Compare and contrast Lincoln’s and Obama’s speeches

English
1 answer:
STatiana [176]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Participles are sometimes confused with verbs because they
Gekata [30.6K]

Participles are sometimes confused with verbs because they are made up of:

1) verb +  –ing form . This is called PRESENT PARTICIPLE and it has the function of an adjective (not a verb)

Example:  The singing bird is beautiful. The word “singing” modifies the noun “bird” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The bird that sings is beautiful.”

2) Verb+ ed / past participle form. This is called PAST PARTICIPLE and it has also the function of an adjective as it provides information or qualities of a noun.

Example: The wounded dog was crying all night. The word “wounded” modifies the noun “dog” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The dog which was wounded was crying all night”

Is the following sentence missing one or more commas? If it is, where?: The lions waited in the tall grass as the gazelles graze
fiasKO [112]
I do not believe a comma is necessary in this sentence at all. In fact, if you were to insert a comma after the word grazed (as you maybe tempted to do) it could change the meaning of the sentence.  If you meant the lions were oblivious of the presence of the gazelles, you would insert a comma after grazed. But if you meant the gazelles were oblivious of the presence of the lions, you would leave the comma out.
