Adam B. Summers, in his essay Bag Ban Bad For Freedom and Environment, effectively utilizes numerous stylistic and literary devices that persuade the reader. Summers utilizes facts, disproves various counter arguments and uses logical and emotional reasoning to persuade the reader to agree to his claim. However, Summers’ argument falls short due to the lack of power, as he holds no highly esteemed position of power. This, in addition to his colloquialism, intimates that he is just a layman and tells the reader that the source is not to be trusted.

After watching Tecumseh’s Vision, I became more knowledgeable about the struggles Natives had to experience as western civilization occurred. Tecumseh was a trailblazer to his people and was a visionary. He was in favor of a strong Indian confederacy and was a strong Indian leader. As a result of rising tensions between the Shawnees and the Americans, it lead to a costly culmination of battles in order to claim Ohio land and westward expansion. Tecumseh’s legacy lives on and he is remembered for his leadership and courage to take on the Americans.
The Trail of Tears is undoubtedly one of the most inhumane events in U.S history. It all started with the Indian removal act enforced by President Andrew Jackson. The U.S military were ordered to forcefully evict many innocent people and have them walk extremely long distances during excruciating weather. Many Indians dropped dead in the midst of the trail causing grief for the Indians hence, its name Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears was an abomination for the U.S due to the fact that this act was unconstitutional,caused mass genocide, and the land had originally belonged to the natives.

The event that I have chosen is the Freedom Rides, which started May 4, 1961 and ended December 10, 1961. The Freedom Rides were inspired by the Greensboro Sit-ins, and started with 13 African American and Caucasian protestors riding buses into the segregated south to challenge the lack of enforcement to the Supreme Court ruling that segregated buses were unconstitutional. While the activists were peaceful the local law enforcement and people against their message were not. The activists were beaten at several stops along their journey from Anniston to Birmingham with chains, bricks, and bats by Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members in Alabama, and activists that were injured would be refused hospital treatment. Bull Connor, Commissioner of Public Safety
Throughout the history of the United States, there generally have been dozens of particularly social movements, which is fairly significant. From the African American Civil Rights Movement in 1954 to the feminism movement in 1920, protests for all intents and purposes have helped these groups basically earn rights and fight injustice in a really major way. Some injustices that these groups face range from lack of voting rights to police brutality, or so they essentially thought. The indigenous people of North America aren’t actually immune to these injustices, basically contrary to popular belief. Back in the 1968, the American Indian Movement generally was formed to for all intents and purposes give natives security and peace of mind in a

However, The Man ignores The Old Timer's advice and continues his journey anyway with such determination. Through only this short preview of the story we are able to understand the strong use of a naturalist
Payload Specialists Holly Bombardier and Trenton Sage had three objectives: deliver Lunar Energy’s helium-3 drill, set it up, and return home to Earth. Little did they know that their three-month stay on the burgeoning International Lunar Base on the moon would turn indefinite from the destruction of a Chinese government satellite, which caused a chain reaction of debris collisions. The debris field orbiting Earth would prevent their safe return to Earth. They must assume the roles of “Lunarian Astronauts” on the Base and face the insurmountable challenges of surviving, along with the crew, in an extraterrestrial environment. They must help in clearing up the debris and contribute to the prosperity of the Base—their new home.
