When he wrote "Letter from Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King was under arrest for promoting a peaceful protest in favor of civil rights. Although he used his letter to reinforce the importance of the black struggle for rights and how the protests were the result of a society full of injustice, King's main purpose was to respond and criticize the position of renowned Christian pastors in condemning the movements that blacks, led by King, were establishing.
King, being an expert speaker, was able to easily write his caste with a wide use of all the devices of rhetoric. He used logos with mastery when he said that black citizens were only responding to the injustices to which they were subjected and that if society were just, this type of protest would not be necessary. He used Ethos when he protested respectfully and criticized the position of his opponents in a cultured and noble way. Last but not least, he used pathos, when he evoked the emotions of his supporters when he affirmed that his imprisonment was part of a bigger and more powerful project, strengthening his message and establishing him as a great leader.

In the story, the protagonist, Henry, was given a million pound note by two brothers who made a bet on him. Their bet was how Henry will react and behave with the money given to him. One brother bets that with the amount of money given, he will be able to survive a month without any trouble, while the other brother thinks that with the inability to cash the amount will render it useless. When Henry first realized the reality of the situation, the amount of money given to him, he comments that men have the nature of blaming people for their own faults. He says "<em>but I knew men well enough to know that when they find they've given a tramp a million-pound bill when they thought it was a one-pounder, they are in a frantic rage against him instead of quarreling with their own near-sightedness</em>". Men find it hard to accept their mistakes upfront and instead, tries to put the blame on someone first. This is satirized in the above excerpt of the short story.
