The Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.



         The presentation is based upon the speech Robert F. Kennedy gave on the assasination of Martin Luther King Jr. His message to the people comforted and assured many on the steps he will take as president to rid all injustices, including the discrimination of color.  He  informed the citizens of the tragic event, yet proposed a change. Kennedy urged all Americans to unite and destroy prejudice of any kind once and for all. The speech covered every literary aspect except classical oration, induction and the toulmin model. However, the other points made were superb and almost impossible to argue against. The deduction of the passage expressed the purpose of the speech percisely. By referring to Martin Luther King’s assassination, he is able to show an example of how discrimination can ruin a country. Therefore, his argument is clear on why it should be stopped.          
        Props are given to Annie and Arus for having crisp points describing every existing aspect of the speech. They were to the point, yet said all that had to be heard. Presenting, they had great communication skills with the audience by having constant eye contact while keeping an exciting tone of voice. Although a few more pictures and a better color scheme would have made the presentation more vibrant, the content of their work remains excellent. The topic was intruiging and educated many on this shaky period of American history. Well done!
