[Do My Friends Think I Have Forgotten My Wife and Children?] (blog #5)

      In this letter John Adams tells his wife Abigail Adams how much he longed to read her letters. He also asks Abigail and himself if his friends think that he has forgotten about his wife, his children , and his loved ones, because of being a politician for so long. He also tells Abigail that it is no use to hide the fact that the small pox runs in the family because he already knows.

          "Do my Friends think that I have been a Politician so long as to have lost all feelings? Do they suppose I have forgotten my Wife and Children?"(Adams 688). This quote is apple to emotion, because he is tell ing the reader that just because he is a Politician dose not mean his has lost all feelings towards his family.“What have I done, or omitted to do, that I should thus be and neglected in the most tender and affecting scene of my life!” (Adams 688). THis quote is appeal to pathos, because the audience feels pity for him. John is also asking for mercy in this quote.

Refuting Patrick Henry

          Mr. President, and dear audience: this sir has declared that we, the British have dishonored and disrespected them in a variety of ways. He also said, and I quote, “Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years.”  I must deny that sir, what you have bin doing is protesting and abusing of our belongings, like in the “Boston Tea Party”. In my opinion that is certainly no way to argue as Patrick Henry said he has done for the last ten years. Patrick Henry also implied that they “ have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament.” They might have petitioned, remonstrated, supplicated, and prostrated themselves before our king, but they have done it in and aggressive manner, therefore their cries are ignored. I also must go against another comment Patrick Henry said, “Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.” I personally find this statement completely impossible because those savage natives you call friends will not even dare to fight along your side because they hate every one and every thing that is not the same as them. If you sir want death for liberty, there is only one thing left I have to say, bring it on!

         There are many ways to change the world; I would like to change the transportation world. This type of change requires a lot of technological intelligence to be able to succeed. I would like to make transporting stations to teleport a person to a designated place or area in a matter of seconds. This type off change will lower the change of plane accidents; because you would  have to get on a plane to get to your destination. There would be less use of fossil fuel, and the world would receive less pollution because the stations would have solar power to power them. These stations will be located in every airport in the world, so you would not have any trouble to take a trip. It would only take a while to pass through customs and the security checks. The traveler would only pay one-hundred U.S. dollars, and he/she would be able to go were ever in the world, and it would only take a few minutes depending the distance. This way of transportation would be in great use of business people that have to travel a lot because of their work. They would have a great timing and would not loose time in planes. The people that would not like to use these transportation stations would still have to travel by plane and loose a lot of time and money.
