Answer:

During his Second Inaugural Address, Abraham Lincoln, a self-taught lawyer, legislator, and vocal opponent of the 16th President of the United States, delivered a speech. This speech was intended to reflect on the never-ending Civil War and to look forward to peace. He used God as a witness as one of his strategies for this reasoning.

Barack Obama, the first African-American president, gave his speech entitled "A More Perfect Union." The goal of this speech was to bring attention to the racism that exists between African Americans and white people. "Yet, words on a parchment would not be enough to free slaves or provide men and women of every race and creed with their full rights and responsibilities as citizens of the United States."

The speeches are all about the same thing: racism against African Americans and how we, as a society, can put an end to it. These two speeches emphasize the importance of cooperation and community in terms of values and persuasive strategies. Both of these speakers want to put an end to racism, so they employ pathos as a rhetorical device when speaking to their audience about it.

Which statement best describes how the structure of these excerpts helps to develop the themes? The refrains of "An Irish Airman

marishachu [46]

In my opinion, the correct answer is D: Both the parallel structure in the excerpt of "An Irish Airman Foresees His Own Death" and the repetition in the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night" emphasize the inevitability of death.

The main point of both poems is that death is inevitable. However, in Yates' poem, the airman willingly faces death, because of an inner impulse that he finds hard to describe. In this excerpt, he tells us that he is more or less indifferent toward those who are below, on Earth. He is interested in death itself, as a dark phenomenon that haunts him. On the other hand, in Thomas' poem, the inevitability of death is human tragic destiny. We should cling to life as best we can precisely because death is inevitable. These two poems have the same topic, but opposite directions of thought: Yates' speaker goes to meet death, embracing it, whereas Thomas' speaker encourages his dying father to try and postpone death, if possible.
