Project description
The following artifacts, Abrahams Lincolns Second Inaugural Address and Emily Dickinsons poem Success Is Counted Sweetest, were written at about the same time, and each is written with reference to the Civil War. The two pieces are often held to represent two different types of discourse: Lincolns address is categorized as rhetoric, while Dickinsons work fits best into the category of poetry. Thinking back on the characteristics of rhetorical discourse discussed in this chapter, what case could be made, if any, for distinguishing Lincolns work from Dickinsons? Do they belong in different literary categories? Refer back to the resources of language argument, appeal, arrangement, and artistic devices in thinking about these two pieces. Does each employ all four resources? Write 3-4 Page essay.
