Letter from Birmingham Jail

I just finished my essay on Martin Luther King’s response to the “Public Statement of Eight Alabama Clergymen.” King wrote a “Letter from Birmingham Jail” to express his concerns with the Clergymen’s underlying racism in their statement. I wrote an essay illustrating King’s use of ethical, relgious, and emotional appeals and their effect. If you would like to read the essay, just download it using the link below. It, like all other documents on this site, are in .pdf format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view.

Hope you find it enlightening or at the very least, helpful in discerning meaning from King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.”

School tomorrow

I can’t believe that I completely forgot about that book I was supposed to read for History. It was this 200-page autobiographical account of Japanese-American treatment during WWII. I sat down yesterday, and read it all. It was called “Farewell to Manzanar” and was actually a nice read. By that, I don’t mean that it was “nice” or “fuzzy” content, but that it had a great flow to it. It seemed like the author was sitting there in a chair next to you telling you the story.

Thankfully, it was a good read because that made it possible to get through it all before its due date tomorrow! I also had a whole bunch of other things to do; like Music homework, and my portfolio for Dr. Ralph.

All I have left now are my English assignments, and studying for the Music exam. YAY!

Rescheduled

I take back the mean things I said about Garbage. The game was rescheduled for next week, which means we have 5 games in 7 days. Can’t beat that!
