Hi. You forgot to report that this question is about "Letter from Birmingham Jail".

Answer and Explanation:

When writing "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Maritn Luther King proved to be a great author as he managed to use all rhetorical appeals and literary devices to convince readers of his letter that his cause was noble and necessary, in addition to showing that his arrest was completely unfair and cruel. Regarding literary devices, we can say that King used several figures of speech to intensify the meaning of his words. Initially he made several allusions to religious leaders, showing their lack of commitment to Christian values in relation to not supporting the civil rights movement. He also alluded to biblical characters, such as the apostle Paul, showing that it is the duty of every Christian to fight for justice and equality. Nevertheless, King draws several analogies that show how great leaders who were looking for beneficial changes in society like him, suffered terrible repressions just like him. In this case, he draws analogies that link their actions, the actions of Jesus, Bunyan, Martin Luthero, among others.

King does not forget to make a strong use of rhetorical figures, stimulating people's reflection on causes directly related to injustices towards blacks, besides stimulating reflections on the activist movement he was participating and leading, as well as promoting reflection on the objective and attitudes of those who repudiated this movement.

Regarding rhetorical resources, King makes a strong use of logos, stimulating logic in his narrative. He does this by showing arguments and facts that logically confirm his point of view, as well as explaining the objectives for which he will contend in this struggle. An example of the use of logos can be seen in the lines “Lamentably, it is a historical fact that privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily,” “We have some eighty five affiliated organizations across the South, and one of them is the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights, ”“ We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God given rights. ”

THE BLUE-EYED, BROWN-EYED EXERCISE by CommonLit Staff
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

1. Jane Elliot separated the group of blue eyed students from the brown eye students.

"On that first day of the exercise, she designated the blue-eyed children as the superior group. Elliott provided brown fabric collars and asked the blue-eyed students to wrap them around the necks of their brown-eyed peers as a method to easily identify the minority group"

2. She gave the blue eyed children extra privileges.

"She gave the blue-eyed children extra privileges, such as second helpings at lunch, access to the new jungle gym, and five extra minutes at recess. The blue-eyed children sat in the front of the classroom, and the brown-eyed children were sent to sit in the back rows"

3. She highlighted negative aspects of brown eyed children.

"She often exemplified the differences between the two groups by singling out students and would use negative aspects of brown-eyed children to emphasize a point"

Explanation:

From the the above elements Jane Elliot used to demonstrate the experiences of African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement, they are all similar experiences the blacks faced during that era.

1. There was heavy segregation: the blacks were not allowed to go to the same schools with whites, they were not allowed to enter the same bus, they lived in a different part of town from whites.

2. The whites had extra privileges, they were allowed to vote, they were allowed to become pilots while the blacks had no access to this.

3. The whites would magnify the negative aspects of blacks in the society and using the wrongdoings of a minority to judge how all blacks behave.
