My reaction to this quote is that Abraham Lincoln is referring to the ideal that once people have power they tend to abuse it for their advantage, and personal gain. For Example, gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of the county sizing and grouping in states by the Legislative branch to guarantee their reelection into federal or state offices. A typically Democratic city perhaps may be grouped or redrawn to conjoin with a vastly Republican populated area, creating a larger group of supporters of one party, and a polarized county.
I don’t think you need a comma after old
August's main conflict is internal conflict. All he sees in himself is his defect. He tries to be like every other kid, but people make him feel different when they stare and run away. The external conflict is between August and all of the kids that make fun of him.
Really hope this helps!
