Hey there!

This speech is known as the Gettysberg Address. Delivered by President Abraham Lincoln, it's one of the most famous speeches in American history.

The outcome that Lincoln would like to see is conceived in the line "that here we highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain". This is because he's resolving and solving something with this speech. After delivering it, he hoped to honor those who died in the Civil War and say that they did not die in vain. By the end of the speech, that's one of the main messages he wanted to be delivered- and that was his goal among other points.

Hope this helps!

How is there some sort of karmic retribution in the world? Explain in 5 sentences.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The following is adapted from An Introduction to Buddhism, which serves as study material for the SGI-USA Introductory Exam offered annually in October.

In the course of practicing Buddhism and working for kosen-rufu, we will inevitably face obstacles, negative influences and functions that attempt to block our way or interfere with our efforts.

Nichiren Daishonin taught that to encounter such opposition is in fact a benefit. That is because by meeting and winning over difficulties, we naturally carry out the process of “lessening our karmic retribution.” The characters for the Japanese phrase tenju kyoju, often translated as “lessening one’s karmic retribution,” can literally be read “transforming the heavy and receiving it lightly.” Left alone, the bad causes we have accumulated over many lifetimes reveal themselves as miserable results in this and future lifetimes. But through the benefit of devoting ourselves and leading others to the Mystic Law, the heavy consequences of our karma can quickly be lightened.

If you were a Roman listening to Brutus and Mark Antony, whose speech would have swayed you more?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Mark Antony's speech would sway me more.

Explanation:

Brutus and Mark Antony are characters in Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar". Brutus, Cassius, and others have betrayed and killed Caesar, the emperor of Rome. During Caesar's funeral, Brutus gives a speech. He is a good and skilled speaker, but his speech lacks emotion. It shows, instead, quite an egotistic attitude, as if he felt superior to Caesar:

As Caesar

loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at

it; as he was valiant, I honor him; but as he was ambitious,

I slew him.

On the other hand, Mark Antony's speech is filled with emotion. He truly honors Caesar, his friend and emperor. Mark Antony's also a skilled speaker and wittily shows the crowd that Brutus and Cassius are not good men. Even though he calls them "honourable", he does so ironically. He is skillfully revealing what he truly thinks of those noble men, yet not so blatantly as to expose his loyalty to Caesar to the point of getting himself killed. His speech would have swayed me because of his cleverness and subtlety, as well as his emotion:

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

[...]

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And, sure, he is an honourable man.

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,

But here I am to speak what I do know.

You all did love him once, not without cause:

What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?

O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,

And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;

My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,

And I must pause till it come back to me.

What should you focus when proofreading

Leviafan [203]

One of the most important things that you should focus on whilst proofreading a biography or essay is conventions.

I do not mean the place "conventions", another meaning of convention would be: correct spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar in writing terms.

So when you, or the audience could read your biography or essay, they do not have to pause or linger on your "typo" or spelling/grammatical mistake, instead read your passage fluently.
