Arthur Clark Remember Me Analysis
My reaction to A Lincoln Preface was surprised with the amount of “out-there” facts I didn’t know about Abraham Lincoln but otherwise uninterested while my reaction to “Arthur Ashe Remembered” was interested considering I’ve never heard of Arthur Ashe and his story was absolutely riveting. Sandburg used quite a few intriguing little facts, but his writing was somewhat slow-moving. His feelings towards Lincoln seem very textbook, but he also feels that Lincoln had been a tyrant and was good at manipulating people. McPhee’s writing had been extremely smooth, passing from subject to subject without losing the reader. His feelings about Ashe seem highly admirable, as if he thinks every move this man makes on the court was unimaginable genius.
