Please title all your writings, and use a username that is either your name or nickname so we know who is writing. Only class members will be on this blog. Include your name in subject line for blog posts.
--For your first post, write a paragraph where you introduce yourself, remind us of your fun fact, and share some things about you. Let other students in the class get to know you a bit. Also, if you are comfortable to do so, please post a photo of yourself so we can always come back to this and associate your name with your face and introduction. Again, the blog will just be for our class and I will adjust the privacy and search settings.
--In your next paragraph, respond to one poem that I handed out. What two phrases or words struck you the most in this poem? Why? Did you like the poem? Why or why not?

--When done, post your Exploration on the blog. Then write Comments to three other writers in
the class. Respond to something specific
in his/her blog post, and use this as a way to get to know each other. This isn’t like Facebook, and this is an
academic blog, but you can still be thoughtful and have fun sharing ideas. Have fun!

The most important idea thought shone through was simply the want, the need for social reform in the manner of blacks being held down and treated as slaves still. The south, no more perfect from the north, had its own blend of racism that made life unbearable for blacks. This speech wasn't just about social reform, it was also about a glaring need to treat your fellow man as an equal and not lesser than such. Blacks had always been treated horrible. I.E. Slavery, segregation. Segregation was another injustice done onto blacks. Lesser places to eat, learn, live. This was a call to change everything as this country knew it, and realize that african americans deserved to be treated as anyone else, and the time to change was now.
ReplyDeleteThe most effective passages would have to be the last four paragraphs. Visualism is huge to me because i can internalize what the writer is saying and paint a picture based upon these words. Using every corner of the country to add hyperbole to what he's saying grabs my attention as a reader and an audience even more.
The purpose of this speech is simply to address that America needs to change and fully accept African Americans not just as citizens, but as equal people as well. No more unjust racism, no more segregation that only benefits the whites. Everything needs to be equal and anything less than that is unconstitutional. The approach was one that Ghandi used. Non violence to make your words stick even more. MLK gave this speech and to this day, it is one of the most iconic speeches ever given.
MLK was a terrific speaker. The evidence lies in his word choice, his delivery, and in the manner that he does both of the previous things. As a reverend, he is a man of god. He is educated and he is not going to go against the word of God. This helps him from the onset because his education will help him not just compile a list of grievances, but he may air these grievances in a manner that will be heard and received by the white community and those in power.
