The Declaration of Independence

List of complaints begins with "He..."
1. Why do they repeat it?
I believe part of the reason they repeat it is for emphasis. He is referring to the King of England.

2. Why do they make it personal? So it can relate personally to everyone.
Because they desperately want their freedom which is why they came to America; freedom and rights are a very personal thing and it would be difficult to write this without it being personal.

3. How does the D.I. anticipate its audiences resistance to change?
It shows that if they want freedom they are going to have to embrace change and confront the other obstacles in the way.

4. How does the D.I. use parallelism? How does it impact the effectiveness of the piece?
It ties all the writing styles together; just like everyone talks slightly different everyone writes slightly different. When reading it gets easier as you get use to the writers style but if there a many different styles then it gets difficult; so parallelism keeps it together.

5.What to you is the most convincing example stated in the D.I.? Why?
"He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. "

For the people to get freedom they are going to have to have a change of life; this example shows that the King has kept them from change therefore kept them from freedom, which is exactly what he wanted to do. They have been somewhat frozen in time until now.
