Parliament and Crown had opposing views on whether or not to have a military group to fight the British. Henry enthusiastically proclaimed his stance on the situation at hand. Henry thought very highly of patriotism and felt that he had the ability to address the House. Even though he did not want to be disrespectful to any of the members, he did not hold anything back. With insisting that there was no time for formality, he realized that this was a terrible time for the country.
- How is Paine’s perspective of government linked to his arguments for the separation of Britain? - In which way Thomas Paine arguments his reasons for America’s Independence? I mainly choose the questions because I think he gives a lot of importance to the topic government/society and I was thinking about his opinion of the present governments, and it will be a good topic to discuss with my colleagues. He accuses government then, so maybe he would criticise it now or not. My second question is more theoretical, and it could be answered just by reading the text.
To be patriot is a good thing, it means that you believe and are proud of your country. The common man does not want to be depicted as a person who hates their country and isn’t patriotic. When Uncle Sam states “I want you to join the army!” a true patriot joins the army and fights the good fight. The sense of patriotism is used with rhetoric every time Uncle Sam “chooses” someone. For example in 1967, at the height of his career, Muhammad Ali was the World Boxing Association (WBA) Champion when he refused a call to serve in the United States Army.

Baba just came to America for the sake of Amir for he thought he gave a gift to Amir when they were in America and for Baba it would be something that he would have to suffer for Amir.
His sentence tries to tell America that they have a new journey to embark upon. An antithesis is the combining of contrasting ideas. He also uses another antithesis near the end of his speech. He attempts to recognize that arms are needed for power, but he does this in a manner that doesn’t provoke a war. He does the same for battles, especially because America always seems to be involved in one.

We all come from different backgrounds,cultures,religions and we are bought up in different ways. This all provides us with the different ways we see ,except and interpret the way we live our lives.
