You have made the school a great place for us but it has plenty of flaws coming with that. We do work all day long but just have a short 45 minute (20 for me) lunch break why can't we get it for 1 hour? All our other classes except a very few amount last 1 hour long so why can't lunch last that long too? Also please oh please have a system where we don't get homework unless we actually need to work on the topic a little bit more or just don't give us homework at all. We have to sit there in that classroom for 7 hours none stop and your really gonna make us spend another few hours to do more work. No thanks.
To answer the question above the major point of Thomas Paine is to encourage and inspire the army and more people to join the cause and the fight. Paine uses emotional ideologies and phrases for the colonist to have reasons why they deserve to be freed from the tyranny.
