Read Paine's "The Crisis" from your book paying special attention to how he uses literary devices to motivate his audience. You should be able to do some good comparison and contrasting with Henry, Jefferson, and even Franklin.
This following assignment is a chart that will allow you to begin preparing for your next major paper. Since the chart will be due on Tuesday, I recommend getting started on it over the weekend.
You are writing a paper with the following thesis:
Colonial authors used a variety of literary devices to persuade their audience to separate from the English. (The POA for this paper will be the authors’ names OR the names of the document.)
The authors you are writing on will be: Henry, Jefferson, and Paine.
You must create a chart that lists three examples of literary devices that each author uses to persuade his audience. The first column will be the author's name. The second will be the 3 quotations for each author that shows them using a literary device. The third column will explain the effect that specific example is having on the reader, and how it persuades them.
A sample of the chart is available here.
