Sam Adam's Propaganda in Johnny Tremain
Tone is a mood generated by the author’s consistent choice of words that are intended to create a response in the reader. Propaganda is the spreading of ideas, facts, or allegations to sway political opinion about a person, institution, or cause.
We made a list of positive and negative words used in the Sam Adam's propagandistic piece of writing that led up to the Boston Tea Party.
"This is the placard I will put up." [Sam Adams] took it from Rab's hands and read:
"Friends! Brethren! Countrymen! That worst of Plagues,
the detested tea shipped for this Port by the East India Company,
is now arrived in the Harbour: the hour of destruction, of manly
opposition to the machinations of Tyranny, stares you in the Face;
Every Friend to his Country, to Himself and to Posterity, is now called
upon to meet at Faneuil Hall, at nine o'clock this day... at which time
the bells will ring to make united and successful resistance to this last
worst and most destructive measure of Administration."
(Johnny Tremain, Chapter 6)
