Title: Bored? Come here!
Post by: zomniethe4 on January 05, 2013, 10:30:31 PM
And do my homework for me :D Yea I need to figure out the rhetorical devices for the following and I'm pretty far behind in class so if someone could just do this for me I'd be thankful :)

"Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the apostle Paul left his village of tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greeo-Roman world, so I am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town"

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

"Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better path"?

"The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jet-like speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse-and-buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter."

"But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at
will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; 
when you have seen hate-filled policemen curse, kick and even kill your
black brothers and sisters; 
when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers
smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; 
when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering
as you seek to explain to your six-year-old daughter why she can't go to the
public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, 
and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is
closed to colored children,
and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little
mental sky, 
and see her beginning to distort her personality by developing an
unconscious bitterness toward white people; 
when you have to concoct an answer for a five-year-old son who is asking:
"Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?"; 
when you take a cross-county drive and find it necessary to sleep night
after night in the uncomfortable corners of your automobile because no
motel will accept you; 
when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading
"white" and "colored"; 
when your first name becomes "nigger," your middle name becomes "boy"
(however old you are) and your last name becomes "John," and your wife
and mother are never given the respected title "Mrs.";
when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are
a Negro, living constantly at tiptoe stance, never quite knowing what to
expect next,   and are plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; 
when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of "nobodiness" 
then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait."

"But is this a logical assertion? Isn't this like condemning a robbed man because his possession of money precipitated the evil act of robbery? Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical inquiries precipitated the act by the misguided populace in which they made him drink hemlock? Isn't this like condemning Jesus because his unique God-consciousness and never-ceasing devotion to God's will precipitated the evil act of crucifixion?"

"When you... are plagued by inner fears and outer resentments"

"So let him march; let him make prayer pilgrimages to the city hall; let him go on freedom rides and try to understand why he must do so."

4-6 Have two devices.
