What strategy lies behind the use of this quotation? B. Using a quotation by this respected president would link Jordan's words to the much revered President Lincoln's words in the minds of the listeners, giving her credibility. The quotation gives her speech validity.

(...) Well I am going to close my speech by quoting a Republican President and I ask you that as you listen to these words of Abraham Lincoln, relate them to the concept of a national community in which every last one of us participates:

<em>Barbara Jordan was a politician (feminist) and leader of the black civil rights movement in the United States.</em>

"Each relates an anecdote to appeal to the reader's emotions."

They are similar insofar that they use the same tenses, that is the past simple tense, and short clear sentences that tell of a story in the past. The style is simple with few adjectives and not that many clauses or phrases. This kind of a style was made popular by Ernest Hemingway, but others wrote like it too, like the paragraphs here.

Then later that night, once again ghost had come to them. The ghost wants Hamlet. His friends tried to stop him from follow the ghost but he resist to find out what the ghost want from him. Hamlet just find out that ghost is actually his father! And what's more disturbing is that Hamlet's father was murdered by his brother, King Claudius! Hamlet swears to his father that he'll get his revenge for him. Now we (the audience) know now that the ghost is really Hamlet's father who've been killed. But Horatio, Barnardo, and Marcellus don't know who the ghost really is. I hope this helps.
