This is a fragmant of President Lincoln´s speech of March 4th, 1865, during his second inaugural address, in which he refers to the Civil War. Due to the tone of the message, is evident that President Lincoln wants to send a general message of reconciliation and peace. This is evidnet in the cited lines, in which he is trying to explain that after all, the outcome of the war couldn´t really be anticipated by any of the parties, particularly in the lenght and magnitude of the war.
Unfortunately I can't write a story for you, but you can make some story up where your father saves you from running into oncoming traffic on a road, or where he saves you from choking on some food. I'm assuming anything will work
In some ways, Creon is a foil to Oedipus, showing a sense of justice and compassion that Oedipus does not. We have evidence of Creon’s lack of ambition for kingship, and willingness to compromise only from his own speeches though.
<span>Oedipus’ downfall is that when in power, he becomes arrogant, treating Tireisias in a high-handed manner, and suspecting Creon of being after the rulership of the city rather than merely concerned about the city’s welfare. Creon claims to be concerned only for the city, and appears more pious than Oedipus and more concerned with making sure that Thebes is not offending the gods</span>
It changes the verb to a noun. Acceleration is the state or process of accelerating. Same for attraction. Hope this helps. :)
