2. Sally Student has been asked to summarize a passage from her PHI-105 textbook. In your own words, what is a summary? (Your response should be between 25-50 words please.)

Sally was asked to summarize the passage from her PHI-105 textbook meaning she should summarize the passage including the important details. When summarizing a passage, you should include the things you would highlight if you were taking notes. It should always be in your own words and shorter than the original text. When summarizing it is very important to cite the source.

3. Summarize the following passage in 25-50 words: From Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”: “In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and direct action. We have gone through all these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gainsaying the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the United States. Its ugly record of brutality is widely known. Negroes have experienced grossly unjust treatment in the courts. There have been more unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches in Birmingham than in any other city in the nation. These are the hard, brutal facts of the case. On the basis of these conditions, Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the latter consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation” (King, 1963, para. 6).

In 1963 Birmingham was the most systematically segregated state in the United States. Negro homes and churches were bombed which led to nonviolent campaigns that consisted of the four basic steps including: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and direct action (King, 1963, para. 6).

4. Write a paragraph interpreting the meaning of the passage taken from Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”: (Your response should be at least 100 words in length please.) “In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and direct action. We have gone through all these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gainsaying the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community.

in Birmingham than in any other city in the nation. These are the hard, brutal facts of the case. On the basis of these conditions, Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the latter consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation” (King, 1963, para. 6).

While reading this I took away that segregation was hard on all states in America, but Birmingham, Alabama was the possibly the most segregated of them all. African American’s had it very poorly and they protested using nonviolence. The four steps to a nonviolent campaign are : collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and direct action. There was no arguing that racism did not take over the community which lead to the bombings of African American homes and churches. No matter how hard these outcasts tried to negotiate, no one wanted to hear their sides of the story or cared about their feelings.

5. Based on the guidelines for the first essay assignment and the assigned readings for this week, what is a rhetorical analysis? What does it mean to analyze a text? (Your response should be between 50-100 words please.)

A rhetorical analysis is when someone is writing an essay on a specific topic and they are trying to change the readers mind on the topic that is being discussed. The person is analyzing and trying to talk about things all while trying to change the mind of the reader at the same time.
