The Gettysburg Adress

1. Abraham Lincoln doesn't really mention anything about the people who were fighting. He doesn't provide any preference as to who they are and what they look like. He doesn't give any details.

2. The purpose of this last sentence is that Lincoln fears that respect should be given to the men that fought for the "freedom" of their country.  The literary tool that he uses to persuade the people was pathos.  He uses emotion to establish the fact the people the people that died didn't have to give their lives for the sake of others.  Lincoln evokes an emotion of sorrow. He pushes them towards fighting harder and not letting all the hard work of the deaceased go to waste. If I was to add something to the sentence it would be "... But they shall live on forever and forever more.

3. Well, both the documents were written to establish freedom for the Americans. The similarities between abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson is that they both explain and justify how their ideas are the best and why everyone should believe them and not everybody else.  The Declaration of Independence had more of a serious tone and strict tone.  It was basically attacking the king. The Gettysburg Address is more persuasive and way more softer and acceptable of people and their decisions.

4. The speeches that I've heard can compare to the Gettysburg Address in the sense that they use pathos and ethos to prove their point. They also use facts to back up their points ans arguments
