    In the “Speech to the Virginia Convention” (1775) Patrick Henry convinced colonists to fight against Britain; he uses four main rhetorical devices, rhetorical questions, allusions, imagery, and parallelism. Through these devices he softens his tone to get his fiery messages across. With rhetorical questions he suggests the answer he wants the colonists to make. Likewise, as he uses imagery, colonists can better understand the whole picture.…

    John Locke

    John Locke, an Englishman who lived from 1632 to 1704, promoted some of the most influential ideas of the Enlightenment. He pioneered the idea that humans are naturally good, and are corrupted by society or government to becoming deviant. Locke described this idea in hisAn Essay Concerning Human Understanding as the tabula rasa, a Latin phrase meaning blank slate. The idea was not original to him, however. In fact, Locke directly took the idea from a Muslim philosopher from the 1100s, Ibn Tufail. In Ibn Tufails book,Hayy ibn Yaqdhan, he describes an identical idea about how humans act as a blank slate, absorbing experiences and information from their surroundings. The same idea manifests itself in the life of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). He stated that No child is born except on the fitra. Fitra here can be defined as the natural, pure state of a person. According to Islamic thought, all humans are born in a natural state of purity, with belief in one God, and that as they grow older, they adopt the ideas and beliefs of the people around them, particularly their parents. This is the intellectual forerunner of the tabula rasa that Locke learned from Ibn Tufail. Hb(k/LT02goUXVTUsUyTUVFUP…

    These two characteristics appeal more to the physical writing of the documents and appeal less to the meaning of the documents. Often times writers will make use of allusions and metaphors to bring light to an idea that may seem complex or somewhat confusing. Biblical allusions were often used because many people of the Enlightenment era were familiar with characters and stories from the Bible. Thomas Paine frequently used allusions to the Bible, and in Common Sense he alluded to Jesus Christ by writing, “Ye that oppose independence now, ye know not what ye do.” People in the colonies knew how Paine’s allusion showed similarity to a popular Bible story (Fredriksen 187). Paine used a common theme for his metaphors throughout Common Sense. He made a connection between the colonies and a child. Although the colonies were young, they would transform like a child transforms into an adolescent and become independent. Paine used these literary devices to help the common man understand his ideas so that more people can support his plans. Looking beyond the elements of Neoclassicism, Thomas Paine’s document Common Sense provided an interesting look at the Revolutionary spirit of the colonists and how he attempted to motivate them to take action against the…

    One of the strongest ways to voice political opinion is in interpretive writing. It is universally known that history is an integral factor of literature; sometimes, certain political events inspire poets and authors to cleverly voice their opinions regarding the event in ways that require much ambiguity and analysis to completely understand the author’s intentions. Poetic protest is best shown with careful choice of word, punctuation, and capitalization.…

    Madison evokes the feeling of importance from the audience. Through Madison’s emotional appeal the audience is able to identify more with his point of views. “From the weight and magnitude now belonging to it I should be compelled to shrink if I had less reliance on the support of an enlightened and generous people, and felt less deeply a conviction that the war with a powerful nation, which forms so prominent a feature in our situation, is stamped with that justice which invites the smiles of Heaven on the means of conducting it to a successful termination” (Madison par.1). Madison expresses his deep gratitude, highlighting the support and patronage of the voters. In addition, Madison’s use of emotional appeal can be extended to his use of metaphors and symbolism when describing the relation between the Indians and British. “They have not, it is true, taken into their own hands the hatchet and the knife, devoted to indiscriminate massacre, but they have let loose the savages armed with these cruel instruments; have allured them into their service, and carried them to battle by their sides, eager to glut their savage thirst with the blood of the vanquished and to finish the work of torture and death on maimed and defenseless captives” (Madison par.9). Madison’s usage of words such as “savages”, “cruel instruments”, “savage thirst”, and “torture” conjure horror of the Indians as well as in the actions of the British. Bringing about such emotions heightens the anger and disgust of the British and Indians during the War of…

    Celebration of Discipline, by Richard J. Foster, is a comprehensive guide to spiritual disciplines. In this book, Foster addresses twelve main ones (meditation, prayer, fasting, study, simplicity, solitude, submission, service, confession, worship, guidance, and celebration), and shows how we can implement them in our lives. It is only through spiritual practices that we can move from superficial living into deeper lives. To balance our inward and outward lives and overcome our sin, we must first receive the inner righteousness which is a grace given from God. When we allow the Disciplines into daily practices, they allow God to come inside and bring an abundance of God into our lives. Overall, Celebration of Discipline is a true book every Christian ought to read. After having read this book, I am motivated to practice the spiritual discipline of prayer and fasting. According to Foster, prayer is very important because it takes us into perpetual communion with the Father and it is the central avenue for personal examination and change. I chose prayer because prayer was such a big part of my life and it brings positive outpourings in my life. Constant prayer allows me to get closer to God and love the people around me more. Without prayer, I have less tolerance for those I find hard to love, more concern with earthly things, feelings of disconnect with God that I love. In my life, I have never practiced fasting because of my health issues and disbelief in its power. However, Foster encourages me to pursue it as it can bring spiritual breakthroughs that will not happen in any other way. Focusing on those two disciplines, I hope that God can bring spiritual transformation in my life and help me find the true path to spiritual growth. Y, dXiJ(x( I_TS 1EZBmU/xYy5g/GMGeD3Vqq8K)fw9…
