The main argument/point was for Martin Luther King to convince the clergymen why he did what he did and why it was necessary. He responded to the criticisms about his actions in Birmingham. He uses persuasive tones to try to influence the reader to agree with him. King wanted freedom for all African Americans. He argued that if African Americans were to stop protesting they would never get their rights.
Martin Luther King provides a valid argument using ethos, logos, and pathos throughout his letter. King also used metaphors, anaphora, and alliteration to help get his point across to his audience. King provided credibility by comparing himself to Apostle Paul, stating that just like him he too can bring aid to places he might not call home.
