How does Paine describe a Tory and why

English

Maru [420]3 years ago
8 0

"The period is now arrived, in which either they or we must change our  sentiments, or one or both must fall. And what is a Tory? Good God! what is he? I should not be  afraid to go with a hundred Whigs against a thousand Tories, were they to attempt to get into  arms. Every Tory is a coward; for servile, slavish, self-interested fear is the foundation of  Toryism; and a man under such influence, though he may be cruel, never can be brave."

From <em>The American Crisis</em> by Thomas Paine.

<em>The American Crisis </em>was written for an audience of colonists whom he hoped would understand the need for American independence from Great Britain. He used rhetorical strategies and plain style and diction that would allow him to connect to his audience and appeal to everyone. His descriptive words and rhetorical appeal allowed for his writing to be a powerful political tool in the Revolutionary War.

Tema [17]

Answer: Anne and Peter become close friends during the time they hide in the annex.

Explanation:

The Diary of Anne Frank showed a first hand look into how some Jews fared when the Nazis occupied Europe. It was an everyday account written by Anne Frank as she and her family and others hid in an annex in the workplace of her father.

Anne forms a very strong friendship with Peter Van Pels during their time hiding in the annex. This difficult experience of having to hide from Nazi persecution simply because they were Jewish gave them a shared experience that laid the foundation for a strong friendship.

Nick carraway the great gatsby the pros and cons
DIA [1.3K]
This sounds like a great question to answer about the reliability of Nick as a narrator. On one hand, he seems to be a very honest character.  But, on the other hand, he will always have an innate bias based on his feeling towards certain characters and events.

Poetry is easy to write do you agree or disagree with it? explain in a paragraph.
Julli [10]
I think that the answer to this question would be based off of your opinion because when you write poetry,most times, you are writing about your feelings and the way you express those feelings is different for everyone. Some people may have a harder time putting those feelings into words, while others might not.
