1.it was a bright sunny day in April,and the clocks were striking thirteen

This is the narrative hook. A narrative hook occurs at the beginning of a passage to get the reader interested in the rest of the story. In this hook, the speaker begins talking about what seems to be a wonderful great day. Then the reader is hit with the fact that the clocks are striking thirteen. This makes it very different than what the reader is used to. While many people use a 24 hour clock instead of a 12 hour clock, it is usually only in digital form. Therefore, the word striking is not used. Striking is used for a digital clock because the hands move and are said to strike numbers. It is rare to find a 24 hour analog clock in our setting.

That's because the message he wanted to give was fast, clear and didn't need a lot of arguments, because it was evident that it was true.

Lincoln inspired by the principles of equality defended in the Declaration of Independence of the country, declared the end of the war based on the concept that the country was born to be a country of free people and owners of their own lives, the end of the war allowed freedom be offered to everyone, as the founding fathers wanted and fought for it. Thus, Lincoln established that the end of the war would bring a nation united in recovery and truly free.
