NOTES FROM TODAY'S LECTURE

Today in my American Literature class my teacher played a video for us on Martin Luther King Jr. and asked us if we could find any Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.  

Ethos means, qualities of a speaker/writer that we can trust. Pathos means, quality of emotion. Last but not least Logos, it means reason.

As we watched, I saw how MLK used Pathos in his speech, he was showing a lot of emotion. He looked very passionate, and put his heart into it. I also saw a lot of Ethos in his speech, he made us feel like we could trust him given all his statements. MLK gave us his reason, also know as Logos. He gave us a why. 

" withering injustice"- MLKJR this means that he felt that they were being humiliated in their lack of fairness. 

Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech was very touching to me, because on how well he spoke, and how he made us feel like we could trust him. You can even see that thousands of people trusted him too. He gave African Americans freedom. MLK gave them rights, and peace. I was very impressed and very touched by his passionate speech.
