The Importance Of Compare And Differences In American History

Through the use of many rhetorical devices, Martin Luther King expertly writes this piece using those devices to improve and influence the response of his audience. This introduction to his book, Why We Can’t Wait, is used to bring injustice to light and as a call to action piece. His goal is to inform the whites of America about racial inequality and to rally the African Americans to continue working towards a desegregated world.

“The time of justice has now come. I tell you that I believe sincerely that no force can hold it back. It is right in the eyes of man and God that it should come. And when it does, I think that day will brighten the lives of every American (Johnson).” African Americans during this time period are in the process of having their rights and equality. These individuals experienced hardships and obstacles which led up to this. They suffered in different ways, additionally, some of them got killed. When Martin Luther King, the leader, stood up for what he believed in with a group of black people right behind him, he was put in jail and got severely bruised. King did not stop fighting for these rights and equalities and even through thick and

By definition; love is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Love can be interrupted in many ways. Were we ever taught love or is it just a natural feeling towards a person? Some say you'll know the meaning of love when you fall in love, yet some don't believe in love at all.

Jews suffered countless amounts of atrocities throughout the history of time. Both stories have themes in which man is evil to man, the will of the main character to survive and overcome evil is present, and the ability of some people to still be compassionate to each other during these times of evil. The book Maus, and the movie “The Pianist,” share many thematic similarities.

Richard Rodriguez and Amy Tan are two bilingual writers. Rodriguez comes from a Latin background where both his parents speak Spanish. Tan is a child of Chinese parents. Though they share some of the same situations; each has a different way of portraying it. This gives the readers two different aspects of being bilingual. Rodriguez told his story in Aria: a Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood. Tan told hers in Mother Tongue. In spite of the fact that they both wrote about their experiences of being bilingual, they told their stories were for very different reasons.

He tells the nation that it is fatal to overlook the extreme urgency they are facing. The discontent and anger of the Negros will not end until they receive freedom and equality. In his speech he shows alternatives to get freedom and equality instead of by violence. Martin says “We must conduct our struggle with dignity and discipline”. Fighting is no way to solve an issue, in fact it only causes more problems. He convinces the people to march ahead and continue the walk and struggle for freedom and equality.

Martin defines the year between 1962 and 1963 as the only time that black people came together and fought for their freedom. He organized peaceful protests, where the people marched on the street. Martin describes the situation black people had during that time and says,

Brent Staples of “Just Walk On By”, Judith Ortiz Cofer of “The Myth of the Latin Woman”, and Alice Walker of “Beauty: When the Other Dancer is the Self” had discovered their personal/cultural knowledge and identity through their experiences. They might have different experiences in different situation or incident it has the same concept. Brent Staples and Judith Cofer had similarly uncovered how they are being alienated especially in their foreign place. They both had experienced to be mistaken as somebody else. Brent Staples was once mistaken for a burglar in a magazine company and a mugger in a jewelry store. Cofer was also mistaken as a waitress by an old woman while she was holding her notebook which an old woman thought a menu

When it came to shopping, I used to go to two stores, Wal-Mart and Target. Now I just go to Wal-Mart. Between the two of these stores, Wal-Mart is definitely the best, not to mention the most beneficial. They have everything you need and more. Who wouldn’t love a store that has the best customer service, quality and much more? Good beginning

William Howard Taft and Dwight D. Eisenhower both contributed immensely on the development of where the United States stands today even though both presidents served the country with different morals on where the country needs to stand.  The purpose of this report is to express the similarities and differences between William Howard Taft and Dwight D. Eisenhower during the course of their early life, public service, their presidency, post presidency, and their death and legacy.

The act of being habitually and carefully neat and clean can make for an interesting topic in a comparison and contrast essay. Dave Barry compares the differences of how women and men clean in his compare and contrast essay, Batting Clean- Up and Striking out. In Suzanne Britt's compare and contrast essay, Neat People vs. Sloppy People she compares the differences of personalities between Sloppy people and neat people. Both essays compare cleanliness in one way or another however they both have differences regarding their use of humor, examples, and points made in their thesis.

As a child, Martin Luther was exposed to a series of racial profiling as well as social injustices. Martin King, Martin’s father was a pastor and showed him that most people face major backlash for the color of their skin. When Martin was a child, his father assisted in the organization of voter registration drives, participated in the NAACP, and sat on the board of Morehouse College (Bernard, D.& Richard, B, 2006). As pastor of the local church, he embedded strong religious ideals in his son and linked him to the church. This led to Martin becoming a pastor, using the skills he acquired of preaching compassion over violence (Mwita, M, 2004). Martin used his childhood of standing up for what is wrong by showing disobedience in a manner that is without weapons of physical pain but of weapons of the mind which was taught by his parents.“An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law" (McElwee & Rory O'Brien, 2001). Similarly, King says, "In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law, as would the rabid segregationist. That would lead to anarchy. One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty”

n the fourth paragraph of The letter from birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King says, "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' The circumstances surrounding the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Micheal Brown, and Eric Garner are some examples of Dr. Martin Luther King's assertion. The case dealing with Trayvon Martin was with a Mexican man named George Zimmerman fatally shooting a 17 year old African American high school student. This took place in Sanford Florida, on the night of February 26,2012. The fatal shooting of Micheal Brown occurred in Ferguson Missouri. The young 18 year old African American high school student was shot on August 9, 2014. Unlike Trayvon Martin, young Micheal Brown was shot by an white Ferguson police officer

A vignette from The House on Mango Street, "Those Who Don't," by Sandra Cisneros, the poem "My Parents Kept Me from Children Who Were Rough," by Stephen Spender, and another poem "We Real Cool," by Gwendolyn Brooks share many similarities and differences. These three pieces of literature talk about racism and rough children. "Those Who Don't" is about racism and how people think about others without getting to know them. "My Parents Kept Me from Children Who Were Rough" explains how a good child wants to be like other children who are bad. "We Real Cool" talks about pool players who are bad. These pieces of literature compare and contrast between figurative language, point of view, and theme.

Martin Luther King Jr, gives his speech, “I Have A Dream” that argues that black lives do matter. He supports his claim by including touchstones that spoke both to the head and the heart, then uses sharp ideas and contrasts them and finally he ends on a hopeful note. Luther's purpose that black lives do matter as much as white people’s do, he creates a hopeful tone for the black people.
