Good & Bad E-mail

Dr. Chura,

Due to a family emergency I will be unable to attend class tomorrow. I am up to date with my reading, and will ask Lauren to record the lecture and send it to me. May we meet on Monday during your office hours to discuss any further questions?

Thank you,
Mary Kleinman

"My Dear Fellow Clergymen"

I think this quote itself is very important in establishing why King is writing the letter. He could have said " to all of the citizens in Alabama", or "to all of society", but instead he strategically picks his audience as the Clergymen because they have power. Also, the church is a place of worship, and at the center of God is love. So, by addressing the church King can force the uncomfortable questions of inequality onto the clergymen, and by discussing the concept in philosophical terms he is able to attack the segregation at hand and point the finger to the silence of the church.
