Erica Gonzales Mrs. Wilhite English 10 Pre-AP 3 March 2012 To Fight or Not to Fight: America?s Choice The Crisis is a collection is a collection of essays written during the American Revolutionary War by Thomas Paine. The first essay of The Crisis addresses the crisis the Americans were facing during that time. In ?The Crisis No. 1?, Paine motivates Americans to stand up and help America gain independence from Britain by employing words of encouragement and assurance that the fight will be worth their freedom and by insisting that the British king?s tyranny will cause them to suffer if they do not attempt to help defend their nation.

Bradshaw History 1302 6pm-7:20pm Chapter 25 Essay 1. I believe that Herbert Hoover was rejected because of the timing of the depression. Though there were signs that the economy wasn?t going well, nothing bad happened until Hoover became president, and the American public looked to him to solve the problem immediately, but it wasn?t possible. Areas that were normally Republican but voted for Roosevelt was citizens in the west, north, and northeast. This signifies that the Depression was the most important issue of the election among almost all citizens.

Glossary of Literary and Rhetorical Terms ?AP Literature and Composition ?100(give or take) terms that will help you score a 5 on the AP Exam Abstract Language - Language describing ideas and qualities rather than observable or specific things, people, or places.

This is a more direct and preferred style of writing in most cases, but not all. (example: The boy grabbed his books and went to school).See also, Passive Voice Ad hominem - Latin for "against the man". When a writer personally attacks his or her opponents instead of their arguments. It is an argument that appeals to emotion rather than reason, feeling rather than intellect.

Rhetorical Analysis #2 In Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, she describes how Americans have progressively become crueler to wildlife animals. Her argument states that more wildlife is being killed by extermination poisonings and that these poisons are affecting not only the animals but humans as well. This piece, being written in the early 1960s, fits with what was going on in America at the time because America was so involved in foreign affairs with the Soviet Union and was so used to this brutality (being a while after World War II) that they weren’t so focused on the environment anymore, just how they were going to get their crops and such. That being said, the audience that Carson is addressing is Americans who have forgotten about the beauty and meaning that nature holds.

Mr. Gunnar AP English Language and Composition ?How to Detect Propaganda? Adapted from: The Institute for Propaganda Analysis, 1937 If Americans are to have a clear understanding of present-day conditions and what to do about them, they must be able to recognize propaganda, to analyze it, and to appraise it. But what is propaganda? As generally understood, propaganda is expression of opinion or action by individuals or groups deliberately designed to influence opinions or actions of other individuals or groups with reference to predetermined ends.
