Read these excerpts. lincoln's "gettysburg address." it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. whitman's "o captain! my captain! ". exult, o shores, and ring, o bells! but i, with mournful tread, walk the deck my captain lies, fallen cold and dead. which rhetorical appeal do both excerpts use?

Pathos

Explanation:

The rhetorical appeal that both authors employ in these lines is pathos. Pathos refers to an appeal to emotion. This is employed when an author uses emotional words in order to convince the audience of supporting a particular position. In this example, Lincoln uses words such as "so nobly" in order to persuade the audience of thinking about those who fought at Gettysburg as brave and noble. Moreover, Whitman employs this device when he uses emotional words such as "fallen cold and dead."

the correct order is:

you're your own worst enemy:

they're going to say what they say, but

their opinions aren't holding you

back. it's your self-defeatist

attitude that's keeping your work

from getting its due.
