ELA article 12-6-12




I read the article '' Was Mrs. Lincoln really insane?''


This article was about Mary Todd Lincoln, which is Abraham Lincoln's husband. In Marry's early years she had a ruff life, she was depressed up to 1975. Marry was depressed because 3 of her sons died, and after that her husband got assassinated in 1865. After this tragedy, she only had 1 child left. His name was Robert. Robert started to get worried that his mother was gathering in a group to try and contact dead family members. Robert got so worried that he asked a court to put her in a insane asylum. The jury agreed for 4 months for Mary. Still to this day, ''137 years later the wife of the 16th president has had a new day in court.'' (Upfront pg.4). Mary grew and became extremely and mentally ill. Until the day that Mary Todd Lincoln died, she did not feel she had the proper trial.

  1. This is great but these things could make it better. One is go and edit your spelling and grammar. I found a couple of errors in the paragraph. I would go into more detail in telling more about her and using your facts and information to its fullest. Otherwise this is great. Make sure to fix these errors and this will be easier to follow.
