For hundreds of years African Americans have faced racial discrimination in the United States. Over and over again contracts were made that gave them hope of equality such as the Emancipation Proclamation, the 14th and 15th amendment, and the end of the separate but equal law. However, they were continuously refused the basic rights that they were promised and were still forcefully separated from whites. Racist police and white supremacists evoked fear in African American men and women who attempted to participate in the rights they were entitled to.

King was able to utilize more rhetorical appeals than Hamer. In Hamer’s testimony, the genre allowed her to establish credibility early on, by introducing herself to the committee. Hamer’s main form of persuasion utilizes pathos in her testimony, by appealing to the audience’s emotions. Hamer had a limited time to speak because she was giving her testimony at a convention. Therefore, the choice of giving a personal testimony was the best way to attempt to persuade her audience, because she was able to tell a short story creating sympathy in the people listening and then relate that story to her intent to shame the committee into agreeing with her. For example, she explained what happened to her while in jail. She said, "The second Negro began to beat and I began to work my feet, and the State Highway Patrolman ordered the first Negro who had beat me to sit on my feet - to keep me from working my feet. I began to scream and one white man got up and began to beat me in my head and tell me to hush” (Hamer 1). The awful actions against her create a strong emotional reaction with her audience. On the other hand, King was fighting racism on a broader scale. The result was him giving a speech allowing him to utilize pathos, ethos and logos. He was able to take his time and establish his credibility at the beginning by starting his speech saying he is happy to be there and states that it will be one of the greatest freedom demonstrations of all time. He appeals to all different people in the audience by explaining hardships that African Americans have experienced, “Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality” (King 1). His words shame people who are responsible and create empathy in those that have too experienced similar

I used anaphoras, rhetorical questions, devices, analogies, and epigraphs to express the ethos, pathos, and logos in my speech. I wrote with anaphoras to get the point of America failing over and over again across to the reader. This gets the reader emotional and upset about America’s choices made, which makes the above pathos. I used rhetorical questioning to make the audience really think about the topic and to dissect all of the information given before the question. These form a light bulb in the audience’s head and again, make them think harder.

7:1-2. The beginning of not only the verse, but chapter seven, is an individual lament—the first words being, “Woe is me!” The individuality and focus on the prophet’s point of view is an interesting way to start the chapter out considering that his lament is for the nation of Israel. It almost gives the feeling that he is the only one feeling sorrowful about the forthcoming destruction. That idea is strengthened through what proceeds in the end of the first verse through the second verse.

In the introduction of my speech, I started by gaining the audience’s attention by playing with their emotions and making them close their eyes rather than just stare and pretend like they are listening. Some of the audience members did not follow through with the attention step, so I could have made it a little more interesting to where they wanted to close their eyes and participate. I hit all the parts of my introduction getting them to focus on the issue and why it is important. My main goal was to get the audience intrigued with the topic and want to listen to how bad the problem was and solution. All together for the introduction, I think I set it up well.
