Project 1

My plan, as of now, is to analyze King's use of ethos, pathos, and logos. I think I'll be focusing more on ethos and pathos because I couldn't really find any examples of logos.
I might also examine his use of diction, syntax and metaphors in the letter...and anything else I can find.
So far, I have divided my essay into several parts. One paragraph for ethos, one for pathos and so on.
I think it might have been more helpful if we had looked at more examples of this essay and gone over it in class. I have looked at several examples and they were slightly helpful.
I really think it's going to be difficult for me to "not" turn this paper into a long summary.

  1. Very true, in this paper it will definitely be hard to not summarize.
    You cna use analysis of diction, syntax, etc, to do a more indepth analysis of Ethos and Pathos.
    I too, didn't find much in the form of logos for the argument.
