Why did him have an unexpected reaction to his present?

he didn't like the present because it was given to him so suddenly. if someone had given the present to him with more caution, he'd have been okay with it. but since his aunt gave it to him so suddenly, he was appalled and didn't even wanna open his present.

-ari.

it is true my friend

paine is arguying that they had tried everything before coming to the conclusion that they needed to fight for their freedom.

argument: "every quiet method for peace hath been ineffectual."

claim 1: "our prayers have been rejected with disdain; and only tended to convince us, that nothing flatters vanity, or confirms obstinacy in kings more than repeated petitioning and nothing hath contributed more than that very measure to make the kings of europe absolute."

claim 2: "wherefore, since nothing but blows will do, for god’s sake, let us come to a final separation, and not leave the next generation to be cutting throats, under the violated unmeaning names of parent and child."
