The American Experience of an Indentured Servant Richard Frethorne’s letters to his parents in 1623 presents us with an abrupt image of what life as an indentured servant was like in the New World near the Virginia colonization. Frethorne’s letters are filled with vivid descriptions of his discomfort and hardships. Malnutrition, disease, threats of violence, brutal labor, isolation, and death are all common elements of Richard Frethorne’s letters and his life as an indentured servant. Most owners of indentured servants made their servants work as much as possible while spending as little as possible on the servants’ upkeep and contentment.

The Prime Minister is very passive. Although he is sad about losing some British citizens in the crashes, he is dealing more with the living relatives rather than thinking of the future.

Although they both appeal to pathos through their speeches, Bush appeals more because of his powerful diction with usage of many “we” and “us” phrases whereas Blair uses “I” phrases. Bush allows us glimpses into his true feelings about 9/11.
The Counterculture obviously relates to Kesey theory of drugs being the key to an individual liberation. When Kesey was in the process of writing the novel One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest the Korean War was still a fresh memory, and then in shock came World War II after. According to Kesey war can cause trauma to patients. Following the daily beast article many of the patients in the nove One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest suffered from war trauma.
