JE #22: MLK’S “LFBJ” QS 1-6 (RHETORIC AND STYLE)

1.What is King’s tone in the opening paragraph? How might you make an argument for it being ironic?2. Why does he arrange paragraphs 2-4 in the order he does? How would reversing the order have changed the impact?3. How do King’s allusions to biblical figures and events appeal to both ethos and pathos?4. Why does King go into such detail to explain the basic principles and process of the nonviolent protest movement?5. In the long sentence in paragraph 14 (beginning with “But when you have seen…”), why does King arrange the “when” clauses in the order he does? Try repositioning them and note the difference in effect.6. Paragraph 16 exerts a strong appeal to logos. How can you express King’s argument(s) in a series of syllogisms?

11. Why does King wait until the end of his “Letter” (paragraphs 45 and 46) to address the clergymen’s claim that the Birmingham police behaved admirably?

PRIMARY SOURCE ANALYSIS QUESTIONS

Observe (identify and note details)

Reflect (generate and test hypotheses

about the source)

Question (ask questions that lead to

more observations and reflections)

Describe what you see. What do you notice first? What people and objects are shown? What, if any words do you see? What do you see that looks different than it would in a photograph? What do you see that might refer to another work of art or literature? What do you see that might be a symbol? What other details can you see?

What’s happening in the cartoon? What was happening when this cartoon was made? Who do you think this cartoon is about? What do you think the cartoonist’s opinion on this issue is? What methods does the cartoonist use to persuade the audience?

What do you wander about? Who? What? When ? Where? Why?

What more do you want to know, and how can you find out?
