"The New Name" was written by English writer and poet G.K Chesterton. In this particular excerpt, there are many places and sentences which show that the speaker is addressing a large group and not just an individual. To know this, we must remember the importance of the pronouns used, that indicate when the speaker is refering to many, or just one, and whether he/she is included in the group or not. In this excerpt, we have thus: "Something has come into our community, which is strong enough to save our community..." the pronoun our makes you know that the speaker is not just addressing a single person, but a group. The second sentence is: "Which is, that men in England are ruled..." this sentence is also an example, because it makes reference, through men in England, to the large group of Englishmen, instead of just one individual. Third, we have: "I think it would be a good thing to have some portable and practicable way of referring to those who think as we do in our main concern." Finally, but not the last of many, we have: "Passing over the fact that many who understand the justice of our cause..." Like these, there are many more sentences in the two clauses that show that G.K Chesterton is not just talking to one, but to many.
