Tecumseh Speech
Tecumseh Speech
The two themes to Tecumseh's speech are anger and death. Tecumseh writes this letter to the Osages to let them know how angry he is about those white men. It said," nothing will satisfy them but the whole of our hunting grounds". Those white men wanted their lands which makes Tecumseh's so angry. Another theme to this speech is death. In the very beginning of paragraph 6, it says,"The white men want more than our hunting grounds, they wish to kill our warriors, they would even kill our old men, women and a little ones." It talks about those white men never be satisfy and also, they even wanted to kill their people since they help them to be strong. Tecumseh is really angry about this and especially they wanted to kill their people.
The theme of "The Way I Am" by Eminem has some similarities to Tecumseh's speech because their themes are anger. In Tecumseh's speech, he's so angry about how those white men do to his people. Also, in Eminem's song talks about how he's so mad the way people treat him, "But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that i need for the fire to burn and it's burning and I have to return." Just like in Tecumseh's speech, he hates those men. His people have help them to be strong, but all they got in return from those white men were their un-satisfactions, "they would even kill our old men, women and a little ones" , "we must be united." Here are some similarities between Eminem's song and Tecumseh's speech because they're both angry.
