The protest document is urging readers to assert their opposition to the draft.
It views conscription (forced enrollment in the military) as a transgression of the citizens' rights protected by the Constitution. That is why the document asks people to resist the draft ("Do not submit to intimidation") because if they consent, they are also part of the problem. Submitting and being silent about their rights would mean that they are encouraging freedom violation: "If you do not assert and support your rights, you are helping to deny or disparage rights."
Martin Luther King's main strategy in his speech was to persuade readers by stimulating sentiment and emotions regarding the struggle for civil rights.
This strategy is known as Pathos and is a rhetorical device heavily used in speeches, which portrays an emotionally impacting theme.
Although King also presented logical and ethical strategies in his speech, pathos was the main method of appeal he developed.
Through pathos, King showed that:
The situation of blacks was something difficult and needed to be changed quickly.
The fight for civil rights was being ignored by the rulers and this harmed a great part of the citizens.
Racism is something negative where everyone is affected.
The suffering of a people cannot be ignored.
King also uses pathos to show how sad it is that he is rewarded for something that has not been achieved and which is very disadvantageous to black people.

Answer:
uhh ok? what is that anyway???????
1. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
-Personification is shown in this excerpt, specifically in the line "I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs." Because the author is giving human like characteristics to the light.
2. Mingled with this horror, I felt the bitterness of disappointment; dreams that had been my food and pleasant rest for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete!
- The line "for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete" uses a metaphor because the vents that take place aren't literally hell, but they are describing it in a way that makes it feels that way.
