Question

In "All Together Now", Jordan uses appeals to emotion and appeals to reason to try to persuade her readers that her views are important. In a paragraph, cite one example of each kind of appeal in her work. Then, explain whether you find Jordan's appeal convincing, supporting your ideas with logical reasons and relevant examples.

This is what I put- She uses Dr. Luther King Jr. as an example. She said " Think about the 1960s when Dr.Luther King Jr. was in his heyday and there were marches and protests against segregation and discrimination. The movement culminated in 1963 with the March on Washington"> She uses this to compare how he was successful in the 1960s, doing powerful speeches, protesting against segregation and discrimination.

Answer 1

Is that an example of each kind?

Answer 2

I would not say it's either. It's an example of something she thinks is important. What is it that Ms. Jordan thinks is important? How does she try to convince YOU that you should also find those things important?
