Think about it would, you rather admit cheating on a test or get shot with a needle containing a toxin that simulates the pain of a real bullet. Yeah i'm gonna take that zero and enjoy NOT being in excruciating pain, thank you. No, I would not like to live in a society like candor. That seems like it would be filled with boring rude people.

In his famous Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln, the president of the United States at that time, uses repetition and allusion to draw light to the importance and meaning of the situation, and the need for more people to rise up and fight for America. Lincoln begins using allusion, by referring back to America’s founding fathers, and the morals they implied with the idea that “all men are created equal”.
