Summary:

 This letter is talking about the colonies. It also talks about some kind of regulation that the English send. About all the english men who where decendants to their country. All the Atachments that John send were favoring the Englsih men!

Literary terms: 

• "It is to this infirmity, in my own heart, that I must perhaps attribute that local attachment, that partial fondness, that overweening prejudice in favour of New England, which I feel very often and which I fear sometimes, leads me to expose myself to just ridicule” (John Adams, 681).

  
  

  This quote represents the Rhetorical Device, Appeal to Emotions. John Adams is trying to portray the idea that he feels fear for something’s. In this case he said what he feels, and is trying to make the reader understand how he felt and why. This would make the reader understand that he personally felt this emotion! He also relies on representing his thought in an emotional way! 

  
  

  
  
• •“New England has in many respects the advantage of every other colony in America, and indeed of every other part of the world, that I know anything of” (John Adams, 681)

  
  

  In this other quote, the Rhetorical Device used is persuasion. At the time in which this quote is said, the content that follows it, is the conjucture of what he is trying to pursuade Abigail on understanding. He gives 5 points in which he explains various things to Abigail! He is trying to convince in the whole letter! It is important because in all the letter John in trying to convinve and to show his points to Abigail. 

Blog Post 4: "We love The British"

          Mr. President: why should the idea of liberty came across the mind of our people. Have they not notice the great advantages that the British have given us upon their protection, and their knowledge? This has not to be the time for refusal and independence when we are yet beginning to know what we are really going to face upon our enemies or allies, the Indians? Yet we know little about the land we are living upon. Have you all not notice how our life have changed and how we have changed their lives? Our colonies are all dependant to this nation, for which we are in debt for giving us the opportunity of at least being here, and yet this man want to rebel against the and look for freedom!

          Freedom is yet a strong word to be using along now a day. We are yet not ready for an independent stage in this place we are living. It would be too risky to be left alone and with no protection and no Tea! Have you yet see a British in these colonies who do not drink any tea? By declaring independence we would cancel all treaties with the British nation, and this will bring chaos to our people. We are not formally settled in this continent, which will leave us in the air. We can not be subsiding our own colonies with our own production yet! We are not that powerful, and until we are they are the only ones willing to help us.

          The idea that Mr. Patrick inducted of being yet slaves of the British is obnoxious. From my point of view, we are only serving our queen and king, we are not being slaves, and yet they are still giving us the protection that we need. Being a slave for the British army is much better than being a slave for the Indians. We were told about the lady who got kidnapped by those animals, and it was said that she suffered with this people. It is also said that she was not only treated as an animal, but was seen and put to work like one. I would totally agree that we are being slaves of the British queen and king, but I would prefer to serve the Queen and king, than to serve as this matter to the people that we yet don’t know, and that kill our people, and our home.

          Mr. President, and everybody else that is speaking up for the liberty, start thinking! What is going to be our destiny if we are left alone with no military support, and with no help or care of the king and Queen? What will be of the families that will loose all they have because they where not protected and the Indians came and attacked them. Will we be able to live alone, and yet be receiving threats from the Indians? What will be our destiny if we can not over come the power of so many people who are willing to kill us as soon as the militaries are gone? Think about how your family will live, and what changes will begin to come to our so suffered economy. If being the path of slavery the one which will protect my family, then let it be for me and for ones who follow.

Blog Post #3: 'A surprise for the people'

By: Jean Luc Miralda

                    People of the Nation; it is time for us people, to have a change. We need to be granted freedom by somebody, an impartial person who could make great decisions for which the country and every nation will be satisfied. I state today, that the people should know that any kind of person has a regime of corruption, and may be exposed to the influence of other persons, and for this and many other reasons, I have thought: Why not remove the existing person commanding our country, and place this famous but yet very intelligent animal, which everybody calls “Paul”?

                    Yes in deed, and octopus as our president would be the most impressive, and outstanding remark ever done to our people. You maybe think its crazy, but it is all the way around. Think about it this way. He will not be corrupt. There is no way that this octopus can be corrupted by any person of the congress can play a special part in any of his verdicts. He will be the cleanest and yet most popular president that has ever come around the people of this world. If yet it he also presents many advantages, for which the people should know what is the best decision they could make for the major coop that this country should do.

As you can see this is one of his predictions and an example of how he elect th people!

                    If you still don’t know why to vote for him then get ready for this. Little genius, and I call him is not only non-corruptible, but yet he is a wizard. He can predict anything for anybody and it has been proven that his efficiency is up in a 9/10 range, which means that this is the kind of animals that we are looking for; an animal that can make the right decisions for the people. As if this was not enough, his international relationships and popularity can produce a high increment of truism and of political power over other countries, and yet still be in hand for any person of the nation who would have liked to visit him at any time and try to get a suggestion or a help area between them.

The people after recieving the news. (My audience)

                    Given the opportunities of this great massive regeneration of our president, there will be people who would not want to follow us, but that’s ok. If you do not like the regimen that this wizard octopus will enforce to you, than you are more than welcome to leave the country, or stay under your own risk. His is not against any social groups, or common belief of other people and the freedom of speech will not be removed by this president, but yes it will be, only if the people are exceeding the limits of the disgrace, and the normal civilized people revolts.

                    As the preparations are getting started, so should the people be told, so that this process would be very transparent and will have its maximum efficiency over the laws and always thinking about the people. Yet we are challenging you to accept this challenge, and to try and se how much your family, your business, and everything you have will change into a more outstanding and beneficial rate.
