us watch the sunset too”. It all means something, because Pony Boy is trying to figure out why the Socs are always trying to fight the Greasers and why they don’t all get along and make agreements.

a speech on why Virginia should join the war for independence. In the speech above, Patrick Henry seemed very focused on convincing the audience that Great Britain is their enemy, and they should fight against them. I believe that Patrick Henry gave this speech so that he could ignite a spark in Virginia and get them to join the war. In the beginning of the video, Henry gives Virginia reasons why they should find Britain in the wrong, and helps them to understand why they should fight against…

terrorist group that is going around killing people for no reason. In many recent interviews people are saying that Isis will stop if we give them job opportunities.

However it has been questioned whether or not comic book heroes are mainly American and portray American culture only.

other possible motives for it?” (Henry, pg. 81). What Henry is asking is simple; why are we going war with Great Britain if their purpose is not to make us submit to them? There is only one correct answer and it is that that is Great Britain’s purpose for going to war. Great Britain wants America to submit to their forces and deem their country superior.With that said, Paine goes on to say “By perseverance and fortitude we have the prospect of a glorious issue; by cowardice and submission, the…

the population. That means you had a 90 percent chance of living through the winter. That is a huge percentage. Why were men so scared to get sick? If they went home they still had the potential threat of getting sick and affecting the whole family. Men were needed at that time. Soldiers were deserting. Enlistments expired. Nine-month men’s nine months were up and they were going home. Why leave if there is a small chance of you getting ill and dying. Yes there are other threats, but illness was…
