In this poem, Dunbar explains that African Americans have allowed the mistreatment get the better of them. He addresses Douglass to remember his strong words and hope it serves as a comforter in the phrase "through the lonely dark". In the phrase “voice high-sounding o'er the storm”, Dunbar uses symbolism on the word “storm” which symbolizes segregation. With a calm tone, the speaker is addressing Douglass of all of this and all that is wrong in the world. Also, the use of visual and auditory imagery allows the reader to depict vividly the surrounds of the slave times and the seriousness of the struggles they are faced with.
1. In the opening paragraph, King’s tone can be described as formal, ironic, and sarcastic because he is defending his actions against those he describes as ‘men of genuine goodwill’ and sincere. He further supports his ironic tone by mentioning his secretaries. Because this letter was written from a jail cell, King obviously did not have any secretaries. However, he mentions them in order to imply that he does get a lot of criticism and is taking particular care to address the specific concerns of the clergymen.
By taking the time to answer his critics (or persecutors, as he is in prison) with patience, logic and intelligence, as opposed to retaliating, King was also able to justify his actions. Another important aspect to his letter was to show how disappointed he was with the Church. For example he said “In deep disappointment I have wept over the laxity of the church. There can be no deep disappointment where there in not deep love”. One of the best parts of this letter was that it was created out of political conflict.
Source 1 is a letter personally written by Wolsey to Henry and it indicates that his efforts were noticed by Stafileo and this shows that he did attempt to speak to the Catholic Church in some way. It also shows that he did not want to let Henry down and he gave Henry hope that he was trying his best to get the annulment by explaining that Stafileo was on their side by writing a book which supported this case. This is also shown in Source 3, when Catherine of Aragon says ‘you have kindled the fire in Henry’. This quote shows that Wolsey was acting on Henry’s behalf even if it does mean that he had a role in ending the marriage. Since Source 1 is a letter to Henry from Wolsey, there is no chance that Wolsey would lie to his master and it also shows Wolsey’s confidence as he managed to convince Stalifeo to agree with the annulment and to write a scholarly book.
In response to Dr. Martin Luther King’s letter to his fellow clergymen, it appears that they were asking or even possibly pleading Dr. King to stop his activities describing them as, “unwise and untimely.” These activities included a non-violent campaign of civil rights demonstrations, sit-ins, non-violent marches, concerns regarding police brutality and civil equalities for people of color. Dr. King eloquently wrote a long letter, as he sat in jail, describing all his concerns to a clergy of his peers, in the hopes they could see how all these injustices demanded action immediately and not by waiting as they mentioned. Dr. King was obviously disappointed with a letter that he received and wanted his concerns to be heard. As he sat in jail and pondered all the injustices he had witnessed or had been a part of, it appears that he had time to create a letter which he felt would outline and describe how he felt about the situation. When Dr. King stated facts about describing the situation in Birmingham, he clearly wanted to provide a foundation to build upon.
Some of his executions have a good side to them, like with Thomas Moore; Henry did it to keep his ruthless and powerful reputation. If this was ruined then he wouldn’t be anything, it wasn’t like it was an easy decision either, it did take Henry a while and it was a hard choice to make. Considering people had been going to Church just to be on the safe side, but not knowing a thing that was being said as it was in Latin, though Henry created the Protestant church and ways for personal reasons it had good points like people could actually understand what was being said in Church as the Bible was translated into English. Overall I think that Henry was a bad King, and does deserve to be remembered as ‘Horrible Henry’, he made a lot of wrong choices. The bit of evidence that proves this is when he lead the disastrous war with France and wasted a lot of money and his countries
As Quoted in Millers book by the Character Mr. Hale, he states:” We must not blame each other but fear god and his Wrath.” This quote helps us to understand that we cannot blame others but must go through what trails an tribulations that god has intended. Mr. Hale also goes onto say that “we must look into ourselves to find what has thy done to anger god.” With all accusations going around our ancient society there is always going to be a minority in society. Lastly the connections with the McCarthy era and the people of Salem portrayed in Arthur Miller’s play of the Crucible are the impact of the government and the opinions of society. The government in tiny ways gives the public an image of what a problem is and then follows public opinion for popularity. A great example of this is given by Miller’s Character Reverend Paris a minister in Salem that is blaming others so that his reputation may not ceed.
He can truthfully deny what the clergymen said about the police force calmly handling the demonstrators. In opposition and in a somewhat sarcastic tone he stated, “You warmly commended the Birmingham police force for keeping “order” and “preventing violence.” He of all people would really know how colored people were treated. He followed with an excellent use of pathos. “I doubt you would so quickly commend the policemen if you were to observe their ugly and inhumane treatment of Negros here in the city jail; if you were to watch them push and curse old Negro women and young Negro girls…” The clergymen should feel obligated to recant what they had previously said about commending the police
King is patient and understanding to the criticism and views of his fellow clergymen. He seeks to find common ground with the clergymen; he politely and respectfully argues every point they bring up. He does not lose his temper but simply asks them to walk a mile in his shoes to understand why he needed to heard. He patiently lays out all reason why he was fighting to end a battle that had lasted more than three hundred and sixty years. King does not take insult to the clergymen’s criticism but he gently counter argues every point they bring up.
Edward’s diction and tone gives his listeners and readers an eerie feeling, a fear for sin, and an awakening for the wrath of God about to come. On the other hand, there is Equiano, who persuades the horrors of slavery in attempt to abolish the slave trade. He appeals to our senses with phrases such as “galling of the chains”, “shrieks of the women” and “groans of the dying” (73), giving his audience a feeling of sympathy. With these statements he makes people question the morality of the situation, in order to get his point across, that slavery brutalizes everyone; the slaves, their overseers, plantation wives, and the whole of
