How can writing be used effectively to send a message? When I began reading "I Have A Dream", the opening paragraph sparked my interest for two reasons. The essay, "Among the Condemned", by Charles Dickens, captured my attention for two reasons. The differences between the three works were in their purpose and in their writing style. Can you imagine how different the world would be if no one had ever found a purpose for writing? I was very impressed with the language and the rhetoric he used in his speech. This gives me a clear message as to his viewpoint on racial inequality. Even a hundred years before this speech took place, Abraham Lincoln sent the same message. The second reason, my interest was sparked, was by the level of motivation that I felt in his words. Throughout his speech, I felt as though anger was prevalent.
