In the speech, Tecumseh is trying to persuade the Osages to work with him to eliminate the white people by demonstrating teamwork and determination. Joining alliances is a theme shown in the speech. Tecumseh wanted to work with the Osages. He says, "We are friends, we must assist each other to bear our burdens." By helping each other out, they will be able to take down the white people. The second theme is determination. Tecumseh is determined to kill the white people. He states, "We will cause the rivers to stain the great waters with their blood." He is persistent on destroying them. Two themes in Tecumseh's speech is teamwork and determination and Tecumseh expresses those themes throughout the speech.
A Theme in Relation to a Song:
The song, "Count on Me," by Bruno Mars is a good song to demonstrate the joining of alliances. Bruno Mars sings, "You can count on me like 1, 2, 3, I'll be there." That means that Bruno has that person's back. He will always be there when he is needed. In Tecumseh's speech, he speaks about uniting with the Osages. This means he will always stay loyal and will not betray them because he wants to defeat the white people. Bruno's song is a nice song about friendship in which Tecumseh was trying to form with the Osages.
