Pathos: And so they came by the thousands, from every corner of our country — men and women, young and old, blacks who longed for freedom and whites who could no longer accept freedom for themselves while witnessing the subjugation of others. Across the land, congregations sent them off with food and with prayer. In the middle of the night, entire blocks of Harlem came out to wish them well.

Ethos:And that’s the lesson of our past, that’s the promise of tomorrow, that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it. And when millions of Americans of every race and every region, every faith and every station can join together in a spirit of brotherhood, then those mountains will be made low, and those rough places will be made plain, and those crooked places, they straighten out towards grace, and we will vindicate the faith of those who sacrificed so much and live up to the true meaning of our creed as one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Logos:Dr. King explained that the goals of African-Americans were identical to working people of all races: decent wages, fair working conditions, livable housing, old age security, health and welfare measures — conditions in which families can grow, have education for their children and respect in the community.

From The Slave Ship To Freedom

I believe that From The Slave Ship To Freedom could be used as a children’s book for kids 10 years old and older. The fact that it is in the format of a children’s book gives me more understanding of the horrors of slavery. No child should ever have to see pictures of beaten men and women, yet slave children witnessed this horror. Kids only six years old could see their mothers, fathers, brothers, or sisters whipped relentlessly, the pure innocence of a child torn apart in a matter of minutes. If you think this should not be a children’s book today, imagine being a child younger than those who have read this, seeing these acts of evil committed daily. I agree that certain parts of From The Slave Ship To Freedom should not be shown to younger children but some should. I don’t think the use of the N word is offensive in this book. The book would be almost inaccurate if they did not include the N word. It is a part of history and slavery and should not be ignored. From The Slave Ship To Freedom is an accurate account of the life of a slave. I especially think this is a great book to read because it does not only focus on the physical beatings. Not many books about slavery tap into the mental pain that slaves had to go through. From watching family members being sold, tormented, and whipped could be more heart breaking than it being done to you. I believe the pictures help bring to life the cruel reality of slavery. When you see pictures of scars from whippings it evokes more powerful emotions than some writings. To understand the life of a slave you must put yourself in their shoes and this book does a great job in helping you do that. This book could be used at most ages to explain slavery since it goes from the beginning to end. From The Slave Ship To Freedom challenges us to try to understand every aspect of slavery from owner to the slave. It does not limit slaves to those who should only be shown sympathy, but people that should be shown great respect because of what they’ve been through. This book displays slaves as humans with emotions and heart. Many books about slavery just show them as people you should feel sorry for because they are enslaved and beaten. Although you should feel terrible that anyone had to go through this you should see them as more than that. From The Slave Ship To Freedom shows former slaves as fathers and mothers that have lost their children, families that have been separated. This book shows them as brave men and women that have been to hell and back and still persevere. Though this book might not be appropriate for children it is a great resource for anyone that wants to learn about slavery or African American Literature. From The Slave Ship To Freedom deserves to be taught in schools although controversial. It is a refreshing break from politically correct books on the same subject.

Ernest Hemingway A Moveable Feast

Ernest Hemingway killed himself at age sixty-two. He was a raging alcoholic–which was very evident in his writings–and did not even live to see these journal entries published. For this reason I do not interpret Hemingway’s writings as happy and wonderful at all times, but this does not mean he was always depressed. He did say he loved some of his friends, his now ex-wife Hadley, and the son they had while they were still married. Hemingway enjoyed life at that time, and made the best of what he and his family had.
While in Paris, Hemingway would usually spend his days writing and eating at cafes with friends or by himself. He said Paris was the perfect place for a writer to live and write. Hemingway spent most of his days in Paris writing, whether it was for the sake of his own sanity or to earn a living. The Hemingways were lower-middle class and did not always have extra money to spend on things other than food and paying the rent.
Even though Ernest Hemingway did not have much, he made the best of whatever situation he was in. He seldom complained about what he did not have and focused on what he did. He would always try to surround himself with good company, which usually included any kind of artist or writer. Ernest Hemingway would never publicly criticize those he did not like.
Hemingway always tried to make friends with good and interesting people, but would never deny someone if they only held one of those qualities. Ernest Hemingway would always respect famous writers even if he did not like them personally. Ernest Hemingway would never publicly criticize those he did not like. He would never give up the opportunity to learn more or become a better writer. He would never let his own beliefs hold him back.
Ernest Hemingway and Hadley would always try to do things and go to places that made them happy. They would save up for trips all over the world when they had the time. Ernest Hemingway emphasized in A Moveable Feast how important it was to learn and take in all that you can. One of his vacations in Austria with Hadley ended very badly, which led to them separating.

Ernest Hemingway did not include the details of what had happened in A Moveable Feast but we do know that he learned a great deal after the whole thing. Hemingway also takes all the blame for the fallout of their marriage, which shows great integrity. This is because it can be very hard to admit you were the slightest bit wrong, the fact that he admitted to being completely wrong shows how modest he is.
Ernest Hemingway met many people throughout his lifetime, many that loved his writing. Hemingway however was very humble about his talents and would always get embarrassed when people would compliment him in person. Even other great writers would compliment him, including F. Scott Fitzgerald who grew to become a good friend while the two were in Paris.
Ernest Hemingway was not always the best friend, father, or husband but he did try his best to do so. He held those he loved in high regard, and rarely talked poorly about them. He was honest with them about what he felt and his opinions without being insulting or rude. Hemingway also tried to help his friends through their problems, for example when he tried to help F. Scott Fitzgerald with his marriage.
This says a great deal about what Ernest Hemingway thought was important in his life. He was never overly materialistic and cared about the important things in life like his friends and family. Ernest Hemingway always tried to learn as much as he could, write as much as possible, and read as many books as he could.
Ernest Hemingway had had great experiences when he was living in Paris, or wherever he vacationed. He would always note the beautiful scenery and the wonderful people he met and became friends with. Whether he was gambling illegally in Austria or writing in Paris he always felt very fortunate.
We could all learn from Ernest Hemingway and how he lived his life to the fullest. Hemingway did not let many things hold him back from enjoying himself. Ernest Hemingway did not let money, friends, family, or a troubled past hold him back from living in the moment. He would always try to do what he could to make himself and others happy. Ernest Hemingway was a great writer and man, although he might not have thought so himself.
