Explanation: Lincoln's Gettysburg address is considered as one of the most influencing speeches in the history of the United States of America. It occurred almost 5 months after the Union defeated The Confederacy in the Civil War.
In this speech, Lincoln clearly makes a stance on his position regarding slavery, stating that the United States was a nation "conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men were created equal.
Lincoln focuses on Pathos. A technique used to appeal to the peoples´ emotions. During his speech, he mentions all of the soldiers who died during the wars up until now and urges the people to honor them by pursuing the goal of a nation where all men are free, regardless of their origins.
In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln subtly addressed his audience's possible rejection of his ideas. He does this through the rhetorical device of pathos.
Explanation:
In spite of the great war being fought between the North and the South, and the huge emphasis on the issue of slavery, there were still those, even in the North, who found nothing wrong with owning slaves. Lincoln addresses this right away with his statement that "all men are created equal." This was an appeal to human emotion, or pathos, specifically to one's love for his fellow men. His reference to the creation of man here also alludes to the Creator God, Who, in fact, DID create all men equally. It is likely that most, if not all, of those present on the field that day at least claimed some form of belief in God. Given this, how could they argue with the Biblical fact that God created all men equally, which is so clearly in opposition to slavery?
The answer is options: A, kindship and B, religion.
Characterization is a literary device in which the characters and their motives are described in detail in the story. In the excerpt from "Things Fall Apart," the author Chinua Achebe uses characterization to develop the themes of kinship and religion. First, Nwoye leaves his father happily and will later go back with his mother and sisters, who he will convert to Chistianity.
