The Use Of Strategies In The Revolutionary Crisis By Thomas Paine
analytical Essay
1444 words
Revolutionary Writers Re-write During the time period in which the American Revolution occurred, situations were dire, and the general public was in need of persuasion and motivation regarding the war. Those reluctant to see the blatant necessity to go to war needed further persuasion, and those losing hope during the seemingly bleak war needed the drive to continue. With these emotions at hand, authors of the revolutionary period, realizing the urgent need for action, wrote to inspire. Writing to inspire requires a vast variety of strategies, some of which appeal to certain audiences of the time. Through the time period, powerful, descriptive literary devices, such as metaphor, imagery, repetition to name a few, were vitally important in …show more content…
Of the many devices used, the use of rhetorical questions in The Crisis by Thomas Paine serves as the most important in the piece because of how well it plays with the reader’s emotions. Studies have shown that the use of rhetorical questions which have high relevance in the lives of the audience result in enhanced persuasion to the readers, and Paine captures this idea throughout the passage as a whole. He states, “but if a thief break into my house...and kill or threaten to kill me… am I to suffer it? (Paine 3). Paine leaves the answer painstakingly obvious while capturing the situation between the colonies and Great Britain, showing the absurdity that the colonists are going through at the moment. If people were ignorant of the fact before reading the piece, this rhetorical question will undoubtedly leave the readers feeling oppressed, and thus, accomplishing Paine’s goal of persuading the nation into war. Such an instance of the use of a rhetorical question along with many others in the passage serve to convince the readers of the author’s purpose, and the relatability of these rhetorical questions assist the audience at that time in atrocious situations that they have been placed

1410 wordsRead More - Paine and Henry´s Influence on the American Revolutionanalytical essayThe eighteenth century, a time of turmoil and chaos in the colonies, brought many opinionated writers to the forefront in support or refutation of the coming American Revolution. This highly controversial war that would ultimately separate the future United States of America from Great Britain became the center of debate. Two writers, both of whom supported the Revolution, now stand to fully illuminate one side of the debate. Thomas Paine, a radical propagandist, wrote many pieces during this time including “The Crisis Number 1” (1776). Through writing, he appealed to the “common man” in order to convince them to gather their arms and fight for their freedom. In this document, he utilizes many of the same rhetorical skills and propaganda techniques as Patrick Henry, a convincing orator, did in his famous speech delivered to the state’s delegates in 1775. Among these techniques are transfer, abstract language, and pathos. In both works, these were used to call the audiences to war. These influential pieces both contained a call to action which, through the use of strong and decisive language, aided the beginning of the American Revolution.

1054 wordsRead More - An Outside Look on Revolutionary Authorsanalytical essayWithout its inspiring authors, America would have lost its drive during the initial battles of the Revolutionary War. Literature in the time before, during, and after the Revolutionary War forever made an enormous impact on historical events. In this time, literature assumes a huge position in society and everyone keeps an eye out for the newest piece. The writers of short works such as Letters from an American Farmer, Declaration of Independence and Common Sense all gave Americans a reason to fight for their freedom and surge forward as an emergent independent nation. Thomas Paine implements a mixture of forceful emotions and opinions as well as hard facts and literal common sense to beautifully present his argument against British rule. Paine wrote several pamphlets encompassing everything from why the British should not rule America to rallying the troops to continue fighting for their freedom. J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur writes about his love for America and his appreciation for the freedoms allowed even though America is imperfect. These letters are about a fictional farmer named Farmer James who, while being a loyal follower of Britain, learns to love American life and its quirks. Thomas Jefferson expresses his desire for freedom from British rule and for America to determine its own future in writing the Declaration of Independence. He devotes his precious time and effort to ensure that America would have a set of strictures to adhere to and not fall into the throes of chaos and anarchy. Each of these authors express their personal philosophies concerning America’s future and the capabilities expected of it through various forms and styles of literature.

In the early times we had people like Thomas Paine write about how the people must unify to revolt against the British, so they could be free. People back then unified together, so that things that were bad, like being tied to the British, may go right, someday. The time then was not diverse and the majority of the society were white people, but now we are a diverse country with many cultures. Today the American people unify with the cultures, the diversity of beliefs, and improving American’s basic rights.

He took a different road than most of his fellow reformers of the time as he represents his beliefs on faith and science with a twist on the common idea of God writing the Bible and man developing science. He did this while frequently proclaiming his belief in everyone having the opportunity to follow their own faith; that said, Paine used subtle humor to suggest the need for believers to be educated on how they identify themselves. Even as Paine reiterates this acceptance for all religions, he is detested for this work simply because his opinions contradicted the mindset of his readers. Suggesting
