Red Tickets Speech Analysis
My impression of Red Jackets speech is that he wanted peace for everyone, equality, acceptance, and respect. He respectfully disagreed with his brothers religion but also told him that "The Great Spirit" gave everyone a religion they can believe in, that there wasn't one true religion technically. Also, he wanted to help the natives get there land and make peace with the whites, he accepted their religion as well, doesn't mean he believed in it, but he tolerated it. He wanted to get along with the whites, he was humble, and being humble was a sign that he wanted equality between the natives and the whites. The part of the Iroquois Constitution that surprises me is that they ahd a Tree of Peace that represented a lot of things. It's not common

    The Red King's Rebellion fought more than three hundred years ago between the Algonquian peoples and New England settlers was in per-capita terms the bloodiest war in our nation's history. Before the conflict ended, over 9,000 people were dead (two-thirds of them Native Americans), and homelessness, starvation, and economic hardship plagued the descendants of both races for generations to come. In this fascinating book, Russell Bourne examines the epic struggle from both sides, seeking to explain how the biracial harmony that once reigned--when the Plymouth Colony's neighboring Wampanoag’s, under the stately Massasoit (King…

    In the summer of 1790, twenty-seven chiefs from the major tribes of the creek nation marched into New York City with one main purpose: to negotiate a peace treaty that would grant the Creek Nation the land they inherently deserved and to end the bloody war on the Southwestern Frontier. Seemingly leading the chiefs to New York City was the Native American version of George Washington, and his name was Alexander McGillivray. The McGillivray Moment was a point in time that we know very little about, for the official negotiations between the Creek Chiefs and our then loose federal government was oddly never recorded, so we can only speculate the topics they covered and their reactions to them by reviewing their final documents and papers. By…

    The American revolution fundamentally changed american society politically (docs c, e, I.) our founding fathers thought that the new country needed a better federal government. This is proved in doc I which is a piece from the federalist written by James Madison. This piece Madison is trying to persuade the people to help him form a new government.

    Jim Valvano, better known as Jimmy V, was a men’s basketball coach in the NCAA for many years and is remembered most for coaching his North Carolina State Wolf pack squad to the 1983 national championship over the Juggernaut University of Houston team. That team established the term “Cinderella” as no one ever expected them to win the way that they won. Jim Valvano received some horrible news in the middle of 1992. His doctors told him that he had terminal cancer. Several months later, he received the Arthur Ashe Courage award at the 1993 ESPY Awards presented by ESPN. He accepted the award and gave one of the most memorable speeches in sports history where he introduced the Jimmy V Foundation for cancer research that has since raised millions of dollars forcancer research.…

    Henry V demonstrated his ability to make all of his men feel valued and equal, even though they are from varying status. He talks about how the fewer men there are, the greater share of glory they have between them in his St. Crispin’s Day speech. It makes all of his men feel valued the same as all the rest. I will examine three examples that show how Henry demonstrated that they are all in the battle together.…

    After reading the provided statement and considering the points it made I would have to disagree with it on two grounds. Firstly, handing control of the local police to the recently freed slaves would put many people in the police force out of work. This would create a situation similar to that of the Iraq war in which we removed all members of the Baathist party from power, by doing this we put thousands out of work, and essentially created many of the insurgency groups we are dealing with today. The same thing would happen if you gave freed slaves complete control of local police departments, they would ostensibly fire the majority of the white officers. Secondly, the idea of abolishing the southern states, and creating new ones is preposterous. People take pride in calling where they come from and they take pride in calling themselves Texans, Virginians, etc. If you did both of these conjointly even with how…

    “And so it was all over. I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people’s dream died there. It was a beautiful dream.” (218) These were the words that Black Elk spoke of the dream that he and his people had of a country where they were allowed to live free and happy as they had before the white men invaded their territory. The Indians that Black Elk encountered in his lifetime all had only a simple dream to be able to live as they pleased. They…

    Post 911 Speech Analysis

    Bush, in his speech post 911, explicitly expressed the idea “you are either with us or against us” (3). He clearly determined to start the war on terror as a direct confrontation between two entities known as “us and them”, which has last for more than decades. This definition of two entities as shown could mean multiple confrontations including theocracy vs. secularism, and modern vs. pre-modern mentioned above. In fact, though these confrontations are still in place, they are in fact no longer solid because of the trend of globalization. While physical borders still hold and play an important role in international relations, realistically speaking, the ongoing trend of globalization obfuscates the old borders in all aspects including demographic borders, religious borders. The unclear border of the population results in difficulties in defining ourselves. A…

    Long before the white man appeared, Native Americans owned the great and vast lands, relying on and praising the Great Spirit for sun, rain, and life. Upon crossing the seas, the white man was welcomed and befriended. As the white men grew in numbers, so did their appetite for land and control. The Caucasians brought contention, confusion, distrust, and problems. As though all of this were not enough, they also brought a new, "superior" religion. Red Jacket, an eloquent chiefly orator, finally spoke up for the Native population in his Speech of Red Jacket, the Seneca Chief to a Missionary. Red Jacket effectively appeals to pathos using comparison, sufficiency, and tone to convince white missionaries that Native Americans do not wish to worship as the white man, to destroy his religion, or to take it from him; but only to enjoy their own.…

    Before the founding of America, the Natives in the Iroquois Constitution were a prime example of how to run a nation. They had a constitution that help maintain peace in their nation for their people, and people in their nation were respectful majority of the time. This is something that America wanted for their people. They wanted freedom and equality for their nation therefore, they would look at Iroquois constitution as an example of how to have that for their nation. In the Declaration of Independence, it states “We must therefore acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind enemies in war, in peace friends” (Jefferson 13). This quote shows how they wanted to end their separation with the British and create peace between them and have peace in their nation. It also states “that as free independent states they have full power to levy war conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce and to do all other acts and thing which independent states may right do” (Jefferson 14). Peace was one of the main parts of what America wanted for themselves which is similar to Iroquois constitution. Having solitude in their nation would lead them into a successful union which is why the Iroquois Constitution had their constitution called the Great Peace showing how important…

    The impact of the 2016 DNC speech was left on the first night of the convention. According to Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post (2016), there were more than 28 hours of live programming over the four days of the Democratic National Convention. Even though, the first lady’s speech came on the first night of the convention, “it held the championship belt against all other for the next three days’’ (Cillizza, 2016). She stood alone amongst the best of the politicians in the Democratic Party as the one who excelled the brightest which left her one question to answer. What does the first lady want to do next?
