Question

“But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.”

1.Why does King mention Socrates? How does it impact his argument and his audience?

2.How can you describe the pattern in words like “bondage” and “unfettered”? How do they appeal to the emotions of King’s audience?

3.How can you describe the patterns in words like “dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood”? How do these choices reveal a deep understanding of his audience’s values?
