There are many themes evident in Tecumseh's speech such as determination and taking a stand. One theme is determination. Tecumseh says "...they will drink the blood of the white people." Tecumseh is talking about how his men are determined to fight against what the white men are doing to them. Another theme is taking a stand. Tecumseh states "If we all unite we will cause the rivers to stain the great waters with their blood." Tecumseh is saying that if they all take a stand together against the white men, they will be able to defeat them. In conclusion, determination and taking a stand are evident themes in Tecumseh's speech.
"Roar" by Katy Perry incorporates the theme of taking a stand. In the song Katy Perry sings "I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire." This relates to Tecumseh's speech because Katy Perry is talking about a stand against someone who has pushed her down. In the song Katy Perry sings "You held me down, but I got up already brushing off the dust." Again, this relates to the theme in Tecumseh's speech since she is talking about rising up from being pushed around by someone else. The song "Roar" by Katy Perry and Tecumseh's speech contain a similar theme of taking a stand.
