An Individual's Personal Identity In The Giver And Night

Lincoln was not sharing a story but rather the facts of what the civil war brought, which was dividing the

In Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, he addresses the nation. At the end of the Civil War, both the North and South still had issues with each other. Lincoln’s speech calls both the North and South to put their problems aside that’s preventing them from getting along. In this speech, Lincoln uses tone, diction, and syntax to help reach the purpose of the speech. Lincoln’s tone encourages the Americans to finish the Civil War and the progress as becoming a nation.

In Thomas J. Dilorenzo’s book, The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War, is about Dilorenzo challenging the image of Lincoln by raising questions about Lincoln’s morals and beliefs as president. Dilorenzo attempts to raise arguments that Lincoln’s stance on race was unfair and unjust to the people. Dilorenzo also offers quotes from Lincoln himself, and then argues how Lincoln did not carry out his quote, but in fact, did the opposite. While Dilorenzo makes valid arguments with credible sources; he also has a way of opening a new view of Lincoln to the readers. Dilorenzo’s purpose for writing this book is to discuss the countless myths about Lincoln himself and uncovers the side of Lincoln that was

Lincoln orates, “… and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal”, which reinforces the cause Lincoln is fighting to achieve. He describes how the country successfully untied against a common enemy to gain their freedom, so that the similarities of the situations would strike the audience into action. By associating the present with the past, Lincoln reflects on the progress of the country. He creates a bridge between the successes and failures of the nation, and implies the future

In Abraham Lincoln, by George McGovern, McGovern summarizes and gives insight on one of the United States’ most well-known and highly praised presidents, Abraham Lincoln. McGovern thoroughly outlines Lincoln’s life, his struggles and how he became the great president that he was. One point McGovern continues to mention is how no matter how bad a situation was or even when people doubted Lincoln, he would take his defeats and preserve. In the beginning of the book, McGovern recounts Lincoln’s life as a kid and a young adult. He describes how no matter how bad Lincoln failed or how sad he was, “Lincoln would not resign himself to failure and loss; instead he learned from each experience and carried on” . In addition, McGovern continues to mention how Lincoln never stopped learning. From a young age, Lincoln loved to learn, read and expand his knowledge so he could fully analyze any situation. According to McGovern, this personality trait allowed Lincoln to work and rise up from a farmer’s son to the President of the United States. This trait, also, allowed Lincoln “to take a far more active role in managing military affairs” . Lincoln was able to come up with a new strategy for the Union to win the Civil War.

The novel, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, is an everlasting story that shows the importance of individuality. This novel is about a young boy named Jonas who was elected as the Receiver of Memories, a person who is given the memories from the world that existed before their current society, Sameness. In this society there is no individualism. People can not choose who to marry, or what they want to do for a living. Over time Jonas becomes more and more wise, and realizes that the supposedly perfect community actually has some very dark and negative aspects. The author, Lois Lowry is a 76-year-old writer who focuses her writing on helping struggling teenagers become individuals. Lowry had a very tragic childhood. After both of her parents were

Individuality: Every morning, people wake up and choose their outfit for the day. Imagine living in a utopia where you can’t even pick what color shirt you want to wear. In the novel, The Giver, written by Lois Lowry, it is better for society for everyone to be individuals because it lets people express themselves and brings new ideas to the world. One reason why individuality is necessary in society is that it allows self-expression and gives people a chance to choose who they want to be. An example of this is shown in chapter 13 where Jonas states, “Well.

In addition, Lincoln appeals to the emotions of the audience when he says, “The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully” (48-49). He is presenting the realization that no one is technically getting what they truly desired in the first place. Also Lincoln indicates the surprising effects of War

Imagine living in a society where you have the freedom to do what you want. No one telling you how to live your life and you make your own choices. A democratic society allows for freedom of choice. Living in the democratic society with freedom is better than living in a utopian society because you get to do what you want, pick how you want to live and be free to express yourself.

     This book is about a boy names Jonas. Jonas lives in a futuristic society where there is no pain, fear, war, and hatred. There is also no prejudice, since everyone looks and acts basically the same, there is very little competition. They have also eliminated choice.

I think that Lincoln is saying that men fight well because they know what they are fighting against or for. This is almost a natural instinct for man to fight for what they want or what they believe in. I feel a majority of men handle adversity well in these situations. Men were raised to fight for stuff, not just have it given to them. This is what I feel Lincoln is suggesting about the importance of adversity.

Jonas, from the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, would enjoy and appreciate Cooper in the future, because it provides choice in classes, curriculum, and learning style. The author indirectly characterizes Jonas as rebellious, as this can be seen when Jonas tells The Giver “...I was just thinking: what if we could hold up things that were bright red, or bright yellow, and he [Gabriel] could choose? Instead of Sameness” (Lowry 125-26). He believes that members of the Community should have decisions that they can choose to make. He is not afraid of change. This shows that Jonas disagrees with the ways of the Community. Therefore, the author is portraying him as rebellious. He would appreciate a school that gives students the option to take certain

“I do not hold the equality in all things only with equality before the law,” said by actor Thomas Lee Jones, acted as Republican US Congressman Thaddeus Stevens in the movie Lincoln. This movie, relives President Abraham Lincoln’s last four months in office during the fourth year in the American Civil War (1861-1865). In the last four months in office, Lincoln contributed good for the American society, drastically ruined the human condition in terms of the unified Confederate states, and put an artistic genius at work whom realistically wants us to remember him as man less than a monument.

I took of my tunic once more. I lay down on the cold, hard bed. The gentle touch of The Giver's hand came down at me. This time his hands were not hot nor cold. I then start to see the bright light of the sun come down at me, but a tree lays right in front of the rays of heat blocking the brightness of the light. I start to hear a faint buzz, getting louder as I walk closer to the tree. Out comes a yellow and black striped little flying bug. I finally dig deep enough and suddenly think of a word, bee. I get closer to the bee. It comes right up to me seeking something. It just lays there on my shaking arm as it gets close to my elbow. All of the sudden it flies up in the air, coming down back at my arm like a bullet. A sharp pain goes up and
