    By using religion in various points of the text, King uses the clergymen's own knowledge against them to prove his cause just. He provides examples of lesser known stories to place a metaphorical spotlight on the clergymen in particular. The passages might not be recognizable to the standard American, but clergymen bound to serving the church understand these resources. An example of this is found when King goes into why he is in Birmingham in the first place. He cleverly uses stories…

His blueprint for writing involves isolation from mundane life, from thinking too rationally or dogmatically in order to get in touch with our creative side. Using the terms “the room”, “the door” and “the determination to shut the door” he maps out an environment, which helps him concentrate on his writing. Stephen points out that usually we need to find a comfortable place to write (in his case-his home). The next step is to get rid of all distractions (the shutting of the door) and then to set a certain goal, as well as to make sure that it is quite attainable. King believes, based on his own experience that the hardest part about writing is just to begin the task, writing “one word at a time”; once it starts its not overly difficult to maintain the flow of ideas and their transfer on paper.…
