Martin's Big Words Book Analysis
The books Martin’s Big Words was written by Doreen Rappaport and illustrated by Bryan Collier and I Have a Dream was written by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and illustrated by Kadir Nelson. Both of the authors and illustrators addressed the issue by explaining how Native American’s people were treated and how Martin and his words peace and love really meant. In these two children’s books having nonviolence and keeping the words love and peace in your head and acting upon what you are saying really shows people how far they can get in life.
In addition, these two books apply to Erikson’s stage 4 industry versus Inferiority because this book explains if you really want something you can get it through being nonviolent and using peace and love.

    Comparing Booker T. Washington's Speech And Abolition Of Slavery

    Martin Luther King Jr.'s in his I have a Dream speech. Like Washington, Martin Luther felt the need for a peaceful revolution which can be seen in the lines: "Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul..." whereas in Douglas's slave narrative he takes a more physical approach. Another difference between Martin Luther's speech and Douglas's slave narrative is the way Martin Luther writes using repetition seen in the lines:"I have a dream that one day...i have a dream today...i have a dream...". Douglas on the other hand doesn't repeat any specific word of phrase to achieve his point. Some similarities include the appeal to humanity and way to feel bad for one and also a desire and hope for freedom. The plea to humanity can be seen i Martin Luther's speech in the line "...the negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality" depict how terrible things were for African-Americans making people feel bad for them. Also, in Douglas's narrative in the lines "I scarce had strength to speak. He then gave me a savage kick in the side, and told me to get up. I tried to do so, but fell back in the attempt. He gave me another kick, and again told me to rise" he achieves to make one feel sorry for him and for all slaves through the way he describes how slaves were treated. In addition, both pieces display a longing for freedom. "I have a dream that this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed" is a line spoken by Martin Luther depicting his own thirst for liberty. Douglas expresses his own longing for self-determination in the line: "It recalled the departed self-confidence, and inspired me again with a determination to be free".

    Small Change By Malcolm Gladwell Analysis

    Malcolm Gladwell’s article "Small Change: Why the Revolution Will not be Tweeted" raises many questions about the potential contributions web-based social networking has attributed to the emergence of progressive social movement and change. "The revolution will not be tweeted" is reflective of his view that social media has no useful application in serious activism, which is a bold assertion, given the impact that social media has on today’s society. Gladwell believes that effective social movements powerful enough to impose change on longstanding societal forces will require both strong ties among all involved parties and the presence of the hierarchical organizations. In contrast, Gladwell characterizes the social networks as an interwoven…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of I Have A Dream

    Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream. The whole theme of “I have a dream” as mentioned earlier was a metaphor. The dream that he had was not really a full dream he had, it was more like a vision. Dr. King was not actually sleeping to have this “dream” he was looking in to what he would like to see, something that is not, but he can form the very image of what could be, in his mind. A big metaphor for his vision and the way he would like to see society behave in the near future, at the moment of the speech. Within this huge metaphor of “I have a dream” he has very many metaphors that are bigger and include other things to paint that image in your mind.…

    Martin Luther King Jr. Ethos, Pathos, and Logod

    Martin Luther King's use of pathos is astonishing as he appeals emotionally to both races of people. His use of the bible verse ‘“And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together,” emotionally draws his audience. He is using the bible as common interest among his crowd and to build a connection between the different races. He appeals to freedom throughout his speech to keep his audience engaged in his fight for freedom. He states, “And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.” He uses the American dream to…
