A Narrative On A Hero's Journey

History class to many falls as a boring lesson, memorizing facts nobody will use in life. The day America got it’s independence, the dates of the end of World War 1 and 2. These facts may seem useless, but behind each one, their is a story with so many valiant people, a story with people who must be forever condemned, and facts that we can always use. In the book, Chasing Lincoln’s Killer, written by James L. Swanson, there is one such story about the death of Abraham Lincoln and the manhunt that followed. What is really important about this story is that there are heroes, who should be remembered, and attackers whose actions must always be condemned. Most importantly, this book shows how many people worked together in order to catch the escapees

Abraham Lincoln was one of the key leaders that had determined the outcome of the Civil War. Despite his inadequacy with being a commander in chief of the Union, his job as a self taught lawyer permitted him to learn more quickly. He had read many different pieces and books about war and different strategies to better understand how to be a good war leader. He had patience, approached situations with caution (McPherson). Being the timid and soft spoken man that he was, most of his ideas given to military generals had been ‘brushed off’. Lincoln then found himself at a turning point. He started to take a more of a firm, assertive approach. After Lincoln’s adjustment in his style of leadership, The Union had a streak of victories, most prominently at the Battle of Vicksburg and Battle of Gettysburg, Gettysburg marking the turning point of the war.

Safire does not want us to “listen to only Lincoln’s famous words and comforting cadences” (43). Instead he wants us to remember the message Lincoln was giving to us, he wants us to appreciate the deceased and the missing, and wants to remind us that “this generation’s response to the deaths of thousands of our people leads to ‘a new birth of freedom” (Safire 43).

Sixteenth president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, in his speech, the Gettysburg Address, delivered after the battle of Gettysburg speaks solemnly of the soldiers who perished in the strife. Not just of the of the North, but the South as well. Lincoln’s purpose is to reflect upon the battle and demonstrate amongst the American public that it is their civil duty to not let these soldiers die in vain. More specifically, he stresses the issue for the nation to still stand and “not perish from the earth.” Lincoln adopts a sentimentally passionate tone in order to emphasize the gravity of the situation from the fifty-thousand who died in the battle. President Lincoln, in his address, utilizes the syntactic use of parallelism and further elaborates his purpose through use of appeals to authority.

Lincoln opens up his speech to the men who not only fought for their lives but the fallen men who gave up their life to make a free nation. He acknowledged the men for their dedication and “abolition of slavery on the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War”. Uses emotional appeals to the audience by building his speech upon the “the past, present, and future.” Giving hard evidence that without question this fight was more than the opportunity to rebuild a nation, but a fight for equal rights for men. Using Jefferson’s words in the Declaration of Independence “all men are created equal”. He engages the men who gave up their lives to make a difference. Touching on the emotional effects they had to encounter, the fear, and desire to fight for their lives to make the present and future better for everybody. He instilled the great task

Although they didn’t do much research on this trail, they were thrilled for the trip ahead.

Sam was walking home from the Morrisville Market with a full bag of groceries. The sun was hot and no clouds were in sight. He smelled the fresh bread being baked in the shops.

Lincoln was known for writing all of his speeches and was good at using persuasive techniques. For this speech he mostly used pathos to emotionally inspire his troops. In the speech he talked about the fallen troops and that is a good way to persuade because by then most soldiers there had fought in other battles and have seen many soldiers die in a battle. Soldiers go through a lot of terrible

Lincoln connects with his audience with a vulnerable tone as he reassures his audiences, saying that they, “have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives”. He then interchanges tones and addresses his audience, proclaiming that, “we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground” (Lincoln). Lincoln uses both sentences as a way to console and once again reinforce the people’s emotions, keeping their spirits high. More specifically Lincoln uses repetition in order to remind his audience that their comrades, who fought and perished, performed above and beyond their call to arms and, that the living, are unable to honor their brothers’ in arms more than the desire for victory has itself. This has a profound effect on Lincoln’s audience as it shows them that while their grief is justified so is cause for great
