In two different speeches by two different Native American chiefs, Chief Seattle and Red Cloud, a similar topic in that of the removal of Indians by the U.S. government, was addressed. However, the speeches by the two chiefs were very different, in terms of tone, figurative language, and the clarity of their message. In, "On the Red Man's Trail," Chief Seattle used much figurative language, especially similes, to get his point across. Some of the numerous examples are, "Yonder sky that has wept tears of compassion upon our fathers for centuries untold...," (paragraph 1) "My words are like the stars that never set," (paragraph 2) When our young men grow angry at some real or imaginary wrong, and disfigure their faces with black paint, their hearts also are disfigured and turn black...," (paragraph 6) "My people are ebbing away like the fast receding tide that will never flow again," (paragraph 12) and, "Some grim Fate of our race is on the Red Man’s trail, and wherever he goes he will still hear the sure approaching footsteps of his fell destroyer and prepare to stolidly meet his doom, as does the wounded doe that hears the approaching footsteps of the hunter." (paragraph 22) Meanwhile, in his speech after Wounded Knee, Red Cloud sparsely used figurative language. The vast majority of his statements were easy to comprehend and literal, with some examples being, "I will tell you the reason for the trouble. When we first made treaties with the Government, our old life and our

First, interesting choice for gaining your audience’s attention. Creatures emerging from the sea giving your viewers a vivid description of a red tide. Next, awesome transition through the main points. It was clearly outlined allowing one to see how each point relates to the next.
Is it Red Face vs. White Face, or Red faces and White faces? Chief Seattle, in this oration to Governor Stevens, discusses the comparatives and differences between these two conglomerations of people using rhetoric devices such as similes, concession, repetition, and tone. Through the use of these devices, Chief Seattle sets in his purposes of both warning the White Faces that although they hold the current power, and although the Native Americans want to live as one, that they have some power as well, and show his fellow brothers and sisters that although they may be weak now, not only in numbers but in strength, that they have power and might and the ability to eventually seek revenge on those who do them injustice.
Through these neglections and stereotypes, two Chiefs, Seattle and Tecumseh, speak out for their people by using various forms of rhetoric. In Chief Seattle's speech, he makes a letter to President Franklin Pierce and any other Americans that play any parts in Parliament. The audience that the chief is reaching out to may have Manifest Destiny, belief that God approves of the U.S, as well as the belief that Indians are savages. Chief Seattle explains, however, that the Americans are the true savages because they can not hear the sound of nature in addition to having “no place to hear the leaves of springs or the rustle of the insect’s wings” (Seattle). Chief Seattle contrasts how unnatural the Americans are by saying that the sounds of nature are absent in the American lands. The author does this to show his intended audience who the true savages are in hopes of showing the Americans how the Indians view the American beliefs. Chief Tecumseh was another Chief who spoke out for his people, but used different tactics than Chief Seattle. In chief Tecumseh's speech, he makes a letter to General William Henry Harrison, rather than the President. The audience that Tecumseh is reaching out to may see the Indians as a threat rather than the Americans as superior. Chief Tecumseh explains, however, that the Americans are continually driving the red people, when at last you will drive them into the great lake [Lake Michigan], where they can neither stand nor work” (Tecumseh).

Welcome to our first stop on this tour, NAU, also known as Northern Arizona University! Most of you guys go to school here, but for those of you who come from somewhere else, here's a brief geologic description of this area, the amazing city of Flagstaff. Flagstaff has many geologic wonders and is found on the southern part of the Colorado Plateau. A small portion of Flagstaff's northeastern rocks are sedimentary, like limestone, dolostone, quartzite, and shale, which were all deposited in the Paleozoic Era. The north region of Flagstaff is mostly volcanic rocks, like basalt. However, the west region of Flagstaff is mostly made up of limestone and again, basalt. Some of the geologic wonders that you can see here in Flagstaff are the San Francisco
While the 19th century Americans were the adventurers and explorers of this land, they were also the conquerors and exploiters. During the infamous Trail of Tears, the Cherokee nation was forced onto a 1000-mile march, during which thousands of Native American perished. In the Letter to President Pierce, Chief Seattle condemns the white people’s disrespectful exploitation of land through rhetorical strategies such as sarcastic tone, the imagery of the nature, and the parallel structure of “what” towards the end of the letter. Chief Seattle maintains a sarcastic tone throughout the letter. He repeatedly refers to the red men as “savage” who “does not understand,” “But perhaps because I am a savage and does not understand, the clatter only seems to insult the ears.”
Well, here's the more detailed version for you (but not the super detailed version—that's over in the detailed summary linked at left). After months of separation, Rojack is finally fed up with his marriage to Deborah Kelly, a wealthy heiress, so he ends up taking out this anger in the worst possible way, strangling her to death and framing it as a suicide.

So we focused our attention on Washington. Now in retrospect we may jumped from the frying pan into the fire with our decision to attempt to build our dream in the country that invented the war on drugs, but we had already begun our quest and nothing was going to stop us. In fact this mantra was at the root of our company's name. Rubicon is a reference to Caesar crossing the Rubicon river that separated Gaul from Rome, an act that essentially condemned him and his men to death. It is said that at this time Caesar uttered the words “the die is cast,” which today we use as a reference for “there is no going back”, a phrase that perfectly reflects our own struggles in opening a cannabis industry in the states.
Imagine yourself being a 16 year old boy fighting in germany . Only to realize that the fear of dying always comes to mind as dead or injured soldiers set constant reminders of what happens when you step foot into battle. Knowing this fighting is the only way to keeping moving to survive but you would also have to stay loyal to your country because betrayal would have serious consequences and knowing that you would never show your face again. Your identity will be important to you on this journey since the choices you make will define the way you are perceived by others. Soldier X by Don wulffson , is set during world war || in 1939. Soldier X is about a sixteen year old boy named Erik who leaves his family to join the german army. Throughout
Hello fellow senators I am Frank Lautenberg senator of new jersey. Some of you may remember me for my chicken hawk speech in 2004. But I digress, the reason why we are here is to come together to a consensus about this program called TARP also known as the Troubled Assets Relief Program.But before I give my vote I would like to try and persuade the people that plan to vote no to change their mind. Ladies and gentlemen I would like you to think of this as the lesser of 2 evils. We the American people have put ourselves in a sorry position. We were warned before that our lifestyle that revolved around vanity would harm us in some way. Well the time has come and that harm has come in full force in the form of this economic crisis. We all love
Red pandas, the lesser cousins of the giant panda, live in the high mountains of the Himalayas. Spending the majority of their lives in the branches of trees, they take the appearance of a fox with a black underbelly and the tail of a raccoon (Ailurus Fulgens). I have always considered them to be rather cute in every way. However, red pandas have recently been labeled as endangered (Ailurus Fulgens). I believe that if the circumstances leading to their excessive deaths are allowed to continue, then they will eventually die out and become extinct, and I don’t think this should be allowed to happen.
For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
