"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

Response to Project 1

For project 1, I aimed to run a clear concise analysis. Rather than go through each section point by point, I decided to go ahead and analyze the work as a whole. I picked out the specific goals King had, then determined the best way to classify his arguments used to achieve these goals.
His argument was easily split into an Ethos and a Pathos base, with more analysis set into his specifically planned out use of Diction and Syntax to back up the Ethos side, and Imagery and Allegory on the Pathos front.
It was difficult to spend too much time analyzing his use of Point of View and Audience, as they did not truly contribute to the argument, other than giving the base point to the argument. His tone, on the other hand, helped to back up both his Ethos side, with a scholarly attitude, and his Pathos side by seemingly filling his words with a righteous fury at the injustices he was arguing against.
