Abigail Adams to John Adams (Classical Parallels)

This letter, from abigail adams to his husband, john adams is just talking about how she misses him. That she is very worried about him and that she cannot think of anything else but about him and whatever horrority that could happen to him on his work as delegate. She also tells him about their friend Mrs. Warren and how she gives to him the best wishes as friend and patriot. Another thing she says is that one of the only things that distracts her is reading "Rolling´s acient history" and that she has fun reading it with their son, Johnny. At last she taks to him about how weather has been and how much she wants to hear from him; that she and their son miss him and give him blessings.


Rethorical Divices:

1. Emotion: "the great anxiety I feel for my country, for you and for our family renders the day tedious, and the night unpleasent."(Abigail Adams 676)
This quote is stating what the whole letter is about. Of how she feels being with her family but without his husband, how she misses him and how she is worried about him and  worried about the country and how he is going to help it.

2. Restatement: "I am determined to go thro  with it if possible in these my days of solitude."(Abigail Adams 676)
This quote is important to the entire letter because she repeats her self a couple of times of how she misses him and that she feels lonely so she needs to do what she can to get her mind off that for a while.

Blog #4 Refusing Patrick Henry

Mr. President: In a refutable but in a respectful manner of what Mr. Henry said  in his previous speech, we the British have no problem for them trying to fight against us for their “freedom”, they really know that there is no freedom to be gained because no colonist has his own freedom to display. The real truth here is that the colonists relay on us and even though they don´t want to accept it and they thinking that we are taking their freedom, it is not true. How do they think they are going to live your lives without us, without our power and our government controlling them? There is no war to be held and their should be a reconciliation among us, bringing us together to work this out together because we are not here to oppress the colonists, we just want to help them; are we the ones who want to continue with this temporarily war? The colonist should trust on us, and believe their petitions will somehow be made. Our ministry will give them the hope they ask for so they do not say more of it. We are not going to try to oppress them anymore and we will not consider them our enemies, and we know a war has been coming between us but don´t we want to stop it as well? We will free them out of the chains of liberty they say we have held them from but we won´t also free them from the union we both should take. We are listening and we will listen to their arguments and to every opposition they make to us. Is it time for both to change? We recognize the mistakes we have made in the past and we understand them feeling oppressed but none of this will continue happening. War is not the solution for the colonists, because a war being held will be in favor for us and there is no way this problem between us is going to stop and don´t you think all of us including you sir with al respect, are tired of this too, even though we shut our mouths? Sir, I want you to understand that being in the position which the colonists are is of becoming reckless and of no hope but to become wild and create war, do we want ten more years of it? It is not of a human being treating another as a slave and letting it supplicate for freedom, we are all the same, is their a better way to understand this? We should stop this sir, stop the conflict and forgive each other and forget of the idea of creating this war. The colonists are as strong as us, and we united will be the best partners because of all this time dealing with each other. For the colonists, if they accept my solutions for this conflict, we both will sacrifice the same things; we will unite the same way with everyone, have the same respect with everyone among us and forgive each other for everything to live in an equal place for every one among us.

Plan to change the world blog #3

In these moments we are living in, the world is a place where the majority of the people with big problems like economic problems, are not happy with how their lives are in the country they are living in. So the idea being purposed today is to persuade this people, mostly of Central America, of not leaving to the United States specifically, as migrants and then stay their illegally. This idea is for these people to understand that going to the United States is not going to make a better life for them. Their are so many problems given because of this. What these people need to do to get to the U.S. is to first cross the borders from their country to the country next to them illegally until they get to Mexico and then they need to do the same to get to the U.S. They cross borders illegally and so, what it is that has been taken out of this is that in the borders, in the process of doing all these, many gangs and drug trafficking or any kind of drug dealers have been around and so people are getting killed. This is not really what they want but they are so desperate of getting out of their country they risk themselves doing this, but they should understand that it is going to be better for them and for their children if they are with any, to stay in their own country even though they have issues, because this issues will become bigger, extremely bigger in the U.S. Being their illegally is their first problem, trying to get away from the government without any notice that they are living their as illegal immigrants. The other problem is they think they are going to be living better economically but they do not realize that it is going to be harder and tougher for them to get a good job their, that will maintain them the same way or better then in their country. If these people have any children it would be so much difficult for them to put them on a good school in the U.S. instead of just putting them in a public school on their country. If these people continue on doing this, then more people will be killed and more people will live their lives miserably and the worst is that the world will continue to be a bad and non safe place. So, what should be made for this problem to stop is for this people to have more opportunities of better jobs, with a better living in their own country but, how can this be made? Well, the government should give more resources to the poor people in their country so that they are comfortable with the way they live and after doing all these thing that will change not only the persons life but the entire country, if there is a small amount of people that are still trying to live the country, they should do what is possible to not let them for the sake of the country and for the sake of these unsatisfied citizens.
