1. The way in which linguistics are used by the author are meant to add emphasis on certain ideas, such as MLK in his "I Have a Dream" speech.
2. This question could be made for any text type. There is always room for improvement and it is necessary for any evolution to occur. Baldwin had, and to an extent still does have, a large amount followers

1. James Baldwin has succeed in simplifying complicated ideas through metaphors. The book itself is a linguistic device because this idea of love and learning how to love one another is very complicated.

2. I think they can because times have changed and people can criticize other people’s work and analyze his thoughts by comparing his time and today’s time.

1. I believe that the way he structured his thoughts through metaphors created a new way of viewing the situation. This gave him a different audience in order to bring a different type of action on the situation.
2. I don't believe that Baldwin's ideas and messages were written with an intention of wanting to be modified. I do think that his ideas can be used as inspiration and in a way as reference to make up your own ideas.
3. The purpose as an author affects the

1. The linguistic devices display the overall theme of love in the face of hate because throughout both essays, Baldwin discusses how love should be used to fight regardless of others thoughts or ignorance. Many times throughout Baldwin says that love is what needs to b shown for people to give it as well.
2. In my opinion, his ideas and movements can be modified because in his lifetime, change is not really seen. Although love is a great way to fight ignorance in an ideal world, in the real world it doesn't always work.
3. Baldwins intent does affect society to a good extent because it starts conversation between people to express their ideas. Baldwin also addresses many things that others are to afraid to do.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The reference to the races in the book and the author calm voice helped established the theme about unconditional love for everyone.
2. Baldwin's ideas and movement can be modified in anyway it need but I personally think that it is unique to Baldwin and therefore does not need to be change. His idea resemble his background and personal experience that lead him to fight for what he believe.
3. The society during this period will have a newer approach to the race issue. Rather than embracing violence and hatred, they will see that Baldwin's message of love for all have a better solution for the crisis they are facing during this time in history.

1. The linguistic devices help the reader understand the theme of the book.
2. His ideas can be modified depending on how others see his ideas but in my opinion, I believe that his ideas cannot be changed.
3. There is still racism existing today and people still have not learned to accept each other but to some degree today's society has progressed from past times. Today's society is not like the past but we still have a long way to go to get to the author's intent.

1)  it displays what was going on during that time and things they did to try and fix it
2)  i dont think you can modify it due to him being part of it so he knows what he is talking about

1. The reference to Noah's ark as linguistic device is a powerful piece because it explains the possible outcome of war if hate is not cease. Within the textual evidence of quotes, the quotes makes it seem impossible to forgot, all echoing the message of hope and love.
2. I feel like his ideas and movement is good as it is. It doesn't need to be modified because those are simple and straightforward.
3. The author influences may have not contribute much to society at this time, maybe, afterward it did.

1. The linguistic devices of illusions, analogies and other aspects helps the reader to deeply understand the theme of the hardships of love and acceptance.

2. This ideas and movement of James Baldwin can be modified now as we, as a society, know the power of legislation and advocating.

3. James Baldwin affected his society in both positive and negative ways. He was seen as a prophet to some, and as someone filled with only nonsense to others. He inspired many, as well as challenged others. His ideas of love and acceptance was ironically not accepted by many. Most of the people believed in the power of violence- such as the Black Panthers. Some of his black community had problems with him and his ideologies, as well as most of the people in white communities. Nonetheless he impacted the community in his ideology, thus they considered the power of love.

1. The usage of quoting from the letters in the book is extremely effective. It gives a sense of how the overall theme is a serious want of change. That people wanted things to change in the past.

2. No work is perfect, and his writing was written for his time. The message he portrayed then is still effective now regardless of the question of race. He already set a good enough foundation of, if someone doesn't like its okay. Don't force them to like you but teach them

3. It's essentially my second answer. He wrote a extremely strong message for the struggle that was meant for the time it was written in. The message of how people should be able to learn to accept and love each other was a strong message then. And still a strong message now.

1). The linguistic devices display the overall theme of the book through symbolism. Baldwin mentions the distrusts he developed on the church throughout his life and how it was not helping spread love among races.
2) Yes. I think that his message of love can only have a certain extent. Sometimes change requires a different approach.
3) I think Baldwin's message had a profound effect during his time. People read what he had to say and I think they agreed we what he said, And his message of love was aligned with of King's.

1. It helps strengthen Jimmy’s argument by making it straightforward and easy to understand.

1.  the linguistic devices display the theme of the book by giving us hints/quotes from the bible and James was trying to use the church and love through the church to bring us together
2. Yes because I think its a great mindset but not everyone believes in the church or not everyone thinks that they or people should be loved and accepted. Getting to their appeal might be hard as it was back in the 60's
3. James was foreshadowing what could happen if they continued to hate each other. while the conflict is still relevant it is in different context.

1.) The devices allowed for a greater messaged to be displayed in the book. His main idea was to spread love and have his own community understand what he stood for. His devices allow the theme to be more clear and have a deeer connection to the overall idea of the book.
2.) After analyzing his ideas, his idea of love could be changed since society continues to fight against discrimination. Some of his ideas may contradict other’s opinions on the issue but overall they still mostly apply to society nowadays. The love and hate relationship has changed which means his ideas could be modified.
3.) The author’s intent had a large effect on society because it talked about problems they still faced and how he thought they should deal with them. During this time period, racial discrimination and segregation was still a very significant topic that was talked about which  makes the purpose more significant.

2.) His ideas can and should definitely be modified, because after learning all of this information he ultimately did settle and use the religious aspect of his writings to his advantage and that is not something we should continue to use when there are other methods.
3.) Well, he uses ideas that were widely socially accepted for the time period in order to reach a big audience and that worked out for him.

1. The linguistic devices used throughout the book emphasize the underlying struggle to end the division between blacks and whites. By drawing in the reader through different perspectives it enables them to put themselves in the place that Baldwin has created and are truly living.
2. Baldwin's ideas and movement is truly his own work by seeing how others proclaim their own. His message has similar and different ideas to other people, but is truly his own because its based on the personal knowledge that he has experienced.
3. Baldwin is drawing in society so that they are able to acknowledge and understand that the way things are during this time aren't working. Not only that but he is bringing up many controversial ideals that are many were not willing to talk about at the time.

1.) You can truly see in the first letter that he really loves his nephew and that kind of shows how he expects people to love others
2.) If he had grown up in a different environment, his writing would be very different. To change the ideas, change the perspective, either the writer's or the reader's.
3.) I think it is very hard to measure the effect because it isnt the only source of change. For example, it may help us see things differently but not someone who hasn't read. Or someone who hasn't read may be affected by someone who hasn't.

1.  The linguistic devices can include the word diction that James Baldwin uses to display the theme of love as a powerful weapon/tool/power to unify diverse community together.
2. After analyzing James Baldwin works, his ideas and movement can be modified. In my point of view, his ideas are suggestion to make changes to the injustice. It is not permanent ideas. He is brave to share his resolution to end the injustice he observed in his community.
3. The author intent affect the society during this time period to a good extent because it is persuading the extremeness of the racism faced in society. Specifically, it is effective of James Baldwin sayings because the people felt the injustice treatment and understand James Baldwin's points.

Martin Luther Kings “I have a dream...” speech inspires me to believe in hope. His speech is inspirational because he’s trying to make us believe that we could all come together as one and have equality for all. If and when all the people in America come together we will rise in prosperity.

I think that the United States still has the same problems that were faced in the 1950s and 1960s. For example the Black Lives Movement, although the civil right was fought for race equality and the laws have changed but the people of color are still being treated differently and unfairly. Martin’s Dream did become a reality but I don’t think he would be happy to see where we are right now as a nation and a society. If he was still alive today, he would continue to be an activist for people of color.

MLK's dream speech inspires me to not give up on hope. In his speech, he described all the things that he wanted to see happen in the future. That is what he wanted and he fought for his dream. He struggled to make it a reality but in the end, it came true. He did not give up and he did not give up on hope. His speech inspires me to not give up on my own dreams even though it is a struggle, one must not give up, ever.

Overall the video inspired me to take a look at society nowadays and see how much has changed since the day Martin gave his “I Have a Dream” speech. There have been many changes which include more equality for African americans but it can’t be said that his dream completely came true due to some places and people still dealing with racism and injustice because of the color of their skin. It inspires me to see a brighter future and hope that things will continue to get better. In hopes that racial discrimination will continue to decrease as the years go on. The speech itself can be seen as a motivation to join others in the fighting against these discriminations, although there isn’t legal segregation anymore, a division between races still exists. His words and the constant saying of “I Have a Dream” make it seem like he hopes and sees a better future which is very inspiring to other minorities, especially those who struggle with these issues on a daily basis.

- The speech made me think of how close Jimmy was with MLK and how influential the speech was for not only every minority. But even for powerful leaders that helped the movement. That people of America and the history of America was built on all its hardships. That people struggle together, but in the end they'll rise together.

2. What America means to me is that it once was a beacon of hope but has been through a lot with civil conflict back to the slaves to now. America means that there is going to be struggle in a new place but if you stay long enough it might turn out well. Maybe not for your generation but for the next one to come after you.

1. The I Have a Dream speech has inspired me as MLK Jr. was standing up for what he believed in confidently. This speech, in essence, is the foundation of the hope for a future of no racism. This of course may be impossible. This speech inspired me because there is soo much passion that can be seen flowing throught MLK as well as the crowd around him. All the individuals in the video had, or agreed, with the same vision as MLK. This is key due to the fact that changing a system is hard, but not impossible.

The speech made by MLK is one filled with determination and passion. He made this evident through his repetition and use of words with some sort of connotation to obtain both a reaction and a response.

1. Civil rights movement age. Big Speakers with big speeches. All in one mind of racial equality for all.. Such thing makes it relatable to other minorities' struggle to find their freedom and rights in this society, alike. America means birth of a new nation. We are a multinational state with a diverse ethnic group with gave birth to many different identities.

The speech makes me feel like there is hope.  The repetition is powerful;  it creates a feeling that freedom and justice are attainable.
America is a complex, complicated thing. Its history is painful at times, and yet it doesn't keep me from calling myself an American.  However,  I do feel a tension about being American because I am firstly Puerto Rican. It's ...weird to have to explain why I am American. I guess, like Baldwin, I sometimes feel like "American" doesn't include people like me.

However, there is still a lot of racism going around today. I think that MLK’s dream has not fully become a reality because of all the problems still going on.

America has always prided itself in being the land of the free; however, the word freedom only applied to certain percentage of the population. The fundamental ideals that America represents is not distributed to everyone inhabiting it accordingly. Creating an unjust and biased world where the "whites" are always favored than any other race in one way or the other. MLK's dream did become a reality but to a certain extent. He was unable to see the changes that he outlined in his speech but he was a powerful being that pushed this movement forward by giving the people hope. Although, there are different forms in which America is still segregate today but it is not the same as it was before.

3. America is complicated. While Martin's dreams did come true in the aspects of desegregating areas and joining hands with people who have a different skin color, there have been several conflicts regarding race that shows us that America is not necessarily up to Martin's standards as a great nation. America is a great nation but it has it's flaws.

Even though there are obstacles, it is better to give it a try than never.

I think that King's dream has not yet become a reality. Although different traces of his dream can be seen as newer generations become increasingly open-minded to others who are not like themselves, there is still many barriers that split up the human race. In the current United States of America, people are starting to speak up to make changes to society and bring everyone closer together. However, there are many who speak out against speaking out because of sensitivity and that creates more division.

1. This speech inspires me to remain open-minded and treat everyone as equals. King's strong voice and repetition in his speech helps him strongly convey his message of freedom, Freedom from prejudice and hatred. As King, states we should support one another to become what America was meant to be. A place for people of all background to come together and prosper along one another.
2. To me, America means freedom and opportunity. Opportunity to be whatever you want to be, regardless of where you come from. You can be at the lowest of the lowest, but you can still make it to the top.
3. Currently, America is divided by both sides due to the current political climate. In my opinion, King's dream became partially true. We see people come together more than ever. But hate still remains out there with a number of hate groups and contrasting conflicts.

The I have a dream speech inspired me in a way that in our society we are to be free. Many people for years have been negated from those rights, that they should be free.

1. Baldwin sounds like he talks with love, his choice of words and how he says it are all soft.
2. I don't know if it's because Baldwin's vibes are groovy for me, but part of me agrees with his ideas and wish to open up minds a little too but it all feels soft when I think there should be a balance and a little hard would be nice to even it out.
3. At the time, I don't think majority of the people were listening to Baldwin's views because I think for them it was too soft when at that specific time period they wanted/needed some hardness, not necessarily violence but "if push comes to shove" type of thing.

1. The speech inspire me to believe that there is hope for the future. A future where there will be no more hatred to people of different backgrounds. But instead, we will learn to love another despite our differences.  America is a land full of opportunities but it has also a place where a lot of hate happened. Discrimination and racism in the past toward the African American population was a horrible part of our history. However, I believe that America had come a long way since then to be where it is today. We are making progress toward King's dream, but there are still racism toward minorities population in the U.S.  King expressed his strong feeling toward a future where everyone in the U.S. will get equal rights and be able to love another despite of different skin colors.
