In "The Gettysburg Address," why does Lincoln say that he and the observers "cannot consecrate . . . This ground"? What best describes what he is trying to imply about both himself and his listeners?

Lincoln implies the fact that they (he and the observers) cannot do much to make sacred or dedicate the fields of battles of the civil war (American civil war), to those living or dead that fought for the retention of the United states as a single country.

Explanation:

Lincoln at the Gettysburg Address, meant to dedicate a portion of the fields of battle as a final resting-place for those who gave their lives, and those who fought for the nation, was trying to point out the fact that even as much as they try to dedicate these fields in memory of those who fought, and those who died for America in the war, the mere sacrifice of these people alone has made these fields more sacred than they can try to make these fields.

obama was told in early july 2004 that he was chosen to deliver the address, and he largely wrote the speech himself, with later edits from the kerry presidential campaign.

answer: buck is a dog living a charmed life on the estate of judge miller, during the time of the klondike gold rush in 1897. he is the king of all the animals on the estate and as such enjoys special privileges, such as the run of the estate and the admirable position of being the judge's favorite dog.

this all ends the day he accompanies manuel on a walk through the orchard to a flag station, where manuel sells him to a stranger. manuel sells buck, because he has gambling debts he needs to pay and a family to support.

this one act changes buck's life irrevocably. it is the catalyst for the rest of the story about buck and his transformation from domestic pet to wild animal.
