Letter from a Birmingham Jail

 For two classes from now, I’d like you to highlight and annotate your copy of “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” with a focus on rhetoric.  Color-code the major Greek rhetorical strategies.  Point out other examples of good rhetoric.  This PowerPoint will provide a basic review of some terms you could consider.

 Dad, I know you’re going to say I shouldn’t be able to borrow the car again – because last time I drove into that house and all – but next time I promise I’ll be more careful.

 One of the basic Greek rhetorical strategies  Use of emotional appeal  For only 15 cents a day, you too can save a starving animal.

 One of the basic Greek rhetorical strategies  Use of an appeal to authority  You can’t tell me I can’t eat in class – Mr. Ross said it was OK!  Considering I am an Eagle Scout, I probably would know how to tie knots.  According to the Bible…

 One of the basic Greek rhetorical strategies  Use of an appeal to logic  Think facts and figures and logical if-then statements

 A form of reasoning that proceeds by juxtaposing contradictory ideas and synthesizing or finding areas of agreement between them.  Sort of like a Venn diagram does, right?

 To move off track from the main subject.  Did I ever tell you about the time that I went snowtubing on an active volcano? Ah, but I digress.

 Repetition of words at the beginning of phrases.  “I have a dream…I have a dream…I have a dream…” – MLK

 Repetition of words at the end of phrases.  It’s like anaphora at the end of a sentence.  You work hard in school because you’re a great student. You do all of your homework because you’re a great student. You’ll ace this test because you’re a great student.

 A sentence that delays the introduction of the subject or the verb until the end.  Just when you thought he couldn’t get nerdier, Mr. Ambrose brought back the rat tail.

 Repetition of a clause of the word that appeared at the beginning of the clause.  “To each the boulders that have fallen to each.” – Robert Frost

 The correspondence of words within successive sentences or clauses.  “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”  You might also note this as epanalepsis, or as parallel structure – and you’d be right!
