Tecumseh Speech

Tecumseh's speech has an evident themes of bravery and challenges, Tecumseh states, "My people are brave and numerous, but the white people are too strong for them alone." This quote proves that there was a challenge for Tecumseh because he's trying to convince the Osages to unite with them because they are having problems with the white people and they feel that without them it would be challenging to defeat them alone. Tecumseh also says, "Who are white people that we should fear them?" This quote by Tecumseh proves that he is brave. Although he has a challenge of defeating the white people alone with his own tribe he is confident and brave. He believes that if they unite with the Osages they have enough strength and power to defeat the white people with uniting all the red men.

Song: "Break Free"  By: Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande's song, "Break Free" resembles the theme of bravery in Tecumseh's speech to the Osages. Ariana sings, "...When I say I don't want ya.. I'm stronger than I've been before ...This is the part when I break free." Ariana Grande's lyrics resembles the theme of bravery in Tecumseh's speech because she is explaining that she is not afraid anymore to tell her boyfriend, in her disastrous relationship, that she is going to stand up to him because she feels that she has the strength now. Likewise to Tecumseh's speech, he speaks to the Osages about how they shouldn't fear the white people once they unite because they feel that they'll have the strength the defeat the white people. Therefore "Break Free" by Ariana Grande resembles the theme of bravery in Tecumsehs speech to the Osages.
