rifatmursalin 13 / 36 Sep 25, 2011 #2I wrote a similar essay for AP Lang last year.Let's see. Number 1 is definition. MLK defines justice in his letter. Support your thesis by quotes from the text. If I remember correctly, he says "justice delayed is justice denied". Therefore, he defines justice.For consequence, try to mention something where MLK explains a cause-and-effect situation. I can't think of any from the top of my head.Comparison is the easiest one. MLK uses comparison throughout his essay. Your thesis could be something like: MLK employs an abundance of comparison to convince his audience. Use metaphors as your examples.For testimony, you can mention anything where MLK quotes others. I remember he states his counter-argument by quoting them. So, reference that.Good luck.
