The first African American has been elected to our nation's highest office. Incredible. This is an historic day.O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
We've looked at several speeches so far this year and we heard a couple of good ones tonight.
Having just studied JFK's inaugural address, parts of Barack Obama's acceptance speech jumped out to me as being very Kennedy-esque. Though it had strong echoes to JFK, it was also very much his own in tone. I was rather impressed, but I'm interested to know what you think.
For those of you watching tonight, you also heard a very gracious concession speech by John McCain that struck a very different tone to what he put forth during the final month or so of the campaign.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI know I haven't had all of my homework up. I got a pretty bad cold and it just won't go away. So I am working on getting caught up. I just put up the rest of last weeks homework up. I will have Mondays homework up by tomorrow at the latest. Sorry about the late work!!!!

HEY I think I just caught an error!
ReplyDeleteShouldn't your last sentence in the first paragraph read "This is A historic day." instead of "AN historic day."?
I believe Christine Ngo deserves some extra credit points now. (:
H's are tricky. There are a number of fairly fine distinguishing points, however at this point in the development of English, an or a before an h is virtually personal preference. An historic is a bit archaic, but que cera cera. ;)
