What point of view does Lincoln express in this excerpt from the Gettysburg Address?

But in a larger sense 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 power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here. 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. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these
honoured 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, and for the people, shall not perish from this earth.

In a short story, who do the readers relate to as they read the story

Which of the following is an example of deductive reasoning?

Letter to the editor: Proposition Q, a controversial measure on this year’s ballot, would prohibit the ownership of handguns within the city’s limits. Under the plan, gun owners would have a 90-day grace period to turn in their weapons to authorities. Proponents of the proposition argue that fewer handguns on the streets would lead to less violent crime, making the city safer for all of its citizens. Unfortunately, the ban would actually have the opposite effect. Since only law abiding citizens would honor the ban, armed criminals would not only keep their weapons but would also have the confidence to act with impunity on a population that could no longer defend itself.
In the letter to the editor, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first is an observation that the author uses to support a particular position; the second is that position.
(B) The first is a pattern of cause and effect that the author believes to be true; the second offers evidence to contradict this pattern.
(C) The first is a position that the author argues will not hold in this case; the second is the author’s position.
(D) The first is a prediction that the author believes to be untrue. The second is a statement of fact that undermines the author’s position.
(E) The first is a direct relationship that the author believes will not hold in this case; the second offers evidence in support of the author’s position.

Read the myth King Midas and the Golden Touch.

In ancient Greece, Midas, king of Phrygia, ruled a very wealthy land. One day, some farmhands brought a captured creature to King Midas. They wanted to know what to do with the creature. King Midas recognized the creature as Silenus, the tutor of Dionysus, god of merrymaking. King Midas ordered the farmhands to set Silenus free. For ten days and nights, King Midas took care of Silenus. Then, King Midas took Silenus back to Dionysus.

Silenus and Dionysus were both very grateful to see one another again. Since King Midas was kind to Silenus, Dionysus offered to give Midas anything he wished. Unfortunately, King Midas made a foolish and greedy decision. He thought of the wealth that his land had and realized that he could have more. He asked Dionysus to give him the ability to touch anything and turn it into gold. Dionysus knew that this gift would bring trouble and heartache.

"Are you sure that is what you wish?" asked Dionysus skeptically.

"I am sure," affirmed King Midas.

Dionysus waved his staff, which had a pinecone on top, and disappeared. King Midas was anxious to experiment with his new ability. On the way back to the palace, Midas touched a twig, and it turned into delicate, pure gold! Midas was ecstatic. He also turned a stone, an apple, and a door into gold. When the king reached the river, he washed his hands to see if his ability would disappear. Instead, the drops of water turned to delicate gold droplets.

King Midas reached his home and immediately ordered a banquet. He feasted with his friends to celebrate the never-ending riches of his kingdom. Regrettably, the king discovered that his golden touch turned food and drink into solid gold. What could the king do? He needed to eat and drink in order to live. Just then, his beautiful daughter came dancing into the banquet hall, celebrating her father's good fortune. When she knelt down before her father, King Midas embraced her. The princess's beating heart stilled, and her warm body turned cold. King Midas shrank away in horror. His daughter was now a gold statue!

King Midas wept golden tears of bitterness and regret. His own foolishness and greed had destroyed his daughter's life and his own. He begged to Dionysus for forgiveness and aid. Dionysus was merciful. He told King Midas to go the source of the Pactolus River and bathe in the water. The water would take away Midas's golden ability and return anything he had touched back to its original form. King Midas quickly set out for the Pactolus River and traveled to its source. He bathed in the river and filled a pitcher with its water. King Midas poured the water over the head of his daughter, and her heart began to beat again. Midas embraced his daughter, grateful that his most precious treasure was alive once again. Since that day, the Pactolus River has contained the gold of King Midas.

Read the myth Cassandra's Wish.

In the ancient city of Troy, there lived a beautiful princess, who was much beloved by Queen Hecuba and King Prima, the last king of Troy. Her name was Cassandra. She was virtuous, loved her city very much, and had a lot of respect for the Greek gods and goddesses.

One day, Apollo, the god of prophecy, noticed Cassandra's extraordinary beauty. He approached the young maiden and offered her a deal. She could have anything she wished in exchange for a kiss. Cassandra was flattered by Apollo's attention and delighted at the possibility of a wish. She immediately agreed to the deal. Her wish was to be able to see the future. Since Apollo was the god of prophecy, he was able to make Cassandra a prophetess. Cassandra was thrilled!

Suddenly, Cassandra had a horrible vision of Troy being destroyed. She was devastated and furious at the revelation that her beloved home would be ruined. What kind of gift had Apollo given her? Apollo demanded that Cassandra kiss him, for she had made a bargain with him. In her fury, Cassandra refused. Apollo was outraged and decided to punish this mortal. Cassandra would still be able to see the future, but no one would believe her predictions. From that day on, the citizens of Troy believed that Cassandra was slightly crazy and didn't believe her prophesies, even though they always came true. Cassandra lived a lonely life, waiting for her city to be destroyed and longing for the days before she had made her foolish wish.
