In a letter to him, Abigal Adams writes to advise her son, John Quincy Adams, of the benefits that may be reaped from his reluctant voyage to France with John Adams and his brother. Abigal Adams primarily utilizes her maternal influence over her son to rhetorically enforce her statements. Adams also appeals to her son’s ego by stressing how his intellectual and diplomatic capabilities, while already vast, could be greatly broadened by these worldly experiences. Adams begins her letter by first establishing herself as more capable of predicting what opportunities would be good for John Quincy Adams. With the line “If I thought… or that you were capable of judging what was most for your own benefit…” Adams suggests that her son is not as able…

Fantastic Civil War letter from the Trans-Mississippi department. This letter was written two days before the Battle of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, which Travis and his unit participated in.

Shaw, Dodge Co, Wisconsin Cape Girardeau, Mo, Apr 24/63 “Dear Sarah I take my pen to write a few lines to you according to promise but not as soon as I ought to have done.

“Work of this kind has a disagreeable side, which is the unavoidable killing of women and children; but it must be done,” General Leonard Wood wrote in a private letter to Roosevelt. The actions of the American soldiers chagrined me. The massacre should have vexed Americans throughout the country, but instead, they were proud and believed that this “battle” upheld the honor of the American flag.…
Confederate general, Robert E. Lee, in his letter, narrates his anguished thoughts pertaining to the conflicts between the North and South. Lee’s main objective is to express his extreme grief when seeing the Union in its current state of unease as well as to voice the plight of secession and ultimately civil war. He employs the uses of several rhetorical strategies including: doleful diction, hyperboles, and historical remembrance to efficaciously illustrate his feelings of melancholy towards troubles being faced by the country he loves dearly. Lee utilizes doleful diction in his letter through the incorporation of words that express the dreadful nature of emotions brought on by the possibility of a civil war.…
Throughout the struggles to transform success into failure, there are many obstacles to overcome. During the American Revolution, loving and proud mother, Abigail Adams, composes a letter to her son, John Quincy Adams, to explain that failure will create success as long as he can overcome anything that may stand in his way. In order to clarify the importance to her son's success, Adams constructs a proud tone, historical allusions, and adventurous metaphors. Within this letter, Adams compares her son to other historical figures to create connections by constructing allusion. She questions her son by asking, "Would Cicero have shone so distinguished if he had not been roused, kindled, and enflamed..."…
I wish that whomever finds this letter will read it and share it with your people. This letter, I hope, gives you insight into these troubled times we’re living in. As a women, gender inequality has been brought to my attention many a time. In an earlier letter that I wrote to my husband John Adams, I stated “...by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies.” I talked about this in my letter because in that time I was one of the only women who was speaking up about my own rights.…

In the letter written by Abigail Adams to her son, John Quincy Adams, while he is traveling overseas, it is very evident that persuasion can be a very delicate but powerful tool. Throughout her letter, she outlines a standard that her son must live up to while also reminding him of the benefits that come with the trip as well. Abigail Adams skillfully uses her motherly influence to instill ideas in her son that ultimately convinced him of the valuable experiences that he will gain on his journey abroad. Abigail Adams opens her letter by saying “I hope you have had no occasion, either from enemies or dangers of the sea” (1-2).…
Wallace Stegner’s “Wilderness Letter” portrays the importance of wilderness. Wilderness has always held a different meaning as a child for me it held another world. Playing outside, going to wildlife reserves, and watching shows like “Zoboomafoo” that taught about different animals and their habitat all played a part in my love for it. Experiencing the outdoors should be something that is dome willingly to detach and refresh. The Internet has slowly taken that away from children because instead of going outdoors time is spent staring at screens.…

Tell Marco that he has to be strong. Tell him that I will be back to play again and explore the mountains as I promised the day I left to war.…
I am writing you on a recommendation from Mrs. Bonnita Spikes. I met Bonnita through my involvement with the abolishment of the death penalty in Maryland and during my tenure as Chairperson of the Board of Directors for Maryland Citizens Against State Execution (MDCASE). The reason for my letter is to submit to you a letter from my son, Mr. Donald Leroy Brown, currently incarcerated at the Maryland Department of Corrections, Western correction Institution, in Cumberland, Maryland. I have been fighting for Donald’s freedom for over 25 years. So many times I could see freedom for Donald and each time it has been snatched away.…
It’s been a journey to remember and it has taught me that I can survive, I can learn, and I can adapt. I continued my courageous year by returning to the land of residential treatment. It was not how I remembered. The once stringent guidelines regarding high risk offenders had softened as the treatment became more and more corrections based, as state funded insurance does not cover this level of care. I was grateful for the work…
