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.

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.

Rhetorical Devices Forms of Repetition 1.?Anaphora is the repetition of the same word or words at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses, or sentences, commonly in conjunction with climax and with parallelism: To think on death it is a misery,/ To think on life it is a vanity;/ To think on the world verily it is,/ To think that here man hath no perfect bliss. --Peacham 2.?Epistrophe (also called antistrophe) forms the counterpart to anaphora, because the repetition of the same word or words comes at the end of successive phrases, clauses, or sentences: Where affections bear rule, there reason is subdued, honesty is subdued, good will is subdued, and all things else that withstand evil, for ever are subdued. --Wilson
