After reading the Willie Lynch letter, I found his theory fascinating. When I say fascinating I don’t mean that in a good way. The fact that he came up was able to come up with a whole system for controlling his slaves proves to you that he was a very intelligent man. However, the only reason why his system was so successful was due to the fact that slaves weren’t allowed any access to education. I guarantee you if African American were allowed the right to read or any type of access to education like Caucasians at the time, then his system for controlling them would have been ineffective.…

In my letter to Mr. Woodlock, I was able to incorporate all three elements of rhetoric: ethos, pathos, and logos. I used ethos by adding a study done by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, which shows that physical education classes are beneficial to students in many ways. Since that association is a credible source, it is an ethos. I used pathos by adding that students these days are just spending most of their school day sitting in a chair. Students need a way to relieve their stress and anxiety, which may lead to many problems.…
In recollection of the Puritan time, in the poem “To the Honorable T.H., Esq; on the Death of His Daughter” to me it’s Neoclassical because in that time a letter in the memory of someone would be Neoclassical, not Puritan. The reader should be able to detect which era this poem came from by the literature between Puritan and Neoclassical. Puritans literature was more in the context of the bible and by strictly by God’s faith. Neoclassical literature was more well-rounded to me as if has so many more elements such as allusions, aphorisms and wit. The poem also has similarities to Puritan and Neoclassical era which I will explain more below.…

Most Christians have at times experienced a “crisis of faith” due to new contrasting ideals that may provoke questions (Carroll, 409). Entering college for the first time is a vulnerable time for anyone who has been brought up all their life to think and believe as they are told. College freshman, Alfred Corn, was experiencing this unfortunate crisis. (Carroll, 409) The knowledge we individually obtain throughout our livelihood constantly evolves and adapts to new information and experiences, unfortunately learning too much at times makes us question our current standing beliefs.…

Adrenaline rushed through my tensed body as though I inched toward the edge of a cliff ready to jump off. Governor Hutchinson just rejected our plea to send the Dartmouth back to England, and everyone in Boston couldn’t take much more of England’s petty games of taxation and their seemingly unlimited power over the colonies. Once the governor’s answer came to everyone at the Old South Meetinghouse, I think we all felt something needed to be done to send a message to England that we had enough (Brooks). Being a part of the Sons of Liberty, I knew a plan was being devised no matter the outcome of the Dartmouth situation. We could hear the Dartmouth bellow while coming in to dock, and far off in the distance could be heard the Beaver and the Eleanor.…

The Genius of Fredrick Douglass Fredrick Douglass was an African American slave in the eighteen hundreds who battled his entire life to become a free man, his narrative gave readers the chance to gain insight into what happens to slaves in their country.
