Dr. Franklin

In this letter John writes to Abigail speaking mainly of Benjamin Franklin. He states many things about Ben, he says that Ben has very good ideas and is very usefull in Congress. Franklin has many good ideas for the well of the American people, states that even if they were to go into full Independance, that they could do well by themselves. It seems that John really admires Ben saying he is a great and good man. In the end he says that the letter should be kept a secret between themselves.

"He thinks us at present in an odd State, neither in Peace nor at War, neither dependant nor independant" (Adams, 680) This quote is an example of Parallelism. This is very important to the letter as a whole because he is stating that the Colonies are in a very risky position, they are at the verge of war, or at the verge of peace. They are not depedant or independant, they are just about to find out their future outcome. These words are from Benjamin Franklin, not from John.

"There is a young Gentleman from Pensylvania whose Name is Wilson, whose Fortitude, Rectitude, and Abilities too, greatly outshine his Masters, Mr.Biddle, the Speaker, has been taken off, by Sickness" (Adams, 680) This quote is an example of a Red Herring. This is important to the letter as a whole because most of the letter is about Benjamin Franklin, but then he switches to a man named Wilson, stating that he also is a good man in Congress, not just Benjamin Franklin.

Against Patrick Henry

Today I have gathered here on this dark afternoon to speak words not of persuasion, but reason. I am here to address those words that have been spoken not out of honor, but out of hatred towards the crown. Words that have come from a man who seeks not to reason and what is best for the people, but out of vengeance and rancor, this man`s name is Patrick Henry. This man who burdens a body less than honorable has spoken terrible words out of anger and confusion. His words carry no veracity. He points out the fact that British soldiers are in the Colonies armed and ready to fight, he complains that the soldiers are here quote, to ``bind and rivet upon those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging``. Also quoting, ``No sir, she has none.  They are meant for us``. This desperate man could not be further incorrect. The British royal army has been sent to the Colonies to do nothing else but protect the American Colonists. Massive armies of Native Americans roam the Colonies in search of easy targets to murder and take from. These savage cannibals have no mercy with anyone who is found in their way. British soldiers are killed every week defending the American Colonists and then they complain about it? Their arguments are rooted from desperation and hatred.  If it were not for the British Soldiers there, Native Americans would slaughter thousands. He also says that the British have no enemies in this corner of the world; we have one enemy and one enemy only, the Native Americans. The only solution to this is to tax the Colonists in the minute amounts. With their taxes being paid for, we can maintain the soldiers that have been placed there for THEM, and by maintain the soldiers their security is at no risk. Great Britain does not grow currency on trees; the only way to maintain their protection and security is by taxation, there is no other way. Would you rather fight and risk breaking in all out warfare that could take the lives of thousands of people who, by other means would prosper in this new world? There are ways to do this peacefully and those are NOT the ways of this violent and blood thirsty Patrick Henry.  Another flaw in Henry’s speech, are his words out of desperation, those who have not been thought out fully and understood to speak. This man is concrete headed and looks nowhere but through his own path, his own way, not what is best for all, but what is for HIS greater good. He states that the Colonists have no way out of the quarrel in which they have been placed in. There are ways to reconcile with the British and get their way with their demands. The Crown will hear them out if their petitions and demands are reasonable and are capable of being brought forth and presented in a manner that an be understood and proceeded with. The major flaw in their demands is that they ask such great things that are impossible to accomplish. They want taxation to be removed, but if they are left defenseless against the hordes and hordes of Native American war parties scourging through the lands, they will perish and die out by two winters at most. We cannot have our soldiers shielding them from death and torture, from witnessing living scalping and treacherous Native rituals, if we receive no currency to maintain our hundreds of soldiers there, the soldiers will not last in the Colonies. So, I give this as a warning to desperate and rancor filled men like Patrick Henry, those who speak with no reason and through desperation, to stop this now before it is to late and violence breaks out among us. Stop spreading fallacies and rumors for we are here to protect the Colonists not to bind them as if they were criminals. I give this warning once and for all, for the good of the Colonial people and their children and women and homes, stop this now before it is to late. We must rejoice and remain peaceful or what will happen next is out of my jurisdiction and control.

My Plan to change the World

My plan to change the world begins with winning the candidacy for president in the United States of America. I will need much support to obtain this post, but with hard work I believe it is achievable. Once I obtain this post, I will propose a plan for World Unification. All the countries unified into one. Instead of separate countries, each country will act as a working state in the Unified World, called The Federation of Earthen Countries, TFEC. The people who would want to follow my plan are everyone. If the whole world unites into one single power, wars would cease, except those against terrorism. Countries with need of aid will be supported by those more privileged in the Unity. The advances of science would be un-imaginable, one planet as a whole will work together in advancement of science and technology instead of the political competitions now in days. Space exploration will be much greater and more often with the whole world funding one single project with different states included in the voyages. The world’s economy would prosper; those with problems will be aided by the whole world, not just their government. Decision regarding world issues such as terrorism aid, or if one country is affected by a major natural disaster, a session will be held and plans for aid will be made as a whole, everyone will participate, except those who have nothing to give and have major problems of their own. The Army would be one, and terrorism will be crushed if the world as a whole would work to eradicate terrorism and extremists beliefs. Organisms like the “LRA” in Uganda will be searched down and eradicated and their ways will die out with time. The world will be a much better place for everyone included in the unification of countries. The countries that do not join this unification will be greatly affected. They will not receive the aid that is provided for those who have joined, their army will stand no chance against the TFEC, they will not be forced to join the unification, but for the better of their people and country, the majority of countries will join unconditionally and immediately. This unification will help the entire world, all will benefit from it and many world problems will be solved. Of course, the leader of the world will be me, Aeden O’Connor, President of The Federation of Earthen Countries. My capital city will be many. I will state a leader in New York, Moscow, South Africa, Beijing, and Sidney. My capital will be London, soon to be changed to Aeden. This will be the headquarters and all the leaders will meet here to discuss world issues. The picture above is  metaphor for the amount of power I would have, those are MY hands. In the end this unification would change the world and make it a much better place.
