    Therefore, Paine is able to make claims like, “I dwell not upon the vapors of imagination; I bring reason to your ears, and, in language as plain as A, B, C, hold up truth to your eyes”. Because of Paine’s established credibility at this point in the paper, this quote is also therefore credible, as now the reader knows that he really is showing them the truth and saying the situation as it is. Paine was a very skilled writer and always made sure that his audience knew he was a credible source. Paine compared ideas about the war to scenarios in life to make the audience more emotionally charged by the…

    Paine took note of the fact that although Britain did protect the colonies; it was strictly for the economic benefit not out of benevolence. It is also pointed out how if they were not so tightly bound with Britain then the colonies would not share the same enemies. In other words, there would have been no need for protection in the first place with England out of the picture. He also adds, yes, the colonies have been successful, but that does not mean things should remain the unchanged. To have a successful future, the political aspects must be altered because monarchy, in this instance will deprecate over time.…

    Liell found a difficult task in accurately reporting Paine’s legacy prior to his rise in American popularity. This is greatly in part to the lascivious attempts of royal propagandists to smear Paine’s unblemished reputation by muddying the realities of his heritage.(pg.24) Notwithstanding the difficulty, Liell aptly delivers valuable particulars of Paine’s past and associates them succinctly to the events leading up to and following the authoring of Common Sense. Like many of his American contemporaries, Paine came from…

    In December 23, 1776, document D was written by Thomas Paine. The line " This are the times that try men's soul", means that during this time is where a person would test their basic belief. When he says "summer soldier and the sunshine patriot," he is talking about men who would serve their country when the war is easy and the odds look good. The summer soldier and sunshine patriot is a man who would fight for his country as long as what they are trying to achieve is easy, and can be done without loss. A tyranny is despotic abuse of authority, and compares it to hell. Paine wrote it with the intention of persuading us soldiers who were losing morale to keep steadfast to the cause of independence. He is attacking us, since he believes that a soldier should focus on the goal no matter how hard it is to reach. He is putting some common sense into us and telling us that we shouldn't be a sunshine soldier or a summer…

    Paine opens his persuasion to the nation by warning that getting their freedom from Britain will not be easy. By using the simile, "Tyranny, like hell...", he implies that Britain's control over them will not be easy to overcome. As he says in the beginning of the paragraph, "The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will...shrink from the service...but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and women.", this states that anyone who will not fight for their country does not deserve their country, he uses pathos when declaring this statement. In the latter section of this paragraph, Paine uses the metaphor, "...if being bound in that manner is not slavery", to show that the way that the Britain is controlling them, makes them feel like slaves.…

    Thomas Paine used propaganda methods to induce a desire for freedom in the reader in one of his works, The Crisis. One type of propaganda used was over generalization. His use of broad generalities was demonstrated when he concluded, "Not a man lives on the continent, but fully believes that a separation must sometime or other finally take place..." A second type of propaganda used was either/or fallacy. Paine had the sentiment that a man either fought for freedom or would always be known as a coward when he stated, "The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy." The third and final use of propaganda in Paine's The Crisis was the bandwagon appeal. To truly be an admired American, Tom thought that one had to support and fight for freedom for all. This was exemplified when he said, "The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the…

    The winter of 1776 was a dreadful time for George Washington and his troops. They had little food, inadequate shelter, and many were deserting (Berstein 161). Into this horrible situation came Thomas Paine. In England, he had moved, without success, through several occupations. He then began to write essays supporting America's fight for independence, shortly after his arrival in 1774. In December of 1776, he started to write a series of articles entitled The Crisis. His words inspired many soldiers to enlist in the army and encouraged them to continue fighting. After the publication of his articles, the first anti-slavery movement, The American Antislavery Society, was found (Katz 1). His beliefs of universal order, in human perfectibility, and in the power of reason, guided him throughout his life to express himself and persuade others to fight for what they believed in. Yet Paine, a fuzzy historical figure of the 1700s, is remembered mostly for one or two sparkling patriotic quotes - "These are the times that try men's souls" - and little else (Katz 1). The Crisis gave enough courage to the Americans that when they attacked Britain at Trenton they…
