Essay F In Staying put: Making a Home in a Restless World, Scott Russell Sanders uses a myriad of rhetorical strategies. Ranging from Biblical to sarcasm to simple syntax, he effectively conveys his opinions of migrations of human beings. Scott Sanders uses a biblical reference to the promise land of the Cannon in the bible. He compares North America’s frontier land and ‘Unlimited Space’ to the promise land. His undertone of sarcasm is present in this comparison, but not yet blatantly obvious as it is in lines 20-26, “In the newspapers…without hooting.” Here the author states that only the population can listen to this proposal by the president without laughing.
(57) Then Beatty asks Montag, “What do we want in this country, above all?” To be happy and Montag agrees with Beatty.

Does Beatty read books? Does he have books?
If you lived in Puritan society as characterized by The Scarlet Letter, there’s no difference between God’s law and man’s law. The combination of church and state creates an intolerant religious society. For the people in the community, an even public humiliation isn’t enough and believe that ‘…At the very least, they should have put the brand of a hot iron on Hester Prynne’s forehead…’” (45). They think that public shame is still too merciful. The community’s final judgment is Hester’s tombstone which reads “‘On a field, sable, the letter A, gules.’”(205).
2/ express your opinion about the change in Rip Van Winkle in relation to the quotation:” the nature of the people of instead tranquil and lazy complaisance with the old order of monarchical reign the people now had to form their own nation.” Americans were trying to avoid the tyranny of England, just as Rip would do everything possible to escape his overbearing wife.

Just as this belief in equality had enabled America to build a great nation of liberty, Truman added, so too could it serve as the foundation for world peace. The president held that equality before God, recognized in good government, would undergird a brotherhood of man — much in the sense that Pius XII sketched in their Christmas 1949 exchange of messages — around the world. [10] Truman believed that peace would follow, not from world government but from the understanding of equality, morality and religion, strength, and freedom. “The greatest obstacle to peace,” he said, “is a modern tyranny led by a small group who have abandoned their faith in God. These tyrants have forsaken ethical and moral beliefs.
He would use anaphoras to make whatever he was talking about stick to the reader’s thoughts. For example, when he was talking about the government in Civil Disobedience “It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate.” Thoreau would also use plenty of axioms in his writing; in the last chapter of Walden he wrote “Things do not change; we change.” A collection of allegories were used in Thoreau’s style too; he would allude to various religious and historical events in his writings. Like the “Battle of the Ants” representing the wars that were going on.
Racism Still Treads the Soil There is a fine line between Racism and Simple Superiority Revived and full of life, racism is resuscitated to resume to its duties here on earth. The American population should really consider the development of an equal eye program to protest against racism.

A variety of opportunities and an ocean overflowing with waves of knowledge and talents would be buried for eternity just because of the vast disliking of different pigmentation of the skin or origin of their ancestors. Everyone should an equal opportunity to do something with their lives and become something of themselves despite their ethnicity.
American Values The phrase "taxation without representation" any student of American history should recognize. The colonies that would ultimately form the foundations of our great nation felt the heavy load of British taxes. The mother country unrelentingly levied these endorses to its distant American citizens, Citizens that bared no weight in Parliament, Citizens whose opinions were not perceived by the bureaucrats of England who took the colonists money without once taking into account the situation of the men and women struggling to prosper in a new land. "Taxation without Representation" was a call to action. Some simply hoped for government agreement.
~Samuel Butler Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. ~Theodore Roosevelt Whatever we worship, short of God, is sure to be our undoing. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 Toss your dashed hopes not into a trash bin but into a drawer where you are likely to rummage some bright morning. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.... People think pleasing God is all God care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.
In “Hello Day – Worldwide” by Kobina Eyi Acquah, the persona is condemning the conforming and materialistic nature of the individuals in the world. The author suggests a positive change to the world by having a “World Hello Day”.
