Read Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address:
nation, concelved In Liberty, and dedicated to the
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new
proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged In a great clvil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so concelved and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here
gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, In a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor or power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say
here, but It can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It Is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these
honored dead we take Increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the
people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

[1] nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas. tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the sierras and coastwise hills. the yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. after its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. but it isn't always this way. before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap. the indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? . to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant to emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are to explain when and where the plant grows to show how afraid the author is of the plant
