He says, “if the white man doesn’t want the black man buying rifles then let the government do its job,” which furthers his point of “the Ballot or the Bullet.” Immediately after he finishes that he explains the hypocrisy of America in that they will send armies of people to secure free elections in Cuba but it doesn’t have free elections it-self. He then sends a threat to the government specifically the politicians in D.C. He says if they don’t stop debating over the issues with a non-violent army, then a violent army will go down there and force change. He again contradicts him-self here because first he advocated violence then non-violence and now he is back to violence. He wraps up his speech by calling-out a particular person.
Thaddeus Stevens had to downplay his true political beliefs in order to gain passage of the amendment. Had Stevens, in his speech during the amendment fight, declared his belief in racial equality, he would have lost most of the conservative votes of the Democrats. However while doing this, it is seen that Thaddeus Stevens has to force himself to deny his beliefs in racial equality under the questioning of Democrat Wood, who is against the emancipation. Downplaying his belief is honorable because Thaddeus is giving up his true beliefs for an important amendment that would abolish slavery and involuntary servitude. He sacrificed his core beliefs/principles and dignity in order to gain passage of the amendment; this gives us a sense of how this can be considered honorable.
The first thing he talks about is how we need to join the struggle against Communism in Southeast Asia before it is too late and we “must surrender the Pacific and take up our defenses on our own shores.” Next he mentions how if we help the governments of these countries become strong, the urge to become Communist will die down. Later in the speech he says that SEATO will never be the answer because the French and British and not willing to help. Lastly, he mentions how Vietnam and Thailand are the immediate trouble spots and must be handled with our “very best talents”. He describes the problem in Vietnam in more depth, saying that Diem is a “complex figure beset by many problems”. This means that Diem is not very liked by the people of South Vietnam and will most likely be unable to beat Ho Chi Minh in an
Jack hunted instead of built shelters with Simon. This is very significant because it exhibits Ralph’s leadership and shows his understanding of the situation. The main goal for the society is to be saved but Ralph understands that they might not be saved for a while so they must build shelters to survive. | Individual Freedoms | “Simon was floating
He also appeals to the fight in his audience with the use of pathos. He appeals to their anger towards the white man to convey his message that they must fight together to destroy their oppressor. This is a direct attack on Martin Luther King Jr. King wanted what Malcolm X calls a “negro revolution” that is peaceful and without bloodshed. Malcolm X says that this is impossible, if change is to be accomplished then there must be violence there must be
In stories, the protagonist is always the interesting one who saves people. In “The Odyssey” by Homer the hero, Odysseus, makes this story very interesting to read. Odysseus has remarkable qualities that show the reader at the beginning of the story that he is the protagonist through analyzing his personality. Odysseus is a strong, courageous leader and his intelligence always gets him closer and closer to his goal. Odysseus’s strong leadership play’s a huge role in the issues that face him on his journey home to Ithaca.
He refused to accept the laws that he thought were unjust. I would have done the same thing. When I look back on the history of this nation, it just makes me glad that things have changed. King organized the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which gave him a base to pursue further civil-rights activities, first in the South and later nationwide. His philosophy of nonviolent resistance led to his
This particular highlight of the case initiates something Smith and I finally disagree on. Continuing on the account of George Zimmerman, Smith goes on to say that “I personally do not agree with the statement of Zimmerman. Look at size and make up. Was a deadly force justified, was the situation a danger to him or any other citizen based on logic? And as far as Zimmerman claiming the Stand Your Ground law, does that mean someone should die at every quarrel because they have the right to ‘stand their ground?” Smith makes another valid point with his last statement.
2. Papas strenth was he always wanted to belive for the better as shown with this quote, "Father was under the illusion(because he was blinded by pride)...that someday all white people would disappear from South Africa, and black people would revert to their old way of living. "(Mathabane 32)
Washington and others,” the author tells the reader that Booker T. Washington has fundamentally failed them as a leader. Instead of striking a compromise with white southerner, he should have demanded the equal rights for the Negro people. Dr. Du Bois use of logos shows that his feeling toward the Atlanta Compromise is not personal, but is in the best interest of the Negro race as they move into the 20th century. When making this argument, it works for Dr. Du Bois because he appeals to the logic and emotion of the reader. Dr. Du Bois, although an educated man, never brings of the fact that he was the first black to earn a Ph.
