I believe that Thomas Paine, in Common Sense uses rhetoric convince the colonist to that being ruled under Britain is bad thing for the denial of liberty and the economic depression they have. He believes that they need to separate because they are...More

Mickayla Blake Mickaykay commented on "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" Rhetoric...
In my eyes, there is one clear similarity and one clear difference between the 'Olive Branch Petition' and 'Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death'. In both documents, one of the main points is to show that the colonists want their independence from...More

Akasha Fobbs commented on Common Sense Rhetoric...
I completely agree with Andres. The rhetoric in the Common Sense document is subtle, and the fact that you noticed shows how you analyzed the text very well. Context clues do help to indicate who "She". Because the event took place around the...More

"Give me Liberty or Give me Death" Rhetoric
Patrick Henry uses rhetoric to demonstrate how he would much rather have death than to not have liberty. In the document, Henry stresses that not having freedom is no bueno. He also stresses the consequences on reconciliation. One quote would be "Gi...More

In these Common Sense excepts from the pamphlets, I sensed a lot of ethos(credibility) and logos(logic). Knowing that the pamphlet itself is made by a famous philosopher and writer is ethos in itself. He uses phrases and knowledge that he expects yo...More

Jacob Shoemaker commented on Causes of the Revolutionary War...
What is the larger connection to government, Briant? Where would the colonists go from here when they started to think about establishing a new government? Be sure to address the prompt directly.
I agree with your statement that the author uses rhetoric to convince the king into bringing back the old relationship. Without rhetoric what point is there to even try and convince the king. Also I like the evidence you used and how you...More
