Answer 2

Martin Luther King begins his letter with the following paragraph:

"While confined here in the Birminghan City Jail, I cam across your recent statement calling our present activities "unwise and untimetely." Seldomm if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all criticisms that across my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine goodwill and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms."

What is the effect of his choice to start his letter in this way? Answer the question in complete sentences. In your response, be sure to discuss the purpose and tone of this opening paragraph and explain how it works with the overall structure and purpose of the letter.

Answer 6

Okay... Well, he was complimenting the people that caused him to go to jail. They were TOTALLY bloodthirsty when it came to Civil Rights activists. It shows how calm and peaceful he was. You've heard of "kill 'em with kindness", yes? It's kind of what he was doing there. I'd talk about this. Does that help?

Answer 7

uuuuuuuuuuuummmmmm i have no clue
*looks down * :( srry i am really bad at english

Answer 8

Quite easy actually, just say how he started the letter in regards of him being in jail and people judging him for his acts and how that effects the letter as a whole in terms of structure, tone, etc. Read a couple times and I'm sure it'll make sense. @Pizza_King hope this helped and this is the best i can do

Answer 12

Reread the following paragraphs from King's letter, paying attention to the way that he structures his ideas:

Paragraph 2 of 12
"In any non violent campaign there are four basic steps: 1) Collection of the facts to determine whether injustices are alive, 2) negotiation, 3) self-purification and 4) direct action. We have gone through all of these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gainsaying of the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the United States. Its ugly record of police brutuality is known in every section of this country. Its unjust treatment of Negroes in the courts is a notorious reality. There have been more unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches in Birmingham than any city in this nation. These are the hard, brutal, and unbelievable facts. On the basis of these conditions Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the political leaders consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation. "

Paragraph 3 of 12
"I guess it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say wait. But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate filled policeman curse, kick, brutualize, and even kill your black brothers and sisters with impunity; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an air tight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she cant go to the public amusment park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that “Funtown” is closed to colored children, and see the depressing cloud of inferiority begin to form in her little mental sky, and see her begin to distort her little personality by unconsciously developing a bitterness toward white people; when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading “white” and “colored,” when your first name becomes “sleek-feathered one” and your middle name becomes “boy” (however old you are) and your last name becomes “John,” and when your wife and mother are never given the respected title “Mrs.”; when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are a Negro, living constantly at tiptoe stance, never quite knowing what to expect next, and plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of “nobodyness”-then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait.


In complete sentences, answer the following questions: What is the main idea of each paragraph? How are the ideas connected? What is the effect of making these points in the order King has chosen?

Answer 13

do you think you could help or naw.? :/

Answer 14

The first paragraph is mostly about what makes up a peaceful campaign and what this "campaign" will be about; black rights. The second paragraph's main idea is that african americans are segregated against quite often and how unfair, and unjust it is. Having to explain to a young child why they cant go somewhere, simply pecause the way they look. they are connected in the fact that they are adressing black rights, and the unfair, unconcstituional segregation that has been occuring towards the negro community. The effect of making the points in the order they were made emphasizes the "if it were you" type situation, if it were the caucasions who were to get segregated who would sit idly? nobody.@Pizza_King
