"The crisis" Thomas Paine

Favorite Passage:

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine Patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that Stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

Logos, Ethos, Pathos.

Logos-Paine believes that the only choice is to deal with the problem, not to pretend that it is gone.

Ethos-Paine uses ethics, in the form of religion, using words such as god and hell. He uses these words to persuade the people that god is with them, and he is with them if they rebel.

Pathos-Paine believes passionately that his fight for a revolution because he uses word that invoke emotion such as glory, triumph, hell.

Reflection: It’s amazing what the first Americans had to go through. The author Thomas Pain exploits the harm that the British Empire has done to them, and what will come to them if they dont take action. I was able to determine the Pain used three points in his speech to incourage the People of the colony to revolt. They where Logos, Pathos, and Ethos thus using his logic, his passion, and Ethos.

Diary Entry: Wow, to day I just received The Crisis that our Famous Thomas Pain has wrote. He was able to give us hope that the rebellion against the Brits will succeed. He has told us there is not time to wait we Americans have to take action to protect our selves immediately. He is able to show us what the loyalist have done to us what will happen if we don't change soon

Sincerely, John William
