In this letter written by Abigail Adams, she goes on to use a very delicate and understanding tone in order to comfort and advise her son John Quincy Adams in his second voyage to France. With this in mind, the audience can be determined to be John Quincy Adams. The whole purpose of this letter is to help Quincy cope with his emotions and perspective of his parents' decision on accompanying his father on this trip. The reason for this is because Quincy finds it to be very useless since he sees the journey to be a grounding rather than an opportunity to learn something new. This feeling of punishment felt by Quincy is the occasion why Abigail chose to write to Quincy. Long story short, the letter goes on to talk in detail about how this voyage could be more beneficial to Quincy than harmful to his future.

Although, each one talks about the love towards one another they both have different ways of expressing it.

In the text, “Letter to Queen Victoria”, written by Lin Zexu in 1839, he implores the Queen of Great Britain, Queen Victoria, to stop her subjects from selling opium to the Chinese public. Zexu does so by exemplifying the past relationship of China and Britain, by moral persuasion, and by warnings and threats. However, Lin Zexu’s assumption of calling British subjects as Barbarian and compliant to Chinese rule ineffectively persuades.
“The use of knowledge in our sex, besides the amusement of solitude, is to moderate the passions, and learn to be contented with a small expense...it may be preferable even to that fame which men have engrossed themselves, and will not suffer us to share.”

It can be easily said that the intended audience for this letter was to Marie Antoinette’s mother, Maria Theresa the empress of Austria. Marie states several times throughout the letter of her many thanks to her mother for the reciprocating letters. The excitement in Marie’s tone is evident that she is astonished, despite the chaotic excitement upon their arrival, the amount of order there is. Marie is overjoyed that despite the hardships that the peasants faced, such as taxes, they remain loyal to her and her husband Louis, and show their affection with cheering and excitement. In response to the love that they received, Marie makes a point to tell her mother that the dauphin and herself wished the citizens not to be harmed despite the fact that they were unable to move for hours from the sheer masses of people who gathered upon their arrival.

The topic of Mexican immigration recently made headlines again when republican presidential candidate Donald Trump released a 3 page statement detailing his blunt beliefs on Mexican immigrants. Trump’s blunt statements against Mexican immigration have led many to join the discussion of Mexican immigration. The views on the issue vary, some believe that Mexicans are the route to all of America’s unemployment trouble while others believe Mexican’s simply take jobs American’s refuse to take. Either way, there are nearly twenty four million people of Mexican decent living in the United States that have started their own communities which contribute to American society. Many American’s however, refuse to accept this and are still prosecuting Mexican’s. This can be seen in the media, public schools, and in the work place.

He can’t, the author describes what he wants. Maybe the King’s mistress is looking at the viewer to alert the viewer that she knows he is watching
Apart from his physical strength, Sherlock is also incomparable in mental strength. His intelligence is the key in his career and he possesses a vast knowledge too. He immediately recognizes the true identity the King of Bohemia in “A Scandal in Bohemia”, proving that he has knowledge in politics contrary to Dr Watson’s belief that Sherlock ignores politics.
