Lincoln’s "The Gettysburg Address."


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 this earth.

Whitman’s "O Captain! My Captain!".

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

How does “The Gettysburg Address” and “O Captain! My Captain!” compare in their use of pathos (the use of emotional appeals to affect the audience’s feelings)?

Neither the speech nor poem rely on the use of pathos.
Both the speech and poem are equal when it comes to the use of pathos.
The poem relies more on pathos than the speech does.
The speech relies more on pathos than the poem does.

Act 3
How does Duncan reward Macbeth for his bravery in defeating the rebels? Comment on the order in which Duncan announces it and Macbeth finds it out.
How does Lady Macbeth react when her husband sees (or believes he sees) Banquo's ghost? What similar thing does she recall? (Macbeth has not told her of this in the dialogue of the play, so we must suppose he has told her between scenes.)
What does Macbeth mean when he says, “We are yet but young in deed”? (Act 3, scene 4) What does this suggest about his future conduct?
Who or what is Hecate and what does she think of the witches' involvement with Macbeth?
What is Hecate's strategy for Macbeth? Comment on the way the audience learns of this before he does.
In Act 3, scene 6, Lennox comments on Macbeth's actions. In your own words, try to explain what he says directly and what he really thinks or hints at. Why might he not want to say directly what is really in his mind?

April Fools' Day is celebrated around the world, although it varies somewhat from country to country. In the United States, for example, it's a day to play practical jokes. In France, where the holiday is known as Poisson d'Avril, or April Fish, people secretly tape paper fish on their friends' backs. A common April Fools' prank in Portugal is to throw flour on someone; in Scotland, the most popular trick involves sending someone on a useless errand. Denmark celebrates April Fools' Day on April 1, but some people there celebrate again in May. Maj-kat, on May 1, is yet another day for jokes and pranks in the spring.

Intelligent Assistant: Google Now Beats Siri

Adapted from “Is Android or iPhone the Better Smartphone?” by Sam Costello.
www.lifewire.com. April 20, 2017

Artificial intelligence will be a very important feature of what smartphones can do in
the near future. In terms of artificial intelligence, Android has a clear lead.
The most popular artificial intelligence/intelligent assistant system on Android in
Google Now. It is extremely powerful. It uses everything Google knows about you and
the world to make life easier for you. For instance, if your Google Calendar knows that
your parents are picking you up from school at 3:30 and that traffic is terrible, Google
Now can send your parents a notification telling them to leave early.
Siri is Apple's answer to Google Now for artificial intelligence. It's improving all the
time with each new iOS release, but it's still limited to fairly simple tasks when
compared to Google Now.
