Declaration of Independence
This edition of the Declaration of independence showed complaints and words I have not yet known were in or revolved around this document. This document contained the complaints from the colonists in a form of "He..." and it made me wonder who the "he" is. "He" could possibly be King George the 3rd who was the ruler of England at the time. I focused on the main part at the end, that focused on what has happened based off their old petitions and what they are laying on the line saying they're going to do. From the words used, I began to really feel what they were feeling as they listed all the things they have tried to do in order to have things not come to what they were. They writer left many lines starting with the word "for" and followed them up with the actions commit that offended or were done unjustly to the colonists and left a good reason behind on why they were saying they wanted and are going to be separated from British power. Through this whole work, my favorite line is the insult on King George the 3rd, where it says "A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." I believe the decision to split off from the British power was the best possible choice at the time due to the circumstances they were in.
