This means that he believes that the Civil War will fix our issue with being divided. His formal language changes his tone to being very powerful and convincing.  He also said that "A house divided cannot stand.", this is true because if a house were cut in half, it would be impossible for it to stand against the pull of gravity. In his speech "House Divided" he even said "I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free."]]> 2019-04-09 18:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350078564 https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350078701 The tone effect the speech because his  confidence and persuasion effect the way people think of his opinion on slavery. In the text it states " Either the oppononets of slavery, will arrest a further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction" This shows that he has a strong opinion against slavery and wants both the North and South states to agree that slavery should not exsist and people should be able to live a free life just like everybody else.]]> 2019-04-09 18:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350078701 https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350078790 The tone of this speech is as if to show that he believes truly in what he says. Lincoln states " Either the opponents of slavery, will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction." Or itn states that we will send slavery into it's own destruction.]]> 2019-04-09 18:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350078790 https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350078944 The use of formal language on this speech strengthens his argument because more people take him seriously. In his speech, he says, "I do not expect the Union to be dissolved-I do not expect the house to fall-but I do expect it will cease to be divided." With this language used, he gets his direct opinion across, and makes it sound more sophisticated and trustworthy. In conclusion, this is how using formal language can make a speech sound better.]]> 2019-04-09 18:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350078944 https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350078951 2019-04-09 18:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350078951 https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350079109 The effect of the language on the tone had made him sound confident. Abraham Lincoln had said, "We shall not fail-if we stand firm, we shall not fail." (House Divided Speech, p.17). He had felt confident about the result of the choices of the Union that involved slavery.]]> 2019-04-09 18:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350079109 https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350079144 In the text Abraham Lincoln said "in my opinion, it will not cease,until a crisis shall have been reached, and passes." So Lincoln thinks the war will solve their problems.(the division in the states.) So we disagree with slavery and think the war was necessary because violence may not always be the answer but in this state is was and was very necessary.]]> 2019-04-09 18:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350079144 https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350079160 The tone from Abraham Lincoln was strong and confident.

(p.12) He wanted people to trust him with what he said. ]]> 2019-04-09 18:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350079160 https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350079310 This picture explains, the beginning of Abraham Lincoln's House Divided Speech.

This statement uses descriptive vocabulary. The vocab helps to make the speech sound proper and serious. So, as a reader we can assume that his quote explains that act proposed by the government is only tearing it apart even more.]]> 2019-04-09 18:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350081478 0070176884 https://padlet.com/cdelgado16/7ux382xw1aij/wish/350082517 The way he talks makes him sound educated and high class.
