We dredged him up, for killed, until he whined "O sir, my eyes — I'm blind — I'm blind, I'm blind!" Coaxing, I held a flame against his lids And said if he could see the least blurred light He was not blind; in time he'd get all right. "I can't," he sobbed. Eyeballs, huge-bulged like squids Watch my dreams still; but I forgot him there In posting next for duty, and sending a scout To beg a stretcher somewhere, and floundering about To other posts under the shrieking air. Those other wretches, how they bled and spewed, And one who would have drowned himself for good, — I try not to remember these things now.
Neglecting the fact that there is no clause in the Constitution permitting him to purchase land, Jefferson used Napoleon’s European conquest to help him get rid of New World worries. Napoleon compares this decision to saying to your grown child, “I did this for your good. I pretend to no right to bind you, you may disavow me, and I must get out of the scrape as I can. I thought it my duty to risk myself for you” (Document C). The Embargo Act of 1807 is perhaps the most contradictory decision Jefferson has made in his presidency.

In Common Sense, Thomas Paine makes a strong case against not only the English monarchy, but all monarchical forms of government in general. Why do you think he pursues this line of reasoning and why might it be important or particularly effective in convincing American colonists to seek independence in 1776? Thomas Paine’s reasoning behind seeking independence is particularly geared towards his denouncement of monarchial government because he believes that the symbolic king and ruler of this type of government is the root of all things evil and unholy under God. Paine devotes an entire chapter of his influential pamphlet Common Sense to the idea that a government under a monarchy is diseased with idolatry – the people under monarchial rule are being brainwashed, living out their lives for their mortal ruler rather than for each other or for God. This idea is very important and effective in persuading the American colonists against the British Crown in that it proves to the colonists through accurate definition of a monarchy and concise reference to logic, history and biblical scripture that running a country of their own opposite the British is the change the colonies need.
Spill the blood!” (174,175) Reasoning: No civil person would repeatedly state this phrase. This definitely represents savagery. It shows how bloodthirsty these boys are and then when they recite this while murdering Simon; it makes it even more gruesome. They’re so consumed in all the blood that they don’t even realize they had killed Simon until it is too late. • “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.” (235) Reasoning: This quote that was stated at the end of the book shows the reader and myself that the world of savagery only leads to murder and sorrow.

O’Brien writes “They carried all the emotional baggage of men who might die. Grief, terror, love, longing-these were intangibles, but intangibles has their own mass and specific gravity, they had tangible weight.” (108) Death changes a solder.
