King’s Writing: Fit For a King
Effective writing is often a product of a writer’s passion. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is a classic example of effective writing as a result of for about the topic discussed. King’s purpose is to urge his fellow ministers and other Caucasians to join the fight for racial equality, which he does successfully through carefully constructed arguments, deliberate use of a level and scholarly tone, and the use of language appropriate to his audience.
The arguments that Martin Luther King used in his letter answered all of the accusations made against him thoroughly and logically. The accusations that King concentrated on were that the direct action taken by he and his followers were unjust and untimely. To combat the assertion that his actions were untimely, King outlines just how long the population has waited for justice, stating that “We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God-given rights” (696). ... Moreover, King points out that “… [he] has never yet engaged in a direct action movement that was ‘well timed,’ according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation” (696).
