The Gettysburg Address, please help
I’m taking a speech class this semester, and it’s just killing me. Back in my country, if I had problems with some course, I would just give some money to the instructor. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work in America :( .
Now I have to write a paper on the Gettysburg Address. The problem is that I am not a native speaker and for me this speech is just a bunch of complicated words. I understand that it is a very significant speech, yet I cannot comprehend it. I don't understand what makes it so significant. I can’t use the Internet to write the paper ‘cause than it would be plagiarism (yyyhh, such a scary word, and this is one more thing that usually worked just fine back in my country but doesn’t work here :cry: ). “If you don’t understand the speech, talk with others,” that’s what the teacher said.
If you have some ideas, be kind and share them with me, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
