For this 1,500 word essay, you will be analyzing <\/span>Martin Luther King, Jr.\u2019s <\/span><\/i>\u201cLetter from Birmingham Jail.\u201d <\/span><\/i>Your task is to explain (\u201cexpose\u201d) how King makes his argument and whether his argument is  effective. You will not be stating whether or not you agree with the argument (you are to remain  objective). In this formal writing assignment, employ the third person. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are two main questions your essay should address:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1.    <\/span>What is a primary theme voiced by King in the letter (e.g. injustice, discrimination, dignity, etc.)?<\/span><\/p>\n

2.    <\/span>How does King employ the three rhetorical appeals to effectively argue for your chosen theme?<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: Be certain that the order in your thesis matches the body of the essay; for example, \u201cIn his letter, Martin Luther King, Jr. effectively demonstrates injustice in Birmingham through the rhetorical appeals of ethos, logos, and pathos.\u201d The body of the essay would then follow the order of ethos, logos, and pathos.<\/p>\n

You will also supply a bibliography.<\/p>\n

While the main focus of your essay will be on pathos, logos, and ethos, <\/span>you should consider a couple of the following questions: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cb What is the author\u2019s purpose? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cb Who is the audience? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cb Who is the author of the text? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cb What is the background of the text? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cb Which rhetorical appeals are used (logos, ethos, pathos) to support this theme?<\/p>\n

\u25cb How does the language and style of the letter contribute to the purpose?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cb Incorporate at least two of your outside resources to support your essay.<\/span><\/p>\n

In your essay, you will want to make sure to support your answers to these questions with plenty of evidence (direct quotes, paraphrases, etc.). Be certain your writing in this essay has proper balance between your voice and your supporting material, like \u201cthe two wings of an airplane.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
