In the House Divided Speech, Abraham Lincoln wrote about an issue that he felt strongly about and that was very important to him

. Write a short speech (150 words) about a topic that is important to you, using specific word choice to convey tone (author's attitude). Choose an informational text structure (ex. problem/solution, cause/effect) that helps communicate and develop your ideas clearly. In your speech, include an allusion or image that you think conveys the situation in a powerful and memorable way. (ex. Lincoln alluding to Jesus in his House Divided speech) Make it your goal to persuade your audience to accept your point of view.

Answer:

In his “house divided” speech, Lincoln countered that the Dred Scott decision the previous year had already opened the doors for slavery to be legal in the north, as well as all territories that the U.S. expanded into. If the U.S. wanted to be a free country, he argued, it had to act now before it was too late.

I paragraph is fully developed when
Mashcka [7]
A paragraph is a collection of related sentences dealing with a single topic. Learning to write good paragraphs will help you as a writer stay on track during your drafting and revision stages. Good paragraphing also greatly assists your readers in following a piece of writing. You can have fantastic ideas, but if those ideas aren't presented in an organized fashion, you will lose your readers (and fail to achieve your goals in writing).

In writing the play Julius Caesar, Shakespeare drew from historical events
nataly862011 [7]

The correct answer is: and embellished on the event details.

Indeed, one instance is the assassination of Caesar. In the play, it takes place in the Senate Capitol, which is of course a very symbolic area. However, in real life it was carried out at the Theater of Pompey. Real life is even more symbolic since many of the conspirators had been close to late Pompey and the choosing of such place to murder Caesar was also an act of revenge. Also, Caesar was stabbed 23 times in real life and 33 times in the play; no doubt for dramatic purposes. Finally, in real life Caesar never uttered the words “Et tu Brute? (you also, Brutus)?”.

Why is the Declaration of Independence still used today as the basis of aruguments? Is it a moral judgement? Is so can you pleas
VARVARA [1.3K]
The Declaration of Independence is still used as an argument today because it makes several statements about equality and morality that are the basis for much of modern society. The section that most people will remember, the part that states that all people deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is still applicable today.

Just to list an example of one way that the Declaration of Independence can be used as an argument, the aforementioned section can easily be used to justify equality. If everyone deserves to be able to live happily, doesn't that mean everyone, including people of different genders, races, and nationalities? This excerpt is from Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech:
"<span>In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

The Declaration of Independence can be used as a moral argument. Morally, most Americans believe that everyone deserves the same rights and treatment regardless of their background. It cannot be objectively stated that everyone deserves the same chance at life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but most people will agree that this is true because of their morals.

Hope this helps!</span>
