Read lincoln’s statement from "the gettysburg address."

the world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

which point is lincoln trying to make?

as time passes, people will not remember the speech of the soldiers.
the progress made by the soldiers has more impact than words.
the world does not care about the soldiers’ actions.
speeches have more importance and lasting power than actions.

The progress made by the soldiers has more impact than words.

Explanation:

People might not talk about or remember what happened, but the actions of the soldiers will cause significant impacts on their lives even if they don't realize it. It's quite the contrary of speeches meaning more than actions. It also doesn't mean that the world doesn't care about the soldiers, but that they won't notice it as much as they'll notice the changes caused by their actions.

compare & contrast informative essay/speech

when speaking or writing for the sole purpose of providing information in order to give audience members a good basis for making a decision, you would present an informative speech or essay.   because you wouldn’t want to be persuading the audience by arguing for one type of exercise over the other, you wouldn’t choose a persuasive/argumentative technique.   to fairly, and without bias, present information about the pros and cons of each type exercise, a compare/contrast, informative speech/essay would be the best bet.

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
