Not only a proficient politician, but also an amazing rhetorician, Lincoln is the author of some of the most memorable speeches and letters in the American history such as: the Gettysburg Address, Emancipation Proclamation, his first and second Inaugural Addresses and so on. His distinct writing style has a restrained, legalistic, calmed tone and most importantly, passive. David Herbert Donald, an American historian, two times Pulitzer Prize winner and best known for his biography of Abraham Lincoln, argues mainly about this aspect of Lincoln’s rhetoric.…

    intelligent words to gain attention of listeners. “... and force everybody to see that there are thirteen hundred of God's children here suffering.” The amount imagery this quote gives to listeners is incredibly amazing.

    After almost one-hundred and eighty days, the 2015-2016 school year is approaching an end. So far, I have concluded that middle school is basically like building a house. Before middle school started, in fifth grade, the house only had the boards and the main skeleton of the whole structure. All of the basics are learned in elementary school: learning how to read, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, fractions, the founding of America,, etcetera, but by the time students reach sixth grade, new knowledge builds onto what is already known. Letters are added into the familiar math equations; stories are written with all of the reading and grammar knowledge; unfamiliar people, wars, and awakenings add onto the history of America.…

    MLK’S speech “I Have A Dream” is unsurpassed as it contains raw emotion. Dr.King states, “This is our hope. This is the faith I go back to the south with”. In this excerpt, King discusses how they are all united in this cause and how he goes through the same struggle that the people being victimized are dealing with every day and that he knows their experiences.

I was doing the appearance via Skype, which doesn't allow me to see the faces of those I am speaking with.
