Through his intense research, Tackett gives the reader an appreciation for the difficult, unstable, and often violent Revolution and the men behind it. He includes personal letters, background knowledge of French monarchial rule, precise accounts of events, and explains to the reader the character of people who were involved and, most importantly, explains the significance of the most important escape attempt in history. Right from the beginning of the story, Tackett describes the dramatic turning point in the people’s view of the monarchy and the Revolution when Louis XVI was recognized and stopped by Jean-Baptiste Drouet. In this most paramount of moments of the Revolution the king acted as a man broken, crushed by fear and desperation begging for help from the townspeople of Varennes and embraces all of the members of the municipal court one by one (Tackett 2003)[1]. Tackett portrays a man helpless and broken in part due to the arduous journey from Paris and the high level of stress the family has experienced over their journey, but still aware of his noble roots.

Echeverría started his political protest through literature on coming back from Paris to the ruthless regime of Rosas, whose chaotic leadership led to dreadful murders of the Unitarists. The contrast between the liberal France and the tyranny in Argentina was striking. Echeverría joined a group of intellectuals called Asosación de Mayo, who were strongly influenced by Romanticism, a philosophical movement originated in Europe. Echeverría believed Romanticism was “liberalism in literature”, to quote the words of Victor Hugo. He, therefore, applied Romantic devices in El matadero
Wendy Perez Analysis At the beginning of the opening chapters, Cooper introduces the setting between the brutal and bloody war of the French and Indian War. There are some parts in the novel where Cooper used historical facts to narrate the actual, lived events in this colonial history of the United States. Although there are roots in his narrative to be from his own imaginary war, Cooper wanted to emphasize the tensions between mankind and the land, natives and the colonists, and nature and culture. The characters in the novel are illustrated in various ways that national cultures interact. They even materialize some of the extended stereotypes held during the colonization of America and racial tensions arise throughout the chapters.
Throughout is powerful speech he uses emotional appeals and rhetorical questions to get his ideas across. Henry uses emotional appeal by expressing how much the colonists have been hurt and wronged by the British government. Simply by expressing how much Britain has placed soldiers and naval fleets around the colonies makes there a perception that Britain does not trust the colonies and must guard them like a prison not giving them any rights. Also, by asking rhetorical questions about simple human rights and freedom he puts the listeners into a mindset that they have been wronged. He does not always say exactly what Britain has done but rather mentions their government and then asks a rhetorical question about the man’s freedom.

Professor Staples 9/21/11 Essay 1 The “French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen” was approved by the National assembly of France in August 1789. Through this document one can clearly see the significance of the immense social and intellectual forces, which influenced the French Revolution because they destroyed the old older and brought a set of new ideas upon the world that, were dangerously powerful. These dynamic forces were crafted through the works of the enlightenment and the new ways of thinking which profoundly changed the nature of politics itself. The enlightenment caused the old rigid political and social system to face the wrath of new political ideas and economic realities which in turn caused the French Revolution by giving birth to a new world view. The enlightenment unleashed upon the people a set of complex ideas of rationalism, secularism, a Newtonian world view and many other leading European intellectuals idea’s which can all be portrayed right in the document itself.
