60 pointsin your own words, explain what this quote means and why lincoln includes it in his gettysburg address: "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 power to add or detract."

I think what Mr. Lincoln is trying to say that they cannot dedicate that ground to the men who have fought because by fighting with everything they had they already had consecrated that land for themselves by showing that they fought with bravery.

I think he included it in the Gettysburg Address to show the significance of how brave soldiers are when they had fought in the civil war.

Hope this helps!

explanation: in "the nose"   by nikolai gogol, the author sets up a satirical view of russian society. the book is divided into three parts and tells the story of collegiate assessor ('major') kovalyov, who gets up one morning without his nose. he later finds out that his nose has developed a life by itself, and has apparently surpassed him by attaining the rank of state councillor. the short story showcases the obsession with social rank that plagued russia after peter the great introduced the table of ranks. by allowing commoners to attain hereditary nobility through service to the state, a large population was given the chance to move up in social status. this opportunity, however, also gave way to large bureaucracies, in which many of gogol's characters worked.
