for independence was a just war, because they were fighting for their freedom. However, sometimes people fight in a just war for the wrong reason. I do not believe that William Wallace, as he is portrayed in Braveheart, was fighting for the right reasons. He was not fighting for the freedom of his country or people.

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.

The next tool Wallace employs is an informal and honest through tone diction and word choice. Wallace uses phrases like “just sucks,” “I’m gonna be pissed,” “The story [thing] turns out to be one of the better, less bullshitty conventions of the genre,” and “that special intensity that comes after about the fourth beer” (). Usually using language like that would tear down a person’s character and credibility instantly. However for Wallace, it is used greatly to his advantage. Many times…
