realize I can't write your essay for you or else you will fail for cheating.

Answer 14

Jose this assignment isn't hard what is it about it that you don't understand?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

Ii did this test I got a 100, basically the Richmond Examiner is bashing Abe Lincoln cause he thinks Lincoln is like the King of England, and should have an impeccable speech that blows everybody out of the water. But because Abraham Lincoln was not born into royalty and did not have high-paid tutors, the Richmond Examiner thought he was terrible at giving speeches. The words that he used in his review of The Gettysburg Address was meant to hurt our country.
