Answer:

“Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that ‘all men are created equal.’”

Explanation:

Here Lincoln is using Allusion, which is a reference to a time/event, person, place, or piece of literature that the author or speaker deems relevant to what they're talking about. Lincoln is using a double allusion, he is referencing a specific time and event and a group of people: the creation of the new nation by our founding fathers. He also references the Declaration of Independence by stating "all men are created equal."

Why did Maniac angrily paint over the 101 on the band shell door?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

It's not astonishing that he turns out to be so appended to the band shell, regardless of whether it is only an unassuming baseball gear room. As this is Maniac's new home, he needs to make everything quite unattractive, so he paints the number 101 outside the entryway and calls the spot "101 Band Shell Boulevard."

Lord of the Flies<br> How did Ralph react when he find out jacks plan? chapter 12
Gennadij [26K]
After Ralph’s tense, exciting stand against the hunters, the ending of Lord of the Flies is rife with irony. Ralph had thought the signal fire—a symbol of civilization—was the only way to lure rescuers to the island. Ironically, although it is indeed a fire that lures a ship to the island, it is not an ordered, controlled signal fire but rather the haphazard forest fire Jack’s hunters set solely for the purpose of killing Ralph.
