Read this excerpt from the Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln and answer the question. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. … But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. What is the effect of some of the literary devices in the Gettysburg Address excerpt? It establishes sense of place. It uses deductive reasoning about all soldiers. It foreshadows "I Have a Dream" speech. It evokes feeling of honoring the dead.
