  • In this sentence Paine refers to Tories.

Explanation:

The American Crisis is a pamphlet composed by a series of articles written by Thomas Paine,<em> (He first wrote Common Sense which played a significant part in convincing the colonists to fight for Independence)</em>. The American Crisis main purpose was to support the Revolution when colonists began to withdraw from the army.

Tories or Loyalists were American colonists that remained loyal to Britain, which is the enemy Paine is talking about in the excerpt.

<em>"Your conduct is an invitation to the enemy"</em> in this sentence Paine talks about how Tories wouldn't stand up against Britain, he described them as people that lived in fear and that were not brave enough.

"Yet no one in a thousand of you has heart enough to join him" in this part of the excerpt Thomas Paine is talking about how in a thousand Tories there was not a single person that was brave enough to join the army of Britain, according to him Britain was only interested in having soldiers not Tories.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The following is an example of how to use descriptive language to describe the first 19 days of January. Since the answer is supposed to be personal and it varies depending on where you live, adapt this example to suit your reality:

The first 19 days of January were a beautiful contrast painted by nature. Although days were short, whenever the sun came out, it did it with gusto. Sunlight poured down onto the snow, the frozen sidewalks and slippery roads, filtered by the branches of leafless trees in the forest nearby.

In the early morning, if felt as if the world had hibernated and was struggling to wake up. The silence outside was deafening. Slowly, as the sun crept up in the sky, people and animals seemed to lazily stretch out of their sleepiness.

<h3>What is descriptive language?</h3>
  • Descriptive language gives sensorial details in order to make images and sensations more vivid to the reader. Compare the two sentences below:
  1. It was a warm day and Jason sat under a tree.
  2. Beads of sweat rolled down Jason's neck as he sat under the palm tree. The yellowish sun rays were slightly deflected by the huge, jagged leaves.
  • The first sentence does not use descriptive language. It states directly what the weather is like and what Jason is doing.
  • The second sentence, on the other hand, really describes what is happening. We can really see and feel how hot it is when we imagine the drops of sweat and the yellowish sunlight.
