The Lincoln–Douglas debates (also known as The Great Debates of 1858) were a series of seven debates between Abraham Lincoln, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate from Illinois, and incumbent Senator Stephen Douglas, the Democratic Party candidate. At the time, U.S. senators were elected by state legislatures; thus Lincoln and Douglas were trying for their respective parties to win control of the Illinois General Assembly. The debates previewed the issues that Lincoln would face in the aftermath of his victory in the 1860 presidential election. Although Illinois was a free state, the main issue discussed in all seven debates was slavery in the United States.

In the poem shoulders what is the poet trying to teach us about society?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: The poem "Shoulders," by Naomi Shihab Nye reflects on our lives today.

Explanation: In the poem, Nye tells us about a man crossing a street in the rain with a young child he is carrying.He must use caution crossing the street. He must caution to avoid the raindrops, all the while looking, listening and caring for the child he is carrying. The symbolism of course is, that we are that person carrying the child, and it is our responsibility to do all we can to care for, nurture and protect that child because our society is such today that there are many raindrops, puddles and speeding autos we need to avoid, not in the literal sense but certainly figuratively. In this time of pandemic, the message could not be clearer-we need to care for one another. We need to take care of one another, because we are all in this together.
