Since we can't do your essay for you, I'll just get you started!

You really want to focus on discussing the diction, and metaphors King use. Also, look at the situation. The circumstances in itself make it powerful, don't you think? =)

 "Will we be extremists for hate or will we be extremists for love?" Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. states this in his famous " Letter From Birmingham Jail" in which he responds to white clergy-men who critize him for " unwise and untimely demonstrations". During the jail sentence he serves, he writes this letter where he addresses the clergymen and expresses his attitude toward the statements made about him. He constructs his response through the use of little six-tear-old mind already begins to develop bitterness towards whites. This kills the future of America [children] and scars them for eternity. The powerful statements compressed to create the masterpiece that is the "Letter From Birmingham Jail" sends a strong point out to all of Dr. King's oppressors. The perfect blend of allusions and personification with powerful and persuasive diction sprinkled all around brings to life one of Dr. King's greatest and most effective writings

The list "Pendanski wakes everyone, Stanley tries to jam the shovel into the earth, Stanley thinks his shovel is defective, Stanley sees Zero’s pile of dirt." is the correct list that shows the narrative structure of the excerpt.

If we look into the excerpt, the list mentioned above follows the correct narrative structure because after Pendanski wakes up everyone, Stanley as well as the others are forced to jam the shovel into the earth.

However, Stanley could not jam the earth though he tries to with all his might. He thinks that his shovel must be broken. Then finally he looks at Zero’s pile of dirt and wonders how he could do such hard task so easily.
