    The Roman church had not yet been visited and had no New Testament because the gospels were not yet being circulated in their final written form. Thus, this letter may well have been the first piece of Christian literature the Roman believers had seen. In Roman culture to choose to be a servant was unthinkable. Paul was a Roman citizen but chose to be entirely dependent on and abide in Christ Jesus (Romans 1:1). Paul’s impact was made known because of his citizenship and willingness to serve and obey Jesus…

    In short King’s first purpose of his letter is to use rhetorical strategies such as: ethos, logos, and pathos, to refute the letter issued by his fellow clergymen. The second purpose of his letter comes abruptly clear in the third page of his letter when King declares “… last few years I have been gravely disappointed… Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.” (King 3).

The author does such an excellent job in keeping the reader wondering who the killer is until the end of the book. Even though she gives us a really big clue, the author makes sure it is not too obvious. And this is the clue; “Given the scheme in question which is neither more nor less than the execution of justice upon certain individuals for offenses which the law cannot touch, there is only one way in which that scheme could be accomplished. Mr. Owen could only come to the island in one way.…

    Through “A Letter To My Nephew” and my research, I have found that, although there has been some racial progress through the years, racial issues still exist today. But in the claims of James Baldwin, white people have created them. In a video interview, Baldwin expresses the idea that white people have created the concept of a nigger, because they were afraid of something. He knows that he is not a nigger, so he relays it back on the white community and says, “You’re the nigger, baby, it isn’t me” (Baldwin). The word nigger was invented to separate the whiteness and threaten.…

    King's use of ethos and allusion in "Letter From Birmingham Jail" proves effective as a method of advocating for the credibility of his cause and civil disobedience. King writes, "Isn't this like condemning Socrates because he's unswerving commitment to the truth and his philosophical delvings precipitated the misguided popular mind to make him drink the hemlock," (paragraph 18, line 3). In writing this, King uses allusion to plead his case for the peaceful protests and their effectiveness. Despite the clergymen claiming that they are violent in nature because they lead to violence by the crowds, King argues that such events are not the goal of the protestors.…

    As an African American in the still very racist 60’s era, Harlem writer James Baldwin finds it imperative to write a letter to his nephew James, in which he forewarns and advice’s his still highly naïve nephew of the oppressive and ignorant America that he is destined to grow up in. While he cautions young James of the harsh and crude realities of the era, Baldwin prompts his nephew to not succumb to the stereotypes and expectancies of the white American man. Through the use of various rhetorical combinations Baldwin not only appeals to the emotional, logistical and credible senses of his audience, but by infusing Sturken’s concepts of memory and cultural products, he makes this historical piece of prose relevant to the 21st century by retelling…
