I'll try my best... first of all, Martin Luther King Jr. uses the words "we and our" which show the P.O.V that M.L.K is on their side. "We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter." Asia and Africa are used for Logos, since he's logically telling us that our competitors are going to or are zooming pass us. There's also juxtaposition between "horse buggy pace" and "jetlike speed." Another emphasized pathos would be when MLK mentions his young son in tears. 340 years could be ethical as well. Since African Americans got their rights long after the Constitution date, but are still discriminated against. Hope this helped a little!

The "Letter from Birmingham Jail" written by Martin Luther King is powerful and effective, because it shows that the fight for equality is greater than any adversity.

This can be seen, as King, even though he was unfairly arrested, continued to talk about the need for social equality and for human rights, showing that he and his comrades would not be silenced. By reading this letter we can see:

  • King has great writing ability.
  • It presents well-structured arguments with evidence that can prove them in a simple and more impactful way.
  • He presents how his imprisonment is unfair, as well as the treatment blacks have suffered socially for years.
  • He criticizes church leaders and politicians who try to silence him in a punctual but respectful way.
  • He compares himself to famous biblical figures, showing how everyone has suffered for defending a just cause.
  • It explores the sentimentality of the public, but without ceasing to be logical, ethical and strategic.

All this is organized in a descriptive textual structure, where King presents facts, ideas and characteristics of the moment he is living and the cause he is defending.
