Patrick Henry's speech is very effective. He simplifies the desire to leave England's rule as a choice between freedom and slavery when he says "<span>I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery." There is no one in his audience who would choose slavery over freedom. 
Henry then outlines all the ways in which England has made them their "slaves" and uses images like "</span>bind and rivet upon us those chains" to further the slavery metaphor. He lists all the different pleas the colonies have made to England which have been ignored. He finishes his reasoning saying that England believes the colonies to weak to fight back. He counters that idea when he says, "<span>Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us." Henry goes on to argue that the colonies armies are significantly stronger than England because they are fighting for their homes and what is right.</span>

In "I, Too," why does the speaker say "they" will be ashamed?
jonny [76]

"I, Too" is a powerful poem by the popular poet Langston Hughes. It is about a colored individual who is forced to eat in the kitchen whenever company comes. He talks about "they" and refers to the people who make him leave when there is company. He says they will be ashamed because while they send him to the kitchen all this while, he is getting stronger and better.

Symbols found in the story a sound of thunder
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

  • A sound of thunder is used to represent the T-Rex steps and Travis’s gun. The two things that cause giant turns in the story.
  • The butterfly Eckels kills is easy—the butterfly effect. Also, butterflies represent freedom, a freedom he killed when his actions changed the outcome of the election.
  • The path they’re supposed to stay on is written destiny. It’s the path that needs to be taken in order to get back to their normal lives.
  • The bullets represent the disturbance of the past, and future, all at once.

I hope that this helps you! :)
