Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The argument  and claims that Henery presents in  “Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death!” are valid. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.  Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? (11) Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? (12) For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

Answer 2

The argument Henry uses in "Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death!" is that the colonists must turn against the British Empire and attack it to guarantee their freedom.

About these arguments, we can say that:

• Henry is angry at the actions England is taking towards the American colonies.

• He sees these actions as violent and oppressive, putting Americans at risk.
• For this reason, he claims that it is not possible to maintain harmony with England and therefore the colonists must turn against her and attack her, even if it is dangerous.
• He uses evidence relevant to this argument, as it shows how England has behaved negatively.
• The evidence makes the argument effective, understandable and proven.
• He does not use any false or biased statements, but makes strong use of pathos to persuade listeners by stimulating their emotions.

Henry's speech is effective because it shows his point of view concretely and presents true and factual evidence.
