Response To Abigail's Letter

In Abigail Adams’ letter to her son (1780), she explains to her son, John Quincy Adams, how his voyage he’s taking now will have many different benefits in the future. Mrs. Adams wants her song J. Adams that he should view his situation through a different perspective and maybe then he will acknowledge there’s a better outcome. Mrs. Adams is aware of the risks her son is about to take and does feel a type of remorse for forcing him to go on this journey. While doing this she foreshadows and even uses her tone to get her advice and/or message across.

. If people like Abigail Adams, Daniel Gray and the slaves in Massachusetts have been delegates in the Philadelphia convention the constitution would had written with better rights for all people, just like today. In a letter to John Adams, his wife Abigail Adams asked of him to remember all of the women who have been loyal with their husbands and who have little to no rights. She goes on by saying that they are equal to men because were made by god’s image and that they should be treated this way as men in the new constitution. She also says that women are not given the care and attention the they should be given to them (146). So if she were a delegate in the Pennsylvania convention women probably would not have been seen as week and households

Abigail and John Adams did not always see eye to eye on matters of policy. During her husband’s presidency, the United States had some problems with France. Once a great ally, France was in the midst of revolution when Adams became president. The country was being run by a five-man executive group known as the Directory along with a legislative body. The Directory had stopped trade with the United States and refused to meet with any U.S. envoys. In 1798, President Adams was told that the French officials would hold talks for substantial bribes. This attempt at extortion did not sit well with him and he told Congress about the incident. The documents related to the incident were published, and the whole situation became known as the X, Y, Z

In 1780, eight years before the validation of American Constitution, Abigail Adams penned a letter to her son, John Quincy Adams, (a future president), while he was traveling overseas on his second voyage to France with his father. Blissfully unaware of her son`s future political career, she writes to John Quincy with aspirations of advice concerning his travels and diligence. Adams incorporates historical allusions, a motherly tone, propaganda and evidence to exploit the truth behind the possibility of success if one was to expand upon a natural ability by applying oneself.

In January of 1780, Abigail Adam’s, John Adam’s wife, writes a near and dear letter to her son about traveling overseas with his father. Adam’s tells her son about the challenges he will face and what he needs to do to overcome and defeat them.

When Abigail Trent agreed to write a letter to a soldier deployed overseas, she expected it to be a fleeting exchange. A friendly back and forth that ended barely after it began. She didn’t expect Theodore LaRoux.

1)Abigail establishes ethos by referencing a relationship between her and the man (John) that she is writing to. At the very beginning of the first paragraph, Abigail states, “I wish you would ever write me a Letter half as long as I write you.” which shows that she does have a personal relationship with John that shows that she knows just as much about the situation as he does. The questions she asks contributes to the persona she is trying to create by showing that she is informed and capable of making decisions since she is not afraid to ask questions and get answers.

The author of this document is Abigail Adams, a white female that is married to John Adams. She lives in a time where women have no form of representation, and they live in the shadow of men. Because of this, Abigail takes up a woman’s traditional role and performs activities such as manufacture clothing for her family, soap making, creating gun/cannon powder for her husband, and other chores for the benefit of her household (Adams, Paragraph 12). Fulfilling this role has shaped her by securing her inferiority to her husband and other males. She as a woman lacks power both socially and politically when it comes to the opposite gender; however, it is just this that has cultivated her attitude towards her government, the male sex, and even her own spouse. By requesting that her husband remember to give rights to women, it shows that she was brave enough to present her opinions even though they were unwelcomed (Adams, Paragraph 9). She is headstrong in the sense that she is willing to rebel if she does not receive the proper representation that she is asking for. Also, by mentioning that the women would rebel, Abigail displays her intelligence because she could foresee the inevitable future if women’s rights were not improved (Adams, Paragraph 9). She sees the world for what it is, unjust. Moreover, her social and political inferiority did not result in ignorance. Based on her vocabulary, writing style, and comprehension/expression of such complex ideas, she reveals that she is

In the Newsweek Magazine, the October 12, 1953 issue has an article titled “U.S shifting its Diplomacy under Shadow of Red’s H-Bomb”. Media coverage during the years of Communism and McCarthyism have shown how media uses forms of writing skills and the power of language to influence audiences. Red Scare was the hysteria over the perceived threat posed by communist in the U.S as the cold war between Soviet Union and the U.S intensified. Also it was a period of time in the early 1950’s when Senator Joseph McCarthy attempted to expose suspected communists. The press presents information and their usage of writing and language skills such as selection/slanting and broadcasting of local news to benefit themselves, which does not fulfill their purpose.

In the persuasive letter written by Abigail Adams to her son, John Quincy Adams, A. Adams uses the rhetorical strategies of emotional appeal and logic. John Quincy Adams and his father, “a United States diplomat and later the second president” of the United States, were traveling abroad. During that time A. Adams sent a letter to her son, she encouraged her son to take full advantage of the opportunity of the “voyage.” She wanted him to use his own knowledge and skills to gain experience and wisdom to grow into the man he will be in the future, a leader. A. Adams supports her position by using analogies, allusions, a nurturing and guiding tone, and an abstract word choice. These appeals are used to reassure her son of her love and affection, to convince him of his great attributes and potential for the future, and to initiate his patriotic responsibility.

In 1 Samuel 25, Saul encounters a man named Nabal and his wife, Abigail. Prior to the encounter, it is mentioned that David treated Nabal’s shepherds with kindness and dignity. Therefore, David demands that Nabal payback the good deed by showing kindness and hospitality towards David and his servants. However, Nabal disrespectfully responds with, “Who is this David?”

It's no secret that it's difficult being a girl, a young woman, and a woman in this world. No matter what the stage, life is difficult! For us females, we encounter many struggles on a daily basis. We are told that we must be thin and beautiful to be successful. Also, intimate relationships are very important!

We try so hard to follow them, but sometimes it just doesn't turn out as expected.

Curl up in bed with ice cream and a romantic movie all while drying our tears with our blankets? It's easy to simply give up, right? Well,

Samuel died and all Israel mourned for him and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David went to the Desert of Paran and a man who owned property in Maon, had a thousand goats and sheep which he was shearing in Carmel. His name was Nabal and his wife’s name was Abigail. Nabal was a Calabite who was mean and Abigail who was beautiful and smart. David sent ten young men to Nabal and they said to him “Long life to you! Good health to you and your household!

Many servants are running away from their master today! I have bread and water and meat that I have killed for my servants who cut the wool.
