Answer 9

Well this is my introduction paragraph:

As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." The statement couldn't have been more truthful. Racial segregation was a problem that carried on for many years without any substance of justice. Over time things such as slavery, public beatings, and simple segregation signs had all taken place as people began to grow impatient for the day when it would all come to an end. One of those people being Martin Luther King, Jr. King uses facts, personal background, and figure of speech such as allusion, hyperbole, and irony to influence his audience to put a stop to racial segregation.

And my 2nd body paragraph:

During Dr. King's letter, "Letter from Birmingham Jail", King uses many rhetorical strategies to prove his point to the readers. One of the main rhetorical strategies he uses, would be allusion. He uses allusion when he is using the Bible as a reference to his work and purpose. The reason he chooses to refer to the Bible is because, one the Bible is the considered "Holy" and everything in it the truth, second almost everyone has read the Bible or knows at least of the stories in it, third his audience is a audience of preachers who value the Bible as a sacred piece of material that they have devoted their life to teach to other people. I think adding the allusion to the Bible in the letter really adds not only a personal connection, showing that, like them, he is a devout man of god, and it shows that if his work can be related so closely to the work done in the Bible, that to frown on his work and disapprove of his work is to disapprove and frown on the work done in the Bible. As men of God they should see that their assumptions and actions are wrong and they should take a second look at the work Dr.King is doing.
