1) "Will we be extremists for hate or will we be extremists for love?" Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. states this in his famous " Letter From Birmingham Jail" in which he responds to white clergy-men who critize him for " unwise and untimely demonstrations". During the jail sentence he serves, he writes this letter where he addresses the clergymen and expresses his attitude toward the statements made about him. He constructs his response through the use of little six-tear-old mind already begins to develop bitterness towards whites. This kills the future of America [children] and scars them for eternity. The powerful statements compressed to create the masterpiece that is the "Letter From Birmingham Jail" sends a strong point out to all of Dr. King's oppressors. The perfect blend of allusions and personification with powerful and persuasive diction sprinkled all around brings to life one of Dr. King's greatest and most effective writings.
