Martin Luther King Jr.'s tone towards his audience is truthful because he uses his experience from protests and being an African AmeicanAmerican to help his audience know more about the problem from his side of the story. An example of this is on page 4, “when you take a cross-county drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable corners of your automobile because no motel will accept you; when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading "white" and "colored"; when your first name becomes "ni??er," your middle name becomes "boy" (however old you are) and your last name becomes "John," and your wife and mother are never given the respected title "Mrs."; when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are a Negro, living constantly at tiptoe stance, never quite knowing what to expect next, and are plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of "nobodiness"--then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait.” I think this supports the topic sentence because Martin Luther King Jr. writes here some of the thingsreasons of why it's hard to live in the conditions that they’re living in under thesethe existing laws. Another example on page 2, “We began a series of workshops on nonviolence, and we repeatedly asked ourselves: "Are you able to accept blows without retaliating?" "Are you able to endure the ordeal of jail?" I think this supports the topic sentence because they were willing to take hits for something they believed in and that theythey were moving towards non-violenceadvocating non-violent protests because they knew that being violent wouldn’t get them anywhere.
