Assertion Analysis #7
The indian removal has been a decision made by President Andrew Jackson because of the expansion of the colonies. There is a common difference between the Colonists and the Native Americans. The Colonists believe that the Native Americans in fact couldn't live with a civilized society. The Natives do not live by the colonists way of life. So the Colonists are trying to force them to remove themselves from the land that they use to own. The Colonists feel that their superior over the Natives. The reason the colonists are removing the Natives is because of the knowledge they gain from their habits. They feel that the Natives aren't civilized and couldn't live with the colonists.

Assertion Analysis 6
Chief Red Cloud is stating in his quote that him and his legacy rather be left alone then been given riches and material things. He feels that he wants to train his children right. Therefore, he feels that the white man wont raise their children the right way. He states that he wants peace because the white man is trying to control them and to convert them to their ways. Also he uses the word "Love" because the true meaning of it is to giving the best for someone even if it doesn't concern you. The White people are doing the best for themselves instead of the indians. There is no true love in this relationship between the indians and white man. The riches wont blind them from the true master plan that the white man has. The plan is to have full dominance over the Indians. He wont give in into their plan to take over the indians.

Assertion Analysis #5
There is a lot of adversity between the Native Americans and the White Man. The natives are being forces to believe in the Religion of the Puritans. However, the Puritans have harsh rules and want the Natives to submit to their authority. Sitting Bull is expressing his hatred of the white man and also the defiance towards them. He feels that the great spirit made him in his body for a reason and his plans and goals that were set for Mr. Bull shouldn't be affected by the white man. He doesn't want to be controlled by another race and is showing resistance. They strongly believe in their rights and even said they would die for them. Basically the Natives don't want to have anything to do with the White Men! Sitting Bull feels that the white men should respect the Natives and not force anything on them.

Asertion Analysis #4
I feel when george carlin makes a statement that it's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it, he is expressing the reality of what america really is. He compared the dream with being asleep and believe. As you can see he is using diction when he says "to be asleep to believe it" because when someone is asleep their dream isn't real or can become real. This dream that he talks about couldn't be achieved through reality but through fantasy. America is becoming a country of debt and a country that promises one thing and does a whole different thing. The dream we have looks very compelling however we get challenged when we have to face reality. Majority of this country has a dream and barley anything actually get to live that dream. Therefore, We must look at this dream when we are asleep because most of the time it wont be achieved in realty.
