Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865; Speeches, addresses, etc., American
7. What does Roosevelt say was the most wonderful thing about Lincoln?
8. Memorize “As the years roll by,” etc.
9. Read carefully the first paragraph of Wilson’s address. Put in your
own words his argument based on the phrase “Every man can see how it
demonstrates the vigor of democracy.”
10. Continuing the same idea, what does Wilson say is “the sacred
mystery of democracy”?
11. Explain the phrase “He walked serenely to his death.”
12. The paragraph beginning “I have read many biographies of Lincoln”
is very beautiful, and very difficult. Attempt to put the thought of
the paragraph into your own words, rewriting as many times as you find
it necessary.
13. Notice that both orators point out that the contemplation of
Lincoln’s life leads to better citizenship. Expand this idea in your
own words.
