In Thoreau’s letter he uses a lot of emotional and logical appeal. He talks about how the government should just be there to insure the freedom of the people and not be abusing power by deciding to get in control of peoples private lives. He says how each man should have the right to be able to live his life how he wants and that the government should not be able to intrude and try to take control of his personal life. He is trying to appeal to the people who are reading this which are probably the citizens who live near him, and he is trying to prove a point to the people in government that they are no more important than the citizens and they should have no control over their lives.
Mlk Jr. seems to use more ethical appeal than Thoreau,
