I 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.

How to write a critique essay about MLK's Letter From Birmingham Jail

I'm a college student and I have to write a 3-page critique essay about Letter From Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King. I've already wrote an essay but my professor refused to take it as I need an expert opinion as well. I hope you can help me find sources as I've used Google and failed to find what I wanted.

Thanks in advance.
