Martin Luther King, Jr.

Texts in Conversation Quiz: An in-depth look at the 9 texts seen in class. Context/Occasion/Audience: Argument: Structure: Rhetorical Device(s) ?I Have a Dream? By Martin Luther King, Jr. This speech by King took place on August 28, 1963. This was the pinnacle of the civil rights movement. King spoke to an audience of both White and Black Americans. This is expressed at one point in the speech where King states ??must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.? In truth, King spoke to America as a whole. (Quote is to be found in Page 2, Line 3).

Robbins 1 Meredith Robbins Mr. Sarmiento English 10H March 20th, 2015 Writing Reflection Before this year, the kind of writing I did was persuasive writing and fictional writing. My writing was strong, but I was still weak in a lot of areas that I still wasn?t comfortable with or haven?t practiced enough with. My favorite types of writing were persuasive, because I love to persuade people and talk about why someone should do something. There are many things that I have learned and changed to make my writing stronger. During this past year though, I have improved on types of writing skills such as analysis, thesis statements, and integrating quotes.

SoapStone Two Ways to Belong in America S:The speaker is Bruce Catton who was a prominent authority on the civil war. O:The occasion of the essay is the meeting of general Lee and grant to work out the surrender of Lee's army. A: The audience of the essay is Americans. The essay is about Lee and Grant discussing the terms of Lee's surrender and it is also about the characteristics of each man. Although the essay primary focus is on the men and their background it still makes points about a significant time in Americas history. Two leaders marking an end to their battle. So I believe that the audience of the essay is Americans because the essay is about important American icons.
