The American Revolution was movement of 13 American colonists that happened from 1763 ,The end of Seven Year’s war ,to 1782, the Treaty of Paris to be independent from Great Britain. The main causes of The American Revolution were the intolerable actions, the Townshend Act, and the Stamp Act passed by the British. Intolerable actions were a series of unfair laws passed by British Parliaments to manage rebellion by American colonies, The Townshend act imported tax on glass, paint, and tea for tougher enforcement to British colonies, and the stamp act required colonies to pay tax on stamps that goes on legal documents. The American Revolution brought significant changes to America, After the American revolution, there were political powers in the hands of ordinary men, and there was an elected president instead of a monarchy, but some things remained the same, such as the rights of slaves, women, and native Americans, with white, rich men being in charge. The America Revolution was worth it as it gave most Americans more freedom and rights.
Renaissance was a rebirth of art and knowledge from the dark ages, and humanism was one of philosophical beliefs from renaissance . I would rate myself 85% humanist because I strongly agree to most of the principles and values with humanism. For example, secularism, the value of secularism goes against the thinking of feudalism which I does not agree with. Feudalism believed in church and god, they encouraged everyone to live afterlife not present life. However I believe living in present life is most important, and improving itself with questioning of world and passion of education. This goes with the belief of humanism, as being the belief that separated people from religion.
The found poem i wrote was created based on story “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernando Tellez. In the story, the main character ( the barber) is a revolutionary when Columbia was facing political conflict (La Vioencia), and he has to cut his enemy’s beard which is a hunter of revolutionary, Captain Torre. The barber faces the problem of having to give service to him. during the cut, the barber is aware about the awful things by Captain Torre and struggles to make a decision of using his razor blade to do his own job and be a murderer. In page 4, the barber knows that his fate relies on a blade of a razor of being a murderer, the razor bade represents the decision of him.
The reason I drew two different newspapers having different sentence is because it portrays what will happen if the barber kills Captain Torres. “The murderer,” , “The avengers”. At the beginning of the story the barber is eager to pull the razor and kill the Captain but soon he’s faced with moral dilemma. (Inner conflict person vs person）. The ‘murderer’ news paper shows the barber’s desire for revenge .
