1.10 Graded Assignment: Unit 1 Assessment: Literature with a Purpose
Total score: of 40 points
We have been studying literature with a purpose. We have read selections in which the authors make a statement or express an opinion about certain aspects of society and/or culture. They use their words to educate readers, but also to influence audiences and effect change.
Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote âLetter from Birmingham Jailâ with a purpose. He wanted to correct misconceptions about, and defend his belief in, nonviolent resistance to racism and oppression.
He directed it to a very specific audience; the white clergymen who criticized his actions. He used persuasive language and rhetorical devices to effectively influence his audience.
Thoroughly answer the following questions about Dr. Kingâs letter.
1. King had to communicate the right tone in order to earn the attention of his audience. By using direct address, he was able to do this. (15 points)
What is a direct address?
How did Dr. King employ this strategy?
What effect did it have?
2. King uses many allusions (a reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance) in the letter.
Choose 1 allusion King uses that is likely to be most effective with Kingâs audience. Quote the allusion below and explain why you feel is it likely to be the most effective. (10 points)
3. Authors use words to provoke, to inspire and/or to calm. King does all of these in his letter. Which of these do you think his letter most accomplishes and why? Provide textual support/quotes to support your response. (15 points)
