What is Lincoln’s use of figurative language in the gettysburg address?

English
1 answer:
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
3 0

1. “The Gettysburg Address” by Abraham Lincoln is remarkable through the use of rhetorical devices like allusion, antithesis, and tricolon.

2.This is a simile because MLK Jr. is comparing Justice rolling down LIKE water. He is also comparing righteousness like a mighty stream.

The impact of figurative language is to show the idea that everyone should be free.

The figurative language gives visual picture on what desegregation would look like.

Figurative Language in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Speech

"Let Freedom Ring"

"Let freedom ring" is a repetition because "Let freedom ring" is repeated throughout the speech.

In Loving Memory:

This means that Justice will be like a mighty stream and will be everywhere.

"Let Freedom Ring" means let freedom be everywhere.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Pleasant.

Explanation:

Not sure if that really counts as a response, but thats how I felt when I had to read this book a few months ago for school. I found it a nice ending for the book. It didn't feel like a cliffhanger, yet still gave the reader things to think about in regards to the plot and symbolism (seasons) of the novel and how it all tied together.

Agata [3.3K]

It can be inferred that the speaker refers to the "voice of my education" and "voices in me" because:

He wanted to show the conflict between two ideas going on inside him.

<h3>What is a conflict?</h3>

A conflict in literature is a struggle between two ideas or two positions that are at variance with each other.

The voices of education mostly highlighted the need to follow societal expectations while the voice in him stood for the need for self-preservation.

The influence of Greek tragedy as filtered through Seneca can still be seen in modern plays, movies, and literature. Select a pl
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Let's take one of the most influential and popular novels of the 21st century - George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire". This work is all the more appropriate to showcase the influence of Greek, Senecan and Elizabethan tragedies since the series have been turned into a critically acclaimed TV show.

Explanation:

These epic fantasy novels deal with a noble family, which is one of the prerequisites of all three types of tragedy we are dealing with here. Furthermore, many of the protagonists from the Stark family are the so-called "flawed heroes" - well-intended and principled people who often end up stranded (or dead) because of their terrible mistakes or oversights.

<u>One notable example of a tragic hero is the head of the family, Eddard Stark.</u> He is an honorable man who ends up betrayed and executed because he took part in the dangerous game of thrones yet refused to play by the dirty rules that would help him save his head and family. In a way, he would have his cake and eat it, which is of course impossible. Ultimately, his great pride and self-righteousness border on <u>hubris</u>, leading him to think that his perspective is the only right one.

There is also <u>Arya's complex and elaborate revenge</u> that's been carefully plotted throughout multiple volumes of the work. Having survived all the family turmoil, she embarks on a personal journey that will be anything but your conventional coming-of-age story. She will learn to fight, survive, and kill her enemies with great skill and imagination. Her bloodthirstiness is a true Senecan feature.

On the other hand, there are <u>Bran's prophetic dreams</u> about the Three-Eyed Raven. Through them, he gradually learns who he really is and how he can overcome his physical disability. These dreams are not just about his own predicament though. They also provide him with an insight into the terrible challenge the whole humanity is facing. Of course, these dreams are not using plain language but symbols and metaphors - just like the Delphi oracle in Greek tragedies.
