Respuesta :
In the king's letter called "Letter from Birmingham Jail," he is wanting to form an alliance that has both blacks and whites in it so they can grab the attention of the rich white businessmen attention and they tried to bring the races together to help get black people jobs at white stores to do away with segregation.
My initial thesis statement would be:
King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is particularly powerful and effective because of the literary devices that King employs, such as allusions, repetition and analogies.
I would then look at the questions and answer them:
Is your thesis statement one sentence? Yes
Does it answer the question? Yes
Does it use specific words? Yes
Does it take a stand? Yes
Could someone have a different interpretation? Yes
Does it answer “Why does this matter?” or “So what?” No
I would then adjust my thesis so that it answers all the questions:
King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is particularly powerful and effective because of the literary devices that King employs, such as allusions, repetition and analogies, developing the idea of the importance of the civil rights movement.
