His final purpose of the speech was to attain freedom for his fellow African American citizens who were being treated unfairly during that period in the country. He starts his speech by trying to grab the audiences attention that, that day was going to be one of the most important days in the history of America. Both the extrinsic and intrinsic ethos can be seen very powerfully throughout the speech. His extrinsic ethos is very strong as MLK had been a civil rights activist since very in his career and in the essay he points out some facts for example “signing the Emancipation Proclamation”. MLK is seen as a credible figure
Instead of losing hope, dropping everything and surrendering, they fought for what they thought was right. After confronting unimaginable adversity the characters find a new depth within that they didn’t know existed. Their actions demonstrated what individuals can accomplish when faced with overwhelming disruption to their everyday lives, while having to fight for survival. The novel Tomorrow, When the War Began shows that the characters have to go through the chaos and trauma of having to change from teenagers to growing up and making mature decisions and choices. They also have to change beliefs and principles in order to survive.
According to Dr. King, why can the Negro community no longer wait for action? He states that the Negro community should be ready and motivated to fight this prejudice that has been upon then for so long, and that this is the time for the Negros to fight for their equality. He states, “There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair.” King no longer wants to be in this abyss and wants the best for his children and the generations to
African Americans have the power to succeed in the classroom on their own determination. Not only do they succeed in the classroom, but it also helps them learn acceptance and tolerance for people different from themselves which will play a role in higher education and the workplace. In today’s society African Americans are employed and owners in diverse careers. Before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, there were only certain jobs that African Americans were allowed to work. Many Caucasian Americans believed a completely fallacious myth
They could not stand for the discrimination and they were going fight for justice. The audience that came to hear the speech had the same goal as Dr. King. They want to fight for the Negros. Dr. King’s Talk Card effectively reach the goal he wanted to express. At the very beginning of the speech Dr. King said “I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.” His goal is to fight freedom for the Negro
America’s oppressed can still be stirred to action with the words: “These are the times that try men’s souls” (Paine 637). A soulful person can no longer allow themselves to be subjugated by injustice and evil. A national emergency should not be the only time the people of America feel a stirring of patriotism. Unity should help us through times of threat to our homeland and in discovering ways to ease the hardships of our disadvantaged. America has no room for the “summer soldier and the sunshine patriot” (637).
There is a saying in the Oklahoma City Police academy, “bring everything, everyday.” This statement is a lesson to the recruits to make sure they have everything. Because you never know what you are going to need, like black cross trainers, which is what I did not bring. I failed when it came to following through on the statement of “bring everything, everyday.” I did not bring my cross trainers, honestly because I did not think we would need them. This is exactly the type of thinking the training staff at the Oklahoma City Police academy is trying to train out of the recruits. In this memo we will cover why it is important to train to bring everything, everyday.
One of the most important things to analyze is the speech objective. As a notable civil rights leader, King’s main objective was to motivate his followers, mainly civil rights activists. His objective was to motivate them to continue their strenuous civil rights work and motivate them to overcome the seemingly unchangeable conditions that they were dealing with. The primary message being delivered was that Blacks in America were not being treated fairly and that they were going to continue to push for justice until it was achieved. He gives examples, such as the fact that most Blacks in the Deep South were still not able to vote and that racial violence was still occurring throughout the Nation.
Instead of settling for the minimum education people should strive to further their education and be the best they can be, no matter what it is they are doing. Many Americans never accomplish what they want to do in life and my idea of fulfilling my American dream is to do exactly what I want to do and to be the best I can be. My idea of the American dream would be being treated equal no matter how different you are. I also believe Americans should fully understand their civil rights and never settle for less. After all this is America where someone with motivation and a dream can make all things come true.
In Martin Luther King’s acceptance speech for the noble peace prize, he articulates that nonviolence is a perfect answer to the crucial political and more question of our time- the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression. Individuals of the black race were patronized and attacked due to racial injustice. MLK created a notion of nonviolence in order to end this injustice. He emphasizes that demonstrating a nonviolent demeanor is a much powerful force, which allows social transformation. However in order for social transformation to exist we must all develop a mentality/lifestyle that rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation.
