<em><u>It is obvious that there is nothing wrong with entertainment.  As a psychiatrist once said, we all build castles in the air</u></em><u>. </u><u>The problem arises when we try to live in them</u>.

Television has reached the status of "<u><em>metamedium</em></u>," <em><u>that is, the instrument that directs not only our knowledge of the world, but also our perception of ways of knowing</u></em>, <u>which is already a danger</u>.

At the same time we can say that television has achieved the status of "<u>myth</u>". <u>Which means that it's about  define a way of understanding the world that is not problematic, of which we are not fully aware and which seems natural, which is not real</u>, <u>and remains another danger</u>.

A <u>myth</u> <em><u>is a way of thinking so deeply rooted in our consciousness that it becomes invisible, which makes it automatic and uncontrollable, </u></em><u>and that is also a danger.</u>

If this is the excerpt:

My dear Mr. President:

I was sitting in the audience at the Summit Meeting of Negro Leaders yesterday when you said we must have patience. On hearing you say this, I felt like standing up and saying, "Oh no! Not again."

I respectfully remind you sir, that we have been the most patient of all people. When you said we must have self-respect, I wondered how we could have self-respect and remain patient considering the treatment accorded us through the years.
 
17 million Negroes cannot do as you suggest and wait for the hearts of men to change. We want to enjoy now the rights that we feel we are entitled to as Americans. This we cannot do unless we pursue aggressively goals which all other Americans achieved over 150 years ago. <span>
The literary techniques I recognize are the following:
1) amplification - adding more words to a simple sentence to make it more valuable and understandable.
2) hyperbole - exaggeration
3) dramatic visualization
4) Imagery 
5) Pathos - use for emotional appeal.</span>
