Thomas Paine-second entry

After having read the "Common Sense" by thomas Paine I have come to one undeniable conclusion. Thomas Paine's common sense is a constucted propaganda. He is a master of word choice and manipulation. He uses homely metaphors such as when he compares the "mother" country becoming a monster and how children will suffer under British tyranny. In this way he appeals to famalies. Also he manipuilates religion and allusions in his favor to prove his point. Since most literate individuals at that time had read the bible, these arguments were very strong. Thomas Paine can be said to be the creator of ant-defferential writing. He does not envoke authorities to support his arguments but appeal to common sense. Also uses clear, striaght forward writing style incorporating lists and little latin so that everyone may understand his point. Paine's appeal to common sense was geniuse and some may say even revulutionary but there is a subtle trick he uses. Paine uses facts,religion,allusions, etc to produce his ideology in a form of a chimera common sense.
