which two excerpts in the passage supports the claim that paine believed the cost of the colonist struggle against the British w
Anarel [89]

The two excerpts in the passage that support the claim that Paine believed the cost of the colonist struggle against the British was well worth the outcome are:

  • "The children will criticize his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy"
  • "Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands"

<h3>What was Paine's point?</h3>

In the text, Paine wanted to prove the fact that children will be proud of their fathers and ancestors for refusing to be subject to British rule.

In the passage, the indicated excerpts show that children will not be happy if their parents were afraid and backed out of the fight.

Complete Passage:

The Crisis, No. 1 by Thomas Paine (adapted excerpt) . . . I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that you may be blessed. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the effect or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is cold; the children will criticize his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles. My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive, for I think it wrong; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and threatens me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am I to suffer it?

Does Hi Cory need a new punctuation
BaLLatris [955]
To sound more sophisticated it could be written as: Hello, Cory
To add punctuation it would be simply: Hi, Cory
Or if casually like if you were texting it could be: Hi Core- left the same.
