Observation 5

After reading the Letter from Birmingham Jail and reading the Martin Luther King, Jr. children book I noticed a lot of similarties between both text. In the beginning of letter he starts off very caring, sweet, and almost innonence. In comparsion to the childern's book the book begins with him as a child. Children are mostly characterized as innoncent, sweet, and caring. In the children's book it also, shows his religious side. It compares to the letter in that he makes a lot of religious references.
Especially on the first page in the third paragraph he makes a lot of biblical references. Also, throughtout the book you see a lot of church windows and artwork of Dr. King being in churches. In the children's book I also noted of how the artists placed "White Only Signs" through most of the pictures. By the artist doing that it not only relates to the entire letter, but it also relates to with Dr. King writes specifacily when he states, "Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within it bounds." I like how both bodies of work show whites being sorry for their actions, but it doesn't bring them the similar concerns like blacks.
I also like how he uses the work "tension" in the letter. It is very evident in the children's book the tension that occured throughout Dr. King's life. In comparison to both bodies of work you can tell jus how intelligent Dr. King was. It amazes me how he explains and unjust and a just law and how accurtly tells of independence in Asia and Africa. It is very apparent that for that time period he was more educated then the whites who disliked him.
