"All fiction has to have a certain amount of truth in it to be powerful." This is a quote from leading fantasy writer and bestselling author, George R.R. Martin. In his novel, A Clash of Kings, Martin depicts a dark and grimy setting in which war is a constant theme, a setting very much similar to that of Lord of the Rings and Beowulf. A Clash of Kings is only the second of thirteen novels in Martin's book series, A Song of Ice and Fire. The first novel in the book series, A Game of Thrones, undoubtedly left readers with many unanswered questions. It concluded with the death of preeminent characters, King Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark. After King Robert Baratheon's unexpected death, rulers from different Houses across the Seven Kingdoms claimed to deserve the vacant position on his throne, which was referred to as the Iron Throne. In the midst of a consistent struggle to obtain power, Martin concentrates on four royal families: House Baratheon, House Stark, House Lannister, and House Targaryen. Each House has at least one member of their family that believes they are the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. The battles fought to decide the new ruler of the Seven Kingdoms was often referred to in the book as the War of the Five Kings. In his novel, A Clash of Kings, George R.R. Martin strategically presents the story behind the War of the Five Kings from viewpoints of nine of his characters, while keeping the readers entertained with persistent wars being fought on and off the

Dr. King’s letter fully satisfies all requirements needed in order to be considered a classic argument.
In Dr. King's essay 'Letter from Birmingham Jail' he addresses the claims made about his arrest by the eight clergymen. His responses are very long and detailed, giving a very compelling and moving point of view. His letter is directed to his audience, which consists of white middle class citizens who Dr. King refers to as the 'white moderates'.

He is in touch with the views of his audience, which makes a greater impact on his readers. Dr. King uses antecdotes to make his readers see the injustice
Not all children are born into the perfect situation, some children are born into a drug oriented and gang related family. “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” This a powerful quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. how we can benefit a student’s life.
