Not only did politics play a crucial role in the citizenship of women, but it also played a major role in the eventual emancipation of African-American slaves. In the article “A Man but Not a Brother: Abraham Lincoln and Racial Equality”, author George Fredrickson examined the various statements and influences of United States President Abraham Lincoln, to understand his political beliefs on the issues of race and slavery. When viewed all together, these elements suggest that Lincoln was not a typical Negrophobe or a firm fighter for racial equality. To put him in either category would misrepresent his views on race.

Diane Ackerman, in her excerpt from “In Praise of Bats,” wants readers to recognize that life is beautifully strange, and it is the small moments that count. Ackerman takes on a gentle, calm tone to get her message across; to do this, she gives readers vivid imagery of bats, relating them to the beauty and abstractness of life.

Nobody and the Relation with His Stepmother Mrs Owens The graveyard book is an interesting book, originally written with the intent of being a book for young teens or adolescents. We can see that because it has fantasy themes that include ghosts, giant snakes, ghouls and other creatures from another plane of existence.
