8. 8 Paraphrase these sentences using neutral language He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. Describe Jefferson’s actual tone. Which specific words contribute most to this tone?

9. Analyze Structure: Style and Content 9 The power of the Declaration of Independence comes not just from what it says, or its content, but from how Jefferson says it, or his style. Style comes from an author’s word choice, sentence length, and tone, or attitude about the subject. Jefferson’s message is complex, so he is careful to arrange the content in an orderly and logical way. An important element of style is syntax, the arrangement of words in phrases, clauses, and sentences. Varying the syntax allows a writer to create variety, emphasis, and a rhythm that helps keep readers engaged. Note how Jefferson begins the Declaration: When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, . . . The two underlined phrases are not strictly needed to convey the meaning of the sentence. Adding them, however, puts in meaningful pauses and adds to the weight of what the colonists are about to do . Reread the sentence without those phrases and see how it affects your response to Jefferson’s point . As you analyze the text, be aware of how style and content contribute to the power and persuasiveness of the document
