Tecumseh's Speech

        Tecumseh's speech has many themes but the two that are best represented are family, and brotherhood. Tecumseh shows the theme of brotherhood and family when he says "we must be united; we must smoke the same pipe; must fight each others battles." This shows great unity and "togetherness". The same qualities in which a family and brotherhood would abide. Tecumseh says "we are friends; we must assist each other to bear burdens." When he says "we are friends" he is trying to make make everyone come to since that they are brothers; family. They have the same battle, problem, and the only way they can overcome it is through brotherhood, and family. Tecumseh's speech best represents family and brotherhood.

         In the song " Hey Brother" the best represented theme is family. Throughout the song many verses directly portray the theme of family. For instance "there's nothing in this world i wouldn't do." Avicii is referring to if the world ended he would do everything in his power to save his family. This shows the role of family. The same theme that is shown in Tecumseh's speech. When Avivii says "I will help you out," he means that they are united as a family. Which is very similar to what Tecumseh says "we will fight each others battles." Tecumseh's speech and the song "Hey Brother" share the same theme of family.
