British Imperialism: A Literary Analysis

He uses this to show that the colonists need to get stronger now before it's too late and the british take over. They don't want they british there so they have to fight to get them out.

The British did not want to go to war, but they had no choice. They were more concerned

By using a somber and ominous tone, “cover our water and darken our land” describes the British’s intentions in a negative light (Henry ). It becomes obvious that the damage the British can do is exceptionally immense. This simulates trepidation and thus the proposal for war becomes more desirable. In addition to the frightening image of destruction, Patrick Henry continually mentions “there is no longer… hope” in order to provoke emotions (Henry 4). With little faith, the thought of war becomes enticing as he reassures their chances of victory.

5) He is warning that he knows that the British military is strong but America would fight to the last moment also if you attack your own country men the whole House of Bourbon will be united against you

H.G Wells and Ray Bradbury both portray a world under attack by aliens, as stated previously. However while the two authors both depict alien invasions, each author portrays the reactions of these characters in contrasting ways. While Wells shows that the characters weren’t frantic, in fact they were prepared for the invasion, Bradbury’s characters were fearful and were ‘playing

In document #5 the colonists just want peace they don't want to keep fighting with British’s anger tempered King of England forever. In the text, it states “no man was a warmer wish for a peace settlement than myself”. This shows how they should be justified in declaring war against Great

Patrick Henry also implies that Great Britain is actively subjugating the colonists by asking whether Great Britain has “any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies.” Patrick Henry urges the delegation to conduct military action immediately lest it loses its chance by asking whether the

The alien's have not meddled with the destruction of a civilization in millions of years, but they found they could not allow the complex human being to become extinct. However, because humans are intelligent to a fault without actively questioning authority and have a tendency to be

In the essay Plain Truth, James Chalmers believed that the colonies could not win a war against England, because Chalmers believes that America’s army is not strong enough to fight against the British. Chalmers recalls from Common Sense how it mentions that America has the largest disciplined army under the heaven, but if that is the truth, America wouldn’t need support from either Spain or French. Also, neither Spain or French would help America, because if they did, it would encourage their royal colonies to fight for their independence as well. America by its own power at this stage without the help of other countries would not be strong enough to be able to go against the British. Chalmer also mentions how common people would not fight

America, a young and inexperience nation, comes clamoring right into the world, fresh out of its revolution and into the large world of foreign relations. Of course no would respect this new nation and patronize it like was a little kid thinking it was able to act as an adult. In Document 2, John C. Calhoun, a war hawk who were congressmen that begged for war, states,” Protection and patriotism are reciprocal… if [the British] persist in such daring insult to injury to [the United States], it will be bound in honor and interest to resist”(Document 2). He depicts in this quote that America is nothing but a joke to the powerful foreign nations across the Atlantic and that we must show to them that we will not condone such an act. He also illustrates that we must prove to not only ourselves but the other nations that we are strong and independent. The absoluteness of this topic is nothing but bound by the actions of the British and we must take out the spine and fill back up with

The colonists realize that Britain has done a great deal of work for us in order to keep us alive. We expect Britain to remain protective of us in return for our loyalty. (1)Plain Truth written by James Chalmers (Candidus) states, “...and the protection of Great Britain will secure us peace…” This quote supports how the colonists need Britain to keep them from harm. With Britain’s protection, it is easier for their to be peace between the two sides (Britain and the colonists). If Britain refuses to protect the colonists, it creates conflict because the colonists will feel that Britain is doing nothing for them and that we don’t need them for anything. This will most likely result in rebellion from the colonists. On the whole, we the colonists expect Britain to uphold the same amount of consideration for our protection as

Following the defeat of France, Hitler attention is to invade the Britain whom the only nation left in Western Europe oppose him.As a result, British government encourages civilians to prepare for Air raid defense as resulted of relocating needed.The use of air warfare had a terrifying emotional effect. The relocating process showed the nation presses success in communicating notice out to people.

    To understand how the ‘other side,’ or the different race, feels, it is important to consider their perspective. Bradbury delves into this in “Mars is Heaven!” when he addresses how the Martians view the incoming humans. The protagonist of his story considers that “Just suppose that there were Martians living on Mars and they saw our ship coming and saw us inside our ship and hated us” (219). The author points to how human beings may view Martians as otherworldly savages, although they may feel the same

Conflict: This is where I ran into a little bit of an issue. Technically the main conflict of the story would be man vs. the Martian society or simply man vs. aliens. However I believe there to be a certain element of man vs. himself or his own mind. The earth crew was desperately trying to figure things out, scrambling for ideas and rationales. If they were hypnotized or brain washed the aliens were responsible, but the aliens more than likely fed off feelings and wants that already laid within the minds of the crew. The desire to see them again, the memories and thoughts of the families and friends and what not, but that is just my opinion.

In The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury there are many differences between humans and martians. One of the biggest ones, aside from the obvious being from different planets, physical appearance, and telepathy is that the humans want everything to do with the martians while the martians want nothing to do with the humans. This is shown by the humans knocking on doors constantly and even just walking into a martians house in “The Earth Men” and by the martians ignoring or even killing the humans before they even interact with them much.
