Analysis: The People Calling Him Liar's Are The People In Sudan

Dr. King shows credibility through appealing to his audience by having them understand him as a religious figure. King states, “I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty-five organizations across the south, and one of them is the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights” (King 1). He emphasizes that when he speaks about religious topics he has the credibility to do so. By saying “I have the honor” king shows that he has the confidence and the authority to speak about this organization because he is the president of the organization. King describes that it is “An organization operating in every southern state” showing that he has knowledge about where the organization operates. By expressing “One of them is the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights” King makes it known that he takes human rights very seriously by tying them in with religion. Dr. King also shows his credibility

He does this through historical allusions. He wants people to know how much of a big role African Americans have played in the history of America. MLK states that, "the first American to shed blood in the revolution which freed his country from the British oppression was a black seaman named Crispus Attucks." MLK says this in order for his audience to understand that a black man fought for our freedom. He was the first person to shed his own blood for out country. Historical allusions are meant to give the history of a topic, while engaging the audience at the same time. The audience will realize how much the African American community contributes to the come up of America

“Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting” (Douglass 287). He is taking a great risk with what he just said, because he is talking to a room full of women and he is using very risky wording. “Oh! had i the ability, and could I reach the nation’s ear, I would today pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke” (289). As he is talking you can tell he is yelling more and more at these women which may not have went well with them. He really did not care if he hurt someone's feelings, because they asked him to come there to speak about Fourth of July and that is exactly what he did. He let those women know that he was not happy and they could not only tell by his words but also by the tone of his

He goes on to say that, “…your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy-a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.” Such eloquent words surely made the audience feel terrible about the current state of affairs for the African slaves. How could they justify celebrating freedom when not everyone in the nation was, in fact, free? I believe that his strategy was effective in raising the audience’s awareness. I don’t think anyone could sit there through the speech and not start to questions one’s own beliefs, even if just a little

His argument is realistic, he wants to have equality between racial ethnicities. Also, his speech is effective because it is non violent. He wants peace and knows that if he uses violence, then his issue will never get resolved. In addition to his argument, it also creates a vision for the future. An example of this is, in paragraph 12 he states, “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” (637) This quote from his speech means that he has a vision for the future, and that in his vision all men and woman are created and treated

‘The war in Darfur” is an armed conflict in the Sudan Darfur region that began in 2003 and is still ongoing, and in 2005 it was later declared as a civil war against Chad and Central African Republic.

Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass’s use of pathos in their speeches work to make their argument stronger because they both want to see a change in America that would give a wide spread of equality and freedom for all. What can be more important than protecting your own people and trying to support them in a helpful, positive way? In Abraham's Lincoln 2nd Inaugural Address pathos was used in a smart way by commenting on a godly issued observation due to the fact that many individuals used to be more religious in that time period. In Lincoln's words, “Both read the same Bible, and pray the same God;...” Lincoln also writes, “as God gives us to see the right; let us strive on to finish the work we are in: to bind the nation's wounds;...”, here he includes God to make his writing stronger and

This speech was delivered in Washington by MLK. MLK wants the American people to treat blacks equally and not judge them by their skin color but by their character. He thinks this will bring America together. His philosophy makes more sense because his goal is to gain equal rights in a peaceful way which is why he says “I Have a Dream”, it also shows that he’s hoping that this will happen as a result of peaceful protests.

In the first paragraph of Douglass’s speech he uses repetition of series of rhetorical questions. He asks the very important question of “ What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence?” the purpose of this is how ignorant and idiotic it is to ask black men to speak about the freedoms enjoyed by whites. When those he represents were not subject to “justice, liberty, prosperity and independence.” Another

Such organizations have different affiliations in every southern state. Although Dr. King did not claim himself to be the best political leader in his letter, heading those organizations proves his credibility to be the right person to defend their stand on the issues being accused on them. Additionally, Dr. King also addresses his accusers as “Fellow Clergymen.” knowing that many of his accusers are Christian followers. The importance of using this address has already established that he and his accusers are equal men of good faith. Moreover, King also references multiple known historical personalities from Abraham Lincoln to Paul of Tarsus to Socrates to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and uses their beliefs and stories to persuade his accusers the reasons why is he in Birmingham

The “Oration in Memory of Abraham Lincoln” was a speech presented by Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass was an African-American man. Besides the fact, he was also a social reformer, and abolitionist. He was born a slave, and eventually was able to escape slavery. All of his important writings and pieces of work were based on the brutalities of slavery, and his writings were all very real. He wrote and spoke about being against slavery, as well as racism as a whole. He tried to give some sort of hope for the people, in which he did in speech the “Oration in Memory of Abraham Lincoln.”

In recent times, the media has highlighted the genocide that has been occurring in Darfur, Sudan. Darfur, Sudan is a country roughly the size of the state of Texas (Darfur Scores, n.d.). Genocide is the systematic killing of an entire ethnic group of people from a national, ethnic, or religious group, or an attempt to do away with them all (Darfur Scores, n.d.). Beginning around 2003, according to Darfur Scores (n.d.), “the Sudanese government in Khartoum and the government-sponsored Janjaweed militia have used rape, displacement, organized starvation, threats against aid workers and mass murder. Violence, disease, and displacement continue to kill thousands of innocent Darfurians every month.”

Excerpt one is Martin Luther King Jr. talking to Africans about their freedoms and starts the speech by addressing the wrongs of slavery. Excerpt one is located in Crawfordville, Georgia. The purpose of this excerpt is to get the African Americans that Martin Luther King Jr. is giving his speech to, to get energized. Martin Luther King Jr. wants the crowd to help him stop the racism going on around them. The way that Martin Luther King Jr. approaches the audience at Crawfordville, Georgia is not to use big words to confuse them but to come out and tell them what is happening around them and that it needs to be stopped. Martin Luther King Jr. says “Our four parents labored right around here for two centuries without wages. They made cotton king they built the homes of their masters and oppressed in the midst in the most humiliating and

“The Lost Boys of Sudan; the Long, Long, Long Road to Fargo” by Sara Corbett, The New York Times April 1, 2001.

United states president, Donald Trump, launched a major missile attack against the Assad government earlier this week. Launching a number of tomahawk missiles in to an Assad/Syrian government run airbase. This was in response to the chemical attack, reportedly ordered by Adssad. Killing 80 civilians and injuring many more. Among the dead were numbers of children and innocent people. There are two sides/opinions about Trumps response, some say that it was over the top and not needed, while others praise Trump, calling it his best military decision since taking office.
