Analysis Of The Article The American Crisis By Thomas...

Paine is Temporary but Pride is Forever The article by Thomas Paine comes from the collection his work titled The American Crisis. In it Paine uses numerous rhetorical strategies to persuade the American colonists to secede from Great Britain. Through his use of ethos and logos Paine is able to connect with his audience emotionally and logically. He also calls on their patriotism and belief in God to commit his audience to his cause. His work addresses the concerns he has about the oppressive British Empire controlling the colonies. Paine’s article is appropriately titled The American Crisis. Therefore, his audience is the American colonists. The tone Paine has is highly impassioned. His use of strong embellishing language helps emphasize the importance of his cause. He capitalizes words such as â€Å"freedom† â€Å"tax†, â€Å"now† and â€Å"God† to show that they are key subjects. Paine first connects with his audience emotionally by using an appeal to the colonial’s patriotism. Paine’s article begins with one of his most famous quotes, â€Å"These are times that try men’s soul†. He makes this statement to prove to his audience that he is aware of the difficulties that Americans will face. He is aware that the â€Å"sunshine patriot† will â€Å"shrink from service† in the midst of these challenging times. However, he promises â€Å"love and thanks† for those men who can â€Å"stand it†. Paine guarantees the soldiers who will stay that they will receive glory as proof that their goals were worth their sacrifices.Show MoreRelatedComparison of Thomas Paine and Patrick Henry: Revolutionary Tract876 Words   |  4 Pagesof these inflictions, Thomas Paine and Patrick Henry addressed these injustices, and proved to be very persuasive through providing reasoning and evidence that moved many colonists to believe that to reach contentment and peace the colonies had to rid themselves of British rule.
