Another purpose of the speech is to get legislatures to act.

A/2 The First two pages of Mr. King's speech are positive, acknowledging what is happening, but then on page three he uses more negative words to explain their terrible situation, therefore resulting in a negative tone.]]> 2017-02-02 16:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151207584 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151207805 A1: The purpose of Dr. Kings speech is to eliminate racism and give equality to all. He wanted to achieve this by giving a speech to urge Legislators to pass acts

A2: The tone of this speech in the first two pages is negative in the way that African Americans are being treated. On the third page Dr. King starts to become more positive. (paragraph 7)]]> 2017-02-02 16:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151207805 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151207893 A1: The purpose of Dr. King's speech is to motivate/inspire African American's to stand up for their rights, and to convince legislators to pass the Civil Rights Law. Dr. King stresses this point through parallel structure, for instance, in page two paragraph three, Dr. King stresses that legislators need to pass the law now. He starts the last three sentences with, "Now is the time..." Thus, we know that the point of Dr. King's speech is not only to inspire African American's, but to convince legislators to pass the Civil Rights Law, and (in a sense), argue that we are born with Natural Law and African American's should not have to go through all this trouble simply for their rights. 

A2: Although the negative words dominate the positive words, I wouldn't say that the tone is completely negative. However, Dr. King uses negative words to greater emphasize that they need to have their rights. This is the persuasive part of the speech; where he attempts to convince legislators that they need to pass the Civil Rights Law now. However, in the third page, the positive words now start to dominate the negative words. For example, he uses words such as, "majestic," "freedom," "destiny," etc. Therefore, we conclude that the overall tone of the speech is indeed positive, but Dr. King uses negative words to emphasize that the Jim Crow laws and segregation of blacks is unjust. ]]> 2017-02-02 16:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151207893 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151207922 2017-02-02 16:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151207922 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208032 A/1:  Dr. King's speech informed the legistalors and the rest of the world that African Americans have the right of freedom that we earn when they are born.  Their main goal was to end the Jim Crow Laws and pass the Civil rights laws.  
A/2: Throughuot his speech he used a neutral, but passionate tone. In the first paragraph of page 3, you can tell the words used have become more negative. For instance, it uses words like bitterness and hatred.]]> 2017-02-02 16:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208032 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208093 2017-02-02 16:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208093 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208145

In Dr. Martin Luther King speech he sets many tones. I think in the first three pages he sets a very serious tone. Next, off the bat you could tell people start to pay attention really quick because of the, "hook." I think this speech can be categorized as a persuasive and a motivational speech. ]]> 2017-02-02 16:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208145 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208368 Q1/ The purpose of the speech was to inspire the people that were being opposed and convince/persuade the legislators to pass the laws and end the oppression. 

Q2/ the tone of the speech in the first two pages is disappointed/frustrated because he talks about how nothing has changed for 100 years and the tone changes to an inspiring/passionate tone in the third page. ]]> 2017-02-02 16:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208368 gbstark21 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208518 A1: The purpose of Dr. King's speech was to persuade the legislatures to sign the Civil Rights Act and encourages African-Americans to stand up for what's right and defend it. 

A2: The tone of the speech in the first two pages is that states words about the issue and the way that we need to defeat it and the third page is more negative word choice and how we need to work together]]> 2017-02-02 16:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208518 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/qnjev569mb5l/wish/151208634
A1/ They wanted to tell the audience that African Americans want to be equal and that there needs to be a change and to also inspire blacks to make that change.
