can you me with the fist body paragraph about antigones great intentions

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war

just say it's your friend did it and you had no idea?

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.

some books i recommend;

diary of anne frank

lord of the flies

although there are different versions for the fairy tale little red riding hood,   as the one from grimm brothers and perrault, all of the versions show the huntsman as a man who is in perfect harmony with nature. the statement that best describe him, the huntsman, is that he is a true hero who inspires those around him due to his words and actions. the way he acts show internal reflections that are an example to follow by anybody who takes the time to analysing them. he shows altruism actions when he aside puts his job just to check the grandmother is well, by doing this he could notice at an early stage what has happened and could save her.
