Answer:

The short story "Was It a Dream" deals with the theme of illusion against reality. When the narrator spems the night at the cementary, he sees how the dead rise from their tombs to changed the false and hypocritical engraving on their stones. The narrator's lover, whose stone said ‘She loved, was loved, and died,’ changed it for: ‘Having gone out one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold in the rain and died.’”

This shows how people show themselves differently than they really are. And, at the same time, people tend to glorify or even sanctify others, specially after they died, and present to society as something they are or were not.

Effectus [21]

Lincoln's message in his Gettysburg Address was that the best way for the living to remember the war dead is to keep fighting for the causes that their lives were sacrificed for, rather than making speeches in their honor.

<h3>What was Abraham Lincoln's message in "The Gettysburg Address"? </h3>
  • In 1863, at the dedication and consecration of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Abraham Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address.
  • Lincoln focusses his address on the ongoing Civil War, referencing the country's creation "four score and seven years ago" before stating that the conflict is an effort to maintain the country's status as a republic (and possibly the existence of America itself).
  • Lincoln explains that the dead have already consecrated the battlefield via their deeds, not them (the living) who cannot do so with their words.
  • Lincoln argues that it is the responsibility of the living to carry on the battle started by the dead so that "these dead shall not have perished in vain" and so that the government "of the people, by the people, for the people shall not disappear from the earth."
