https://padlet.com/tolle279/xvo8s3a70ye Yesterday, we looked at ethos, pathos, logos in Dr. King's work "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Not only is his writing packed with heavy sentence, allusions, biblical references and language, he uses every trick in the book in persuading his reader to see his side. In the Padlet, work in your table groups to come up with the following: 1. One example of Ethos used in King's letter (cite your textual evidence, page number and line number) 2. One example of Pathos used in his letter (cite page number and line number) 3. One example of Logos used in King's letter (cite the textual evidence, page number and line number) en-us 2020-01-28 23:55:48 UTC 2025-12-19 14:40:51 UTC hello@padlet.com tgehl21 https://padlet.com/tolle279/xvo8s3a70ye/wish/437555165 "There have been more unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches in Birmingham than in any other city in the nation."

Jr.'s letter from Birmingham jail he states "When you have to concoct an answer for a five-year-old son who is asking: "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?"" It creates a sense of sadness and oppression that you can feel towards the little boy that is going to live in a constant oppression based on the color of his skin. That he won't be able to go as far or get the rights and chances that a white male would be able to get on any basic day of the week. That he will forever be judged and labeled as a black man. Then for when his time comes he will be labeled as an easier target to hit. The sadness that this will be the normal conversation that a father will have with his son or daughter. This is not correct is the statement of this quote.]]> 2020-01-29 14:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tolle279/xvo8s3a70ye/wish/437562805 nhopkins21 https://padlet.com/tolle279/xvo8s3a70ye/wish/437562813 he was determined to stop segregation in the south ]]> 2020-01-29 14:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tolle279/xvo8s3a70ye/wish/437562813 https://padlet.com/tolle279/xvo8s3a70ye/wish/437563038 In the letter, he uses a lot of reasoning and logic in his points and arguments in order to maintain the emotion and professional tone of the letter, one example is found on page 1206 and lines 120 to 129.
