The Red King's Rebellion fought more than three hundred years ago between the Algonquian peoples and New England settlers was in per-capita terms the bloodiest war in our nation's history. Before the conflict ended, over 9,000 people were dead (two-thirds of them Native Americans), and homelessness, starvation, and economic hardship plagued the descendants of both races for generations to come. In this fascinating book, Russell Bourne examines the epic struggle from both sides, seeking to explain how the biracial harmony that once reigned--when the Plymouth Colony's neighboring Wampanoag’s, under the stately Massasoit (King…

Unique experiences can shape the way Distinctive voices are presented to individuals through texts. Different views and perspectives can be conveyed, and can influence individuals through the presence of these Distinctive Voices. Distinctive Voices are defined as an influential and prominent voice, expressed by an individual or a society. Distinctive voices are demonstrated through Racheal Perkins film released in 2001 ‘’One Night the Moon ‘’ (ONTM) and Martin Luther King’s speech “I have a dream” presented in 1963 at a Washington march of Jobs and Freedom. ‘’One night the moon’’ presents the story of a young white girl that goes missing in the harsh Australian outback during the period of the 1930’s. The community is torn apart due to the…
Johnson uses several key elements of a great speech to target his audience. One of the key elements he uses are powerful metaphors and paints vivid imagery. In the speech at the University of Michigan, Johnson says several metaphors and vivid imagery. One of the first is “I have come today from the turmoil of your capital to the tranquility of you campus to speak about the future of your country.” He is making a comparison to the nation's capital to the university campus and connecting to the audience. He goes on to say, The Great Society rests on abundance and liberty for all. This gives the Great Society a physical feature that can be felt, seen, and weighed. He is describing a solid foundation, which most believe is important for all things…
Henry V demonstrated his ability to make all of his men feel valued and equal, even though they are from varying status. He talks about how the fewer men there are, the greater share of glory they have between them in his St. Crispin’s Day speech. It makes all of his men feel valued the same as all the rest. I will examine three examples that show how Henry demonstrated that they are all in the battle together.…
After reading the provided statement and considering the points it made I would have to disagree with it on two grounds. Firstly, handing control of the local police to the recently freed slaves would put many people in the police force out of work. This would create a situation similar to that of the Iraq war in which we removed all members of the Baathist party from power, by doing this we put thousands out of work, and essentially created many of the insurgency groups we are dealing with today. The same thing would happen if you gave freed slaves complete control of local police departments, they would ostensibly fire the majority of the white officers. Secondly, the idea of abolishing the southern states, and creating new ones is preposterous. People take pride in calling where they come from and they take pride in calling themselves Texans, Virginians, etc. If you did both of these conjointly even with how…
“And so it was all over. I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people’s dream died there. It was a beautiful dream.” (218) These were the words that Black Elk spoke of the dream that he and his people had of a country where they were allowed to live free and happy as they had before the white men invaded their territory. The Indians that Black Elk encountered in his lifetime all had only a simple dream to be able to live as they pleased. They…
I am a great hunter. I wonder if I am going to be on tv. I hear the bucks clanging together. I see an enormous buck. I want to hang a big rack on my wall.…
Long before the white man appeared, Native Americans owned the great and vast lands, relying on and praising the Great Spirit for sun, rain, and life. Upon crossing the seas, the white man was welcomed and befriended. As the white men grew in numbers, so did their appetite for land and control. The Caucasians brought contention, confusion, distrust, and problems. As though all of this were not enough, they also brought a new, "superior" religion. Red Jacket, an eloquent chiefly orator, finally spoke up for the Native population in his Speech of Red Jacket, the Seneca Chief to a Missionary. Red Jacket effectively appeals to pathos using comparison, sufficiency, and tone to convince white missionaries that Native Americans do not wish to worship as the white man, to destroy his religion, or to take it from him; but only to enjoy their own.…
Bush, in his speech post 911, explicitly expressed the idea “you are either with us or against us” (3). He clearly determined to start the war on terror as a direct confrontation between two entities known as “us and them”, which has last for more than decades. This definition of two entities as shown could mean multiple confrontations including theocracy vs. secularism, and modern vs. pre-modern mentioned above. In fact, though these confrontations are still in place, they are in fact no longer solid because of the trend of globalization. While physical borders still hold and play an important role in international relations, realistically speaking, the ongoing trend of globalization obfuscates the old borders in all aspects including demographic borders, religious borders. The unclear border of the population results in difficulties in defining ourselves. A…
Before the founding of America, the Natives in the Iroquois Constitution were a prime example of how to run a nation. They had a constitution that help maintain peace in their nation for their people, and people in their nation were respectful majority of the time. This is something that America wanted for their people. They wanted freedom and equality for their nation therefore, they would look at Iroquois constitution as an example of how to have that for their nation. In the Declaration of Independence, it states “We must therefore acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind enemies in war, in peace friends” (Jefferson 13). This quote shows how they wanted to end their separation with the British and create peace between them and have peace in their nation. It also states “that as free independent states they have full power to levy war conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce and to do all other acts and thing which independent states may right do” (Jefferson 14). Peace was one of the main parts of what America wanted for themselves which is similar to Iroquois constitution. Having solitude in their nation would lead them into a successful union which is why the Iroquois Constitution had their constitution called the Great Peace showing how important…

Abraham Lincoln uses many different language techniques in his speech ‘The Gettysburg Address’, these techniques help engage the audience into what is being asked from them. These language techniques are: Positive and Negative Connotation, Personal Pronouns and Repetition. These demonstrate the Rhetorical Triangle: Pathos, Ethos and Logos.…
The impact of the 2016 DNC speech was left on the first night of the convention. According to Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post (2016), there were more than 28 hours of live programming over the four days of the Democratic National Convention. Even though, the first lady’s speech came on the first night of the convention, “it held the championship belt against all other for the next three days’’ (Cillizza, 2016). She stood alone amongst the best of the politicians in the Democratic Party as the one who excelled the brightest which left her one question to answer. What does the first lady want to do next? Is it in the elected office or outside?…
It is obvious that the two writers own quite different understandings when they face with the same word---freedom, as I mentioned at the beginning. The writer of AUTHENTIC TEXT OF CHIEF SEATTLE’S TREATY ORATION 1854 shows deep love to his ancestors and the things his ancestors…
