The writers of the revolution wrote to make people feel certain feelings. There are two ways they did this, Thomas Paine wrote to bring out emotion, Thomas Jefferson wrote to appeal to the reader on an intellectual level, and Patrick Henry found the perfect balance in his “Give me liberty or give me death speech”. Thomas Paine wrote a series of pamphlets titled Common Sense. In these pamphlets he scares the reader into being for the revolution. In The Crisis No.1 he writes “Let them call me a rebel, and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery devils were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man.”

Humans start to realize that there is nothing they can do to truly escape death, and death starts to be a big part of their lives. It surrounds the world in all aspects of life.
