Richard Jemmons Anticipated Troubles

807 Words4 Pages

“Anticipated Troubles” In chapter three, I found it quite interesting to see that Richard Jemmons could and knew to anticipate a problem. He had “everybody slotted” (Anonymous, p. 75), which was also one of his gifted talents to the campaign. As Richard had predicted there is the first anticipated problem that has arrived with the Rob Quiston of the Associated Press’s questions on Jack Stanton being locked up at the “’Lock up your Daughter’s’ demonstration”. (Anonymous, p. 83) The campaign is at a high and there were now 20 in the “scorp zone” (media). (Anonymous, p. 85) Additionally, it was unexpected to see Henry Burton (aka narrator) start a relationship with Daisy Green, but refreshing to see her as such an important player in beating …show more content…

(Anonymous, p. 150) The campaign goes from California back to Boston after a half-hearted speech given to the “second class” rich of Hollywood. When Burton finally gets Stanton alone and submits the newest trouble to the Governor, it is not shocking to hear him ask who knows, how many others, and keep this quite. What I think surprised Henry was how insensitive Stanton really seemed when he stated, “what does he want”. (Anonymous, p. 149) Meeting Henry’s mom and step-dad’s characters will give you an insight as to why he is so stoned faced and able to contain his emotions. It does get my attention when Richard gets on a roll and my favorite quote in this chapter is when he states “America’s Most Fucked-Up Home Videos”. (Anonymous, p. 154) This chapter seems to resin more of we are going to win then loose then “maybe” win again. It is an emotional roller coaster for a reader that I cannot imagine being on a real campaign trail. It finally starts to take shape when he is in the cinder block union building for a funeral and he started to speak to the people about the people. It is as if Stanton finally figured out his true platform and how it is conveyed. The town started to rally around them after that and then when Bill Johnson showed up it seemed to have

Patrick Henry asks if their gracious partition justified the naval fleets and armies that England had stationed in America. He asks what the army’s purpose could be if not to force them into submission. He asks why the colonists stand idle in the face of such undeniable and volatile intent. By asking these questions among others Henry gets his audience to actually consider the circumstances in which they are being treated. Asking them back to back the way that he does reinforces the anger.

In paragraph three, Henry mentions that one of man’s nature to crave for hope although most of the times we ought ourselves to “shut our eyes against a painful truth” such as many of the men at the convention who wished of not revolting against Great Britain although all of them wished of being free and independent away from England. He gave a comparison to most of the people who opposed the idea to revolution as to people who have eyes but do not see, in other words blind people, or people who have ears but do not hear, in other words deaf people due to everything that the 13 colonies have gone through having to deal with all the unfair laws passed by the king and not being able to do anything about

Henry wants the audience to know that if we don't act now and go to war against Britain that we won't have freedom for much longer. That is why he used the rhetorical appeals in his speech because he wants the audience to know how he feels and how they should feel toward the colonists as much as

He says that the colonists ' petition has been received with "an insidious smile". The use of the words "insidious smile" creates an emotional appeal, because it fools the patriots into trusting that the British would take care of their petitions (which they never would), but it really is a set-up to enslave the colonists and keep them under its rules. He also references biblical allusion to create a metaphor between the positive reception of their petitions and the kiss which Judas gave to Jesus before his betrayal. The kiss, appearing to be something affectionate and positive, is, in fact, what eventually causes Jesus ' death. With the uses of the allusion/metaphor, Henry wants to reveal the British pretentious mask, that the British will NOT consider their benefits and ultimately lead to their enslavement and betrayal.

It seemed as if all the elements had conspired to impel me to some onward step. I could not see what to do or where to begin—my only thought was a public meeting for protest and discussion. " This evidence explains that she wanted to try for the women and start small by still express her ideas at the meeting. Elizabeth Cady Stanton found herself with everyday women who didn’t really have the same power she has and she knew she had to do something. She also saw the unjust laws like in the Declaration of Independence how women and men are created equal and that wasn’t followed.

His choice of language is effective at evoking emotion. Through rhetorical questions, Henry was able to emphasize his points, and grab the audience’s attention, creating an emotional effect on the listeners. “Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?” These statements prove the speaker’s argument and stir the audience’s emotions.

He is not interested in the novel until his instructor mentions the critics of the novel and where it should end. Similar to these critics, the class debates whether Twain’s ending draws away from his critique of Racism and Graff found that even famous authors were capable of mistakes that could be found at his level.
