Jonas, Martin Luther King Jr. And Doodle

     Jonas is helping his family take care of a problem newborn. His name is Gabriel, he had problems sleeping at the Nurturing Center. Jonas helps Gabriel sleep by transmitting memories to Gabriel. They become really close. Jonas finds out that Gabriel is in danger of being released. He talks to The Giver and finds out that release means the same thing as death. Jonas gets really mad knowing that his father killed the babies. That was his father’s job. Jonas wants to create a plan to change the community forever.

Jonas discovers what is really beyond his community, beyond all the rules and policies they have to follow; he decides to leave and give all of his memories to the rest of the community so they would know about what they have not seen or experienced before. Jonas discovers that the community has decided too many things for everyone. He realizes Sameness is not right, that it cannot last any longer. He thinks of all the what-ifs. What if the Elders choose a wrong spouse? What if the Elders choose the wrong job for someone?

He talked about racism, a non-violent approach, freedom and what should be demanded by the government. King showed these topics go hand in hand and you can't talk about one without bringing up another. Like explaining racism and all the things happening to his brothers and sisters it was almost inevitable that he mentioned how him and followers were able to used a peaceful protest to make a statement against violence, instead of reacting out of emotions with violence. King then talked about freedom should be granted, no matter the race. King thought that nobody should stand for being the last to receive what’s technically was theirs when it came to freedom, he believed we shouldn’t wait for the government, but demand freedom from the government.“Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds”(King page 1). He felt that living in the USA, freedom is

Jonas is just another member of his community. He spends his life following the rules that his community has imposed him. In all his life, he has blindly followed the rules and has never questioned them. For that reason, it comes to a shock when he receives new instructions that go against everything he has been taught:

King uses various examples in history on how many colored people throughout history have done amazing attributions to America that not many non-colored Americans can have the honor to say that they have done something amazing .Kings examples, include how colored Americans were at Valley Forge with George Washington , how the first person to die in the revoltion was a colored man, and how one member who designed the capital of Washington D.C. was colored. All have in common the fact that they were all Black Americans but the most important thing is that these contributions are the most patriotism anyone has done for the United States of America. Martin Luther King states, "Negroes had done more than their share." It helps the audience by explaining to them that colored people have done many things to create a great nation. it moves the audience by describing how colored people have done so much for the country yet have not been recognized for their air share of making a great

King addresses in this quotation the reasoning behind the sit-ins and the protests that are underway in response to the discrimination that is occurring. His argument about justice is that the single injustice of the discrimination of black people at this time unhinges the idea of justice is encompassing and in this case it is not encompassing the entire population. He speaks of this mutuality between all humans, no matter the race or background of a person and this injustice is truly an injustice to everyone, whether they are affected directly or indirectly by this

King is trying to connect to the crowd of people and trying to get equal rights for everyone no matter their religion,color of their skin. “King is connecting with his audience member not only as a fellow man of color, but as a parent of children whom he hopes will inherit a better world because of his actions in the civil rights movement now” he is saying that he wants his kids to have a better life than him because he got judged by the color of his skin and he doesn't want that for his kids. A 100 years ago slavery was suppose to stop but it didn't. “ Five score year ago a great America in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree is a great beacon light of hope it millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of injustice…..” this shows that even though slavery had ended it was still going on and people still had to do hard word just because the color if their

Something many people may not know if they have not done their research on the speech was that near the end of the speech, famous African American gospel singer Mahalia Jackson shouted to Dr. King from the crowd, "Tell them about the dream, Martin." Dr. King stopped delivering his prepared speech and started "preaching", punctuating his points with "I have a dream and that’s how the speech once called “Normalcy, Never Again”, got its title. Martin Luther King is disputing that there is time for a change and violence is not the answer. We should not follow everyone

Although the primary concern of this speech was the sanitation worker strike, Dr. King doesn't get to this point until later in the speech. He starts off with historical events from ancient Egypt to the Roman Empire to the Renaissance and then to the year the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. He then goes back in time to the roots of slavery and how it began. Throughout the entire speech, Dr. King displays a confident and optimistic attitude from the beginning to the end. As he remains hopeful, Dr. King is trying to encourage his audience to take action against the unfair racial treatment despite all of the difficult obstacles that are in the way. He reminds his audience of the successful events in the past and motivates them to not give up no matter what happens. In the last few minutes of his speech, Dr. King said "I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the

In his speech, he refers to Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation by stating, “Five score years ago a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Emancipation Proclamation” (Jr.). He is showing tribute to Abraham Lincoln about how that if it wasn’t for him, then he wouldn’t be where he is at the moment. King Jr. and other Negros were frustrated

King was aiming for action to be taken against all the injustice taking place in the United States. He felt that colored people were treated unfairly, and nothing was done to prevent or stop it so he decided to take a stand. The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the result of this speech. Most of the audience presented before King was well aware of his place in the country as an activist. He showed a great deal of authority, so it wasn’t difficult to

King carefully structures his speech to appeal to the different types of audiences. He created the speech to hit the hearts of everyone in America at that time, not just black people.

"I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream... I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" These words spoken by King are laced with the tool of pathos. He uses his words skillfully to relate not only to the African Americans in the audience but also the White Americans. He does this by using children in his speech. A want to protect children is something all humans, no matter race or cultural background can relate to.

Throughout the whole speech there is a message of togetherness and brotherhood. King was not talking about black togetherness. He was talking about everyone in the world coming together to improve themselves and their surrounding environment. A few people finally began to realize that togetherness was needed to accomplish their goals. Some black people along with some white people began to join hands, voices, and souls to fight for the rights that every human being deserved.

His speeches were based upon his beliefs and the dreams of a better society. King had high hopes and spoke of his high hope for the black people. King didn’t make racial slurs against the white people, but he put the white and black people on the same level. He argued that every man, black or white should have equal rights.
