The American Crisis

The Latin American Debt crisis did not occur over night, the crisis was many years in the making and signs of its arrival were prominent in Latin American society.

The flood of refugees from Syria started as a crisis that only directly affected the surrounding European nations such as Germany. But over the past couple weeks, pressure has grown on the United States Government to do more than they have to aid the surge of four million refugees seeking a place to flee to.

To commence “The American Crisis”,Thomas Paine, a renown revolutionary, avows the miserable worth of the “summer soldier” and the “sunshine patriot”. First off, he resorts to alliteration to attract the reader's attention and then he proceeds to deprecate the soldier’s morale, claiming he will “shrink from the service of his country” and acknowledge ignominious defeat. However, Paine typifies that a real soldier (a winter soldier) will “stand” firmly by his convictions and as a result, he shall be
