The Crisis Appeals

• Emotional Appeals
• The line, "Let them call me a rebel, and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one, whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man." In this line Paine lets his emotions get a away from him but in a good way because it gets the audience to feel his rage as well. Rages against the British and that might be enough to convince some people that fighting a war will solve all their problems.
• "By perseverance and fortitude we have the prospect of a glorious issue; by cowardice and submission, the sad choice of a variety of evils -- a ravaged country -- a depopulated city -- habitations without safety, and slavery without hope..." Paine is putting fear into his audience in hopes that people step up and fight for their freedom and a safe and happy country.
• Ethical Appeals 
• When Paine speaks of the conversation he overheard between a father and his son, the father was being selfish and he uses that story to convince parents that in order for your child to have a safe and peaceful future, fighting this war will ensure that. 
• Appeals to association 
• "The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in a crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." Paine is saying that all men who take his side and fight, will become heroes and this might persuade people to fight.
• Appeals to authority 
• When Paine talks about how God will be there to protect them, this reinforces the idea that id God will protect them, they will be safe and that God believes it is the right thing to do, thus persuading all of the religious folk to do God works.
