Liberty's Wrath Response Letter

Decent Essays
Good Afternoon Ms. Whittkamper:

Attached to this email you will find the latest draft of my novel Liberty’s Wrath. I have done my best to incorporate the suggestions I received from the initial evaluation. I eliminated “head hopping,” and endeavored to structure the novel in a limited third person point of view through the experience of novel’s main character William Blake. I also made a concerted effort to improve characterization by adding dimension to each of the characters through development of mannerisms, personality traits, and realistic behaviors. Finally, I reduced the length of the novel from 147,000 words to 117,000 words. I was unable to cut the length to the recommended 100,000 words. I believe that cutting the word count any

His said that his demonstration was for equality and it was nonviolent and legal but he was still put in jail.

    Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the best interpreters of the Socratic tradition of philosophy because of how he used Socrates' meanings of philosophy in his Letter from Birmingham City Jail. King Jr. not only stated great key points of Socrates ideas throughout the letter but he also had many of the same beliefs as Socrates. However, one can argue that King Jr. mostly defended a racial problem throughout the letter and Socrates faced the facts about philosophy and what he believed to be just, but King Jr. was also using philosophy to show that a law can be just in the eyes of people but really at the same time it is unjust. He used Socrates theories and questioning as a wakeup call to all the people in America; through philosophy he showed…

    1. In the first few paragraphs of Martin Luther King Jr.’s, “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” he specifically addresses the local clergymen, lays out his purpose for the letter, and creates an authoritative and well-organized tone. He makes his goal of wanting to prove he does belong in Birmingham to create racial equality clear by stating, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere” (800). Throughout this entire article King addresses the local clergymen and the white moderates; however, in this particular portion, he speaks directly to the clergymen. King establishes credibility with them when he states that he is “serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference” (800).…

    Upon reading the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptist, many commonalities can be seen in the wording of the documents and the spirit in which they were written. In all three documents the Framers of the Constitution’s belief in a Biblical worldview is apparent. A Biblical worldview holds that God is the answer to the questions of: what is the origin, nature, and destiny of the cosmos and what is the origin nature, role, and destiny of man (Martin, 2006). While this commonality exists between all three documents, they also differ in many aspects such as, tone, intended audience and purpose. To be able to understand the commonalities and differences between the three documents a summary needs to be given of the three documents.…

    Write a paragraph discussing a passage that inspired you, made you think, or frustrated you,and how it did so. The paragraph should be between 160-300 words, and you should cite the page number of the passage. 
 One of the more interesting passages in the book is located on paragraph 2 of page 21. The premise of the argument mainly revolves around the theory of “New Slavery” and how it can be used as a plausible explanation for the radical expansion of prisons in the State of California. For example, the author states that proponents of the new slavery theory believe that economic incentives such as access to a cheap work force represent a highly profitable opportunity for many corporations and thus, contribute to the overall incarceration rates and the expansion of prisons.…

    Paper #1: Chapters 1-3 of Voices of Freedom Looking back at the whole occurrence of the discovery of the New World it becomes evident the many hardships that the colonial settlers caused which justifies the egocentric intentions of the many Europeans. It seems that even though the settlers were fleeing from a country that forced views among themselves or caused unjust situations; the colonists were precisely acting on the foreign population, who they viewed as “lesser”, similarly to that of their homelands. Although at the time the occurrence was not obvious, looking at it from today’s standpoint, it is quit ironic. On more than one instance the settlers treated distinctive groups with an inhumane disrespect with no regard to their well-being.…
