Speech Argumentative Essays Samples For Students

I began my journey as a writer when I wrote my first draft ‘Nightfall’ three months back. While writing that short story, I didn’t understand how a story had to be written and there were plenty of grammatical and structural mistakes. As I spent time in class, I began to understand how a story had to be developed and despite making slow progress, I still continued to have the problem of developing sentences without grammatical errors. I made a conscious effort to understand where I was making the grammatical mistakes and started to ...

In Plato’s dialogues, there is a particular dramatic setting that sets its literary meaning which the analytically-trained philosophers fail to recognize. The explicit arguments in the dialogues are paid attention to, and the philosophical position of Plato is yet to be determined. Plato chose not to relate his philosophy directly with his name. Philosophers from all around the globe failed to understand the innate philosophy by Plato due to over-generalizations and oversimplifications. The work has been misrepresented, and I believe that philosophers who are trained only analytically cannot be successful scholars on Plato as they must be classically-trained literary ...

Importance of communication and current state:

Communication is of supreme importance in us humans. Almost nothing would work if we weren’t able to communicate with each other. Each man, then, truly would live like an island, living in solitude and aloof of anyone else’s reality. For a concept that is so imperative to our social life, it is hardly ever acknowledged and frequently abused. Before the technology boom, communication was always face to face, where people could get a real time experience of our gestures, body language and expressions. But in today’s day and age, most of our communication is either written or distributed ...

The American constitution guarantees the freedom of speech in the part of the bill of rights. However, the constitution does not define it and the task is left to the state assembly and the judicial system. These branches of the state are responsible for the interpretation and application of the law in solving disputes. In its analysis, the Supreme Court has interpreted speech to include art and music, clothing, internet communication, as well as symbolic speech (Rudstein, 54). Freedom of speech is believed to have a number of benefits such as bringing a peaceful social change hence promoting peaceful persuasion instead ...

Freedom of speech should not be free.

Freedom of speech is the right to express oneself without limit. Everybody is entitled to freedom of speech as they are allowed to air their views on issues and topics surrounding them. This sees to it that democracy is exercised. Speaking freely ensures that everyone’s opinion is considered. In this manner, there is equity in the society. However, what people fail to understand at times is that, freedom of speech is not only about speaking freely to ones level best but rather putting the right to use responsibly.

In March 1947, the president of the United States of America Harry Trumann gave a speech to the congress to which came to be known as the Trumann Doctrine. The speech is very famous because of what he articulated. According to the speech, “We must take immediate and resolute action. I therefore ask the Congress to provide authority for assistance to Greece and Turkey in the amount of $400,000,000 for the period ending June 30, 1948. In requesting these funds, I have taken into consideration the maximum amount of relief assistance which would be furnished to Greece out ...

Rhetoric in martin Luther king Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech.

Introduction.

Martin Luther king was a clergyman, activist and a leader of the African-American civil rights in the American continent. King was a great national icon in the Americans history but however, there are few Americans today who are still not familiar with martin’s philosophical speeches like his famous speech, “I have a dream.” Which he delivered in Washington on March. At the time he gave this speech, America was in the middle of a civil rights movement that would end segregation and other injustices. King was well recognized for his use of ...

Introduction

For a long time bullying has been associated with children. Majority of the people assume that bullying happens when a smaller kids harasses an older one. While this is true bullying also happens in colleges with even more dire consequences than the one experienced in the case of little ones. College bullying is slightly different from kids bullying. Its effects range from physical to psychological in which case it can be devastating. It includes hazing, intimidation, assault, cyber bullying among others. It makes no sense at all to abhor bullying and harassment in our colleges if we do not put into ...

Introduction

Martin Luther King gave his famous 1963 “I Have a Dream” at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, before a crowd of 250,000 supporters and a television radio audience of hundreds of millions worldwide. It is widely considered one of his greatest speeches and indeed one of the greatest of any American in the 20th Century, with a brilliant use of Ethos, Logos and Pathos to support the Civil Rights bill being debated in Congress and to call for full and equal citizenship for all people in the United States. Today the speech is best remembered for the pathos of ...

Efficient communication is essential to enhance effective co-ordination of the activities within any given setting. It requires the transmission of a clear and understandable message from one individual/office to another. The use of words or rather speech is one of the modes of communication. To be able to pass information in an effective manner, one needs to express the opinion of the majority especially in the political realm. This is particularly essential in political forums. The rhetoric aspect of speech is also considered essential especially when deriving a meaning from a given statement. From a clear understanding of these two aspects, speech is ...

In 2011, Charles Wheelan returned to his alma mater at Dartmouth College to deliver the commencement speech. In his opening remarks, he promised the group of newly minted graduates that his would not be the typical speech, and went on to offer what he called “six things no commencement speaker has ever said.” His main point was that he wished that his six points had been given at his own commencement, back in 1988.
In my opinion, I believe that Wheelan's speech is insightful because it brings out the ultimate message about happiness which allows us to make ...

The Iowa Caucus Victory Speech

This was a success speech by Barack Obama, when he was a junior senator from Illinois. The speech was delivered at Des Moines, Iowa, on the 3 January 2008, after a win in the Caucus. American citizens are the intended audience since the speech celebrates a political victory and later in the speech, Obama expresses his interest in vying for the presidential position. This speech shows that Obama is well informed of the problems that the American citizens are facing, and he is willing to make positive changes to improve the country if given the chance.
In the opening remarks, it is ...

is Preferable to Henry David Thoreau’s essay
"Resistance to Civil Government”

“The American Scholar,” and "Resistance to Civil Government,” are the writings of two great writers, who have made profound arguments in defense of their cause. Trying to choose one writer over the other is a daunting task; nonetheless, I must. Waldo’s writing is more developed and flows more smoothly than Thoreau’s; therefore, at this junction Emerson’s speech surpasses Thoreau’s essay, in plot structure, and supporting arguments; and this is the case I will argue.

Despite the fact that Thoreau’s reputation as one ...

A rhetorical perspective is an approach to the study of human communication based on messages and meanings. It is concerned with the ways in which humans symbolically assign meaning to the world and with the ways in which they attempt to induce others to share those meanings. In response to the rhetorical perspective on the Nixon speech some of the perspective in focus will be the willingness of his speech to address the various situations during that time. Close analysis of the speech itself involves breaking down its rhetorical element in order to determine how speech as a strategic response ...

Introduction

In the case of Synder V. Phelps in 2011, the Supreme Court upheld the decision that a Church’s protests and poems against homosexuality were not hate speech. The people’s speech was protected by the First Amendment. Members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas invaded the funeral proceedings of Synder’s son by displaying signs with messages such as “God hates you” and “You are going to hell”. The church members believe that as soldiers die in wars, God is punishing Americans for accepting homosexuality. The judge decided that although the public may not agree with the church’ ...

Analysis of the President’s Obamas Iowa Victory Speech

President Obama’s Iowa Caucus victory speech was an inductive argument predisposed on a given number of premises. These premises held the note of his speech and kept the public into a belief that his premise would be fulfilled upon assumption of Presidency in the USA. In as much as this speech was anchored on giving gratitude to the Iowa delegates and citizens for overwhelmingly endorsing his candidature as a Democratic presidential torchbearer, it was deeply entrenched on the following premises:

Abolition of tax breaks for companies that ship American jobs of overseas, and instigate a middle-class tax cut, ...

Abraham Lincoln delivered the second inaugural address on March 4, 1865. At this time, the country was torn by years of devastating war, however the forces of the North were nearing the victory over the Confederates. Lincoln had to take into account these circumstances when addressing the nation. And he certainly did that, as a detailed analysis of his speech suggests. Lincoln’s second inaugural address involves the effective use of rhetorical appeals and rhetorical devices as well as addresses the specifics of the audience, place, and time, which makes it an efficient political speech.
The audience of this ...

Introduction

People usually have prejudices against each other. They will even engage in hateful behavior. It is not all times that hateful behavior leads to hate crimes. “People engage in hateful behavior…still, no one really believes a Columbia lecturer is about to be lynched” The statement is not however conclusive or true, due to hate, a Columbian lecturer may be killed. Hateful behavior may lead to crime. Hate crime is different than other crimes and therefore necessitates to be treated differently. There are several reasons why the penalties should be high for these crimes. It is a highly personal crime since an ...

The First Amendment evinces the framer’s intent to create a “wall of separation” between church and state. The First Amendment provides that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” (United States Constitution, amend, I). While there can be no government establishment of religion, religion and politics have long been closely enmeshed. Since the inception of the nation, prayer has played a prominent role in government ceremonies (Lee v. Weisman 633). Beginning with George Washington, all presidents taking the oath of office conclude with the words, “So help me God” (Jonassen 861). Presidents and politicians alike ...

Winston Churchill, in his "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" speech, and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech still stand as monumental calls to action. Both men use rhetorical strategies that underscore their persuasive abilities, and both men speak authoritatively and convincingly. However, it is King whose gift of rhetorical craft and persuasive ability outdoes Churchill, because of his balanced approach to ethos, logos, and pathos.
In both speeches, King and Churchill establish a strong foundation of ethos from the beginning. For example, Churchill is very specific about details from Great Britain's battles in Belgium against advancing Nazi ...

The U.S. Patriot Act
Americans faced one of the most horrifying episodes in their history of the United States. Many individuals watched with horror as the historical landmarks collapsed simultaneously at the hands of terrorists. Who could forget the shock as the terrorist planes embraced the Twin Towers as the terrorist snuffed the lights of many innocent victims? As a result of this horror, the American Congress waited for only forty-five days before passing the USA Patriot Act in response to that fateful date of September 11, 2001. A number of delusion individuals convinced themselves that they reserved the ...

Physical appearance has long been linked to happiness - as social creatures, we communicate to each other nonverbally, and so we often give off the impression of happiness if we present ourselves in a way that is visually appealing to others. Likewise, that feeling is often reciprocated by these others, allowing us to feel good about ourselves because we look good. You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their appearance is telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting ...

When Americans think about censorship, the first things they think about are likely to be the American Library Association’s list of most banned books, pornography in print or on the Internet, and the First Amendment that gives citizens the right to free speech. Americans who are for censorship rarely see themselves as advocates of censorship, but as protectors of children who could be harmed by things they see or read. Americans who are against censorship often cite the First Amendment of the Constitution as the top reason why censorship is legally unenforceable. Many people agree that censorship is ...

Introduction

While the history of Political Parties very old phenomenon, but this concept got its mainstream position after American Independence. Globally, it is a known notion that monopoly is associated with corruption and exploitation (Diamond, 2001). If the rulers develop the feeling that no matter whatever they will do with their follower, if their official position is not in danger, they will exploit their official position. As political parties form the basis for a powerful democracy, it is beneficial for a country.

The presence of different political parties in the country ensure freedom of speech for the country. As the political parties associated ...

Analysis and Response

In this article originally published in The New York Times, on January 9, 1983, Marshall is discussing how she became a writer and what her influences were. Some of her influences were conventional:
I was sheltered from the storm of adolescence in the Macon Street Library, reading voraciously, indiscriminately, everything from Jane Austen to Zane Grey, but with a special passion for the long, full-blown, richly detailed 18th and 19th century picaresque tales: Tom Jones, Great Expectations, Vanity Fair, (6)
Elsewhere she mentions other famous white writers: Czeslaw, Milosz, Flannery O’Connor, Thackeray, Fielding, and Dickens. However, Marshall’s ...

In this paper this paper will examine very closely four stories by Flannery O’Connor and justify the use of the phrase ‘the pain of the past’ in the title. O’Connor’s life and background will be briefly examined, as will the historical context in which she wrote her stories. I will also examine other common features that are characteristic of her stories. The use of symbolism in her stories will be considered. The four stories I have chosen are ‘Geranium’, ‘The Barber’, ‘Greenleaf’ and ‘Everything that Rises Must Converge’ Each of the four stories will then be ...

Critical approach to security is a theory which emerged in the mid 1990’s as a result of a conference held in Toronto, Canada. It is based on critical desires which challenge the traditional approach to security. It argues that the state cannot be a sufficient object of reference to security and that the definition and the sources of security and insecurity should thought of in broader terms than in the traditionalist approach to security. It is from the above challenges that the constructivist theory to security was developed. The critical approach to security proposes the formation of conceptual answers to the questions ...

Organization Theories – Modernist and Post-Modernist Approaches

Abstract
Organizational structure determines allocation of resources, strategies and planning. The paper focuses on two theories – modernist and postmodernist theories (Aleazurra, 2016; Clegg et al 1999; Casey, 2002). The article ‘A critical analysis of media discourse on information technology: preliminary results of a proposed method for critical discourse analysis’ by Cukier et al (2009) talks of critical discourse analysis where the post modernist idea of questioning the validity of claims has been explained by analyzing a media discourse on a ICT project applied in university classrooms. The second article selected for the study is ‘The relationship between information and ...

With the developments of technology, it is imperative to denote that issues deemed relevant particular those that relate to human rights have since merged and made apparent. Anonymity as it relates to internet means being unacknowledged and unknown. An anonymous can make comments, post opinions while his or her identity remains concealed. With the above said, laws in regards to the same have since emerged owing the need to protect the privacy and freedom of speech of the anonymous. Anonymity as it pertains to internet being huge issue of concern, this paper will present arguments in favour protection of ...

Introduction

The Edward Snowden scandal exposed massive electronic surveillance operations by the National Security Agency, which may have involved considerable violations of individual rights to privacy (Puddephatt, et_al, 2012). Privacy is an inalienable human right, whose meaning has, however, defied cross-generational efforts to understand and assert. It underpins other fundamental human dignity, integrity, freedoms and rights, including the freedom to belief, association and expression. Despite the difficulties in defining and understanding privacy as a construct, especially in the context of constantly changing technologies, it is easily acceptable that it amounts to the ability to communicate/live with/in anonymity, without governments or other ...

The hubris documentary: selling the Iraq war by Rachel maddow was a movie aired on the tenth anniversary of selling of the Iraq war. It tells the story of how the American presidential administration deceived America into war by expanding the powers of the executive branch. The movie reveals the animosity of America towards Iraq. The movie starts with a striking resemblance to the 2008 series titled bush’s war.
The neo-cons were eager to invade Iraq. They lay down their strategy to the bill Clinton the then president. They say that the magnitude of the threat which depends for ...

Since as far back as society dates, the death penalty has been used as a means to punish severe crimes. Many societies have determined that taking a life unjustly of another should lead to the forfeit of one’s own life. In the 18th century BC, The Code of King Hammurabi of Babylon employed the death penalty for the punishment of twenty-five crimes. The first death sentence recorded was in 16th century BC Egypt. Christian Old Testament law, based of an “eye for an eye” based law required one committing a crime to make amends. Under that, murder could only be made ...

The Case against Banning the Word “Retard” by Christopher M. Fairman is an article, written with purpose of making a claim against language censorship and a claim for freedom of speech. Being a professor of law and having extended expertise in the question, the author offers the audience a fine example of rhetorical argumentation, expressiveness and persuasiveness. In the article, Fairman makes a clear thesis and supports it with balanced use of appeals of logos, ethos and pathos. Such a strategy makes the writing well-grounded, developed and relatable, which contributes to its rhetorical effectiveness and fulfils its purpose.

The place of woman in society has always been a very controversial issue; from culture to culture, from century to century the meaning of women’s rights and their freedom varies. In the article called “Do Muslim Women Really Need Saving?” Lila Abu-Lughod examines the real women’s role in what is nowadays called ‘War on Terrorism’. The main issue of her research is whether western community overlooks Muslim women in the right way. Her answer is definitely closer to being negative; “We now understand them as suffering from structural violence. We have become politicized about race and class, ...

Malcolm X, also known as Malcolm Little and El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, is a prominent figure in American history of the 20th century and, in particular, in the fight with white racism against black people. The attitude of general public and the American government to his persona drastically changed decades after his death. The culmination of the changed and now positive opinion about his actions, speeches and overall influence on the American society was reflected in the 1992 Spike Lee movie Malcolm X, where the infamous Denzel Washington was invited to play Malcolm, as well as in Malcolm X being honored ...

Society is dependent upon government to maintain order. Without government, society would easily crumble into anarchy; however, there remains a question about how much governmental interference is necessary in issues of free speech in the United States. The United States Constitution stipulates that every American citizen has the right to freedom of speech and freedom of expression, but the Supreme Court has ruled that these rights are not absolute. In the same way that an individual does not have the right to falsely yell “fire” in a crowded theater, so too is that individual restricted when it comes to obscene or ...

Introduction:

Censorship is the hindering of communication or free speech which may be considered offensive to public morals and which may be deemed as objectionable, sensitive or harmful. The suppression of such news and media may be determined by the government as well as private organisations. Censorship occurs within a variety of scenarios but usually includes the transmission of films and others arts such as plays, and in mediums of broadcasting such as radio and television. Of late, electronic media is also up for censorship and this includes the internet. Issues for the imposition of censorship are varied and may include ...

Barack Hussein Obama Junior was born on 4th August 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is the son to Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Senior. His mother grew up in Wichita, Kansas. His father, however, was a Kenyan from the Luo ethnicity in Nyanza Province. Barack’s parents officially divorced in March, 1964 when he was only two years of age. His mother then re-married another foreign student named Soetoro.

Thesis: Burning the American Flag should be illegal, and Congress should pass an amendment to the Constitution making it illegal

Introduction
Arguably, flag in America plays various purposes. In fact, many people in a nation have freedom of opinion and speech, but burning the American flag is a form of disrespect to the nation. Flag is a symbol of unity; hence, burning it is a total show of disrespect to American people and the state. For many decades, America has tolerated the desecration of its flag. As a matter of fact, the burning of American flag is a questionable activity, in that why should an individual burn the American flag and all it importance. Since the end of civil war, debates have been ...

Ever since the media became an important fixture in modern life, there has been a strong debate regarding what the media should be able to cover or discuss. The WikiLeaks scandal of 2010 is a perfect example of the government attempting to stifle a media attempt to release secret documents it did not want revealed – these documents were thought to be potentially embarrassing and incriminating, citing the government’s involvement in unsavory acts during the Iraq and Afghan Wars. Many have wondered whether or not things like this are right to release – whether or not the government should censor the material and prevent ...

How historically accurate is All Quiet on the Western Front?

Set in World War One, All Quiet on the Western Front is a harrowing account of the events that took place from the German perspective as it was adapted from the German novel of the same name, written by Erich Maria Remarque. The film follows a group of young men who, following a particularly patriotic speech by their head master, all sign up to fight for Germany in the war. Remarque experienced the war first hand and as such, his rendition of the events are trustworthy and reliable historically correct. Created in 1930, the film was released only a dozen years after the ...

The landmark ruling that sought to define the place of freedom of speech in the political landscape of The United States of America could spell the greatest danger to the democratic process in this great nation. This ruling is no doubt a blow to the increasing influence of corporate entities in the general elections. In the United v Federal Elections Board, which case’s ruling was delivered on the 21st of January, 2010, it was held that electioneering broadcasting was illegal if done within 60 days of the general elections, or 30 days in the case of primary elections. Although ...

The Abolition of Slavery
Introduction
Historians evaluate in several ways the distinctions and similarities of the North and South just before the Civil War. The North’s population was 50 percent more than the South’s. Blacks comprised just over one percent of the North’s population while about 95 percent of Southern blacks were slaves. The North emphasized manufacturing and commercial enterprises while the South focused on agricultural development, mostly with the labor of slaves (Pessen 1121).
This essay discusses topics related to the important issue of slavery ...

In an effort to create more perfect societies, people have historically relied on conformity and rebellion as tools of human progress. Humans have for centuries been pre-occupied with questions on how to create the best society. The ultimate goal is utopia, a world that grants everybody freedom and happiness. Heroes are often called and expected to emerge when people slide towards a dark path. The reality of the trade offs involved in the creation of better societies are well presented in Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” and Ralph Ellison’s “Battle Royal”. ...

In considering the potential contribution of linguistic anthropology to the ongoing reform of Native American education it is evident that there are various sources of information that demonstrate the need for major reform in specific categories of education. This can be applied in order to develop better practices for educating not only Native American students but students of various differing ethnicities. In developing these pedagogical reforms there are particular categories of education that should be focused on. In consulting on a tribes in a generic sense, the differing types of educational reforms that can be recommended on the basis ...

Introduction

This argumentative essay utilizes the mechanism of intertextuality to analyze three different English classics namely: Louisa May Alcott, Little Women (1868-69); R. L. Stevenson, Treasure Island (1883) and Beatrix Potter, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902). Intertextuality establishes the relationships between different texts, here ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’, compared how the reader was influenced by the depiction of pictures as an additional methodology. Little Women and Treasure Island targeted specific genders and age groups. This essay seeks to establish connections or influence between these different books.

Intertextuality enables the establishment of relationships between texts. Such can ...

The media has a great responsibility in educating the public on what is the social cultural scene in his country is really like. But in reality, the reporters resort to taking up stereotypical point of view, because most of them work for great conglomerates and are under pressure to write positively about the rich and sparingly and negatively about disadvantaged, such as the poor and the blacks. Rather than shifting the blame on poor public taste, the media should use its ability to reach out to the people in a responsible way.

In his 1996 State of the Union speech, President Bill Clinton stated, “If it means teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear school uniforms” The topic of whether or not school uniforms are a good idea in high schools is still a topic that is hotly debated. Some parents are happy about having a school uniform so they do not have to argue with their children about what they can or cannot wear to school. Some parents think that schools that insist on school uniforms are ...

Introduction

Benevolent despot refers to an authoritarian rule which is characterized by kindness and generosity. It also refers to enlightened absolutism which is a situation when rulers are influenced by enlightenment. Enlightened monarchs tended to allow religious toleration, freedom of speech and the press and right to hold private property. Most of them fostered arts, sciences and education.

Fredrick II, The Great had ideas of the French enlightenment in his youth and maintained the ideas throughout his life. Fredrick declined to endorse the Pragmatic Sanction of 1713. This was an idea which was very common with the enlightened monarchs and absolutists ...

Research and observation has proved that men and women speak differently when it comes to language style and gestures. The article, Linguistic variation and social function by Cheshire records some amazing findings that prove the difference displayed by men and women in language use. There is a unique way through which males speak that distinguishes them from their female counterparts. Apart from the difference observed in their vocal cords, women display a difference in tone and even expression. The difference in language use has been noted in different dialects where women have been found to use some specific words more than ...

Immigrants form a significant part of countries like the USA and other economically stable nations. They have what the locals term to be a limited access to the English language because it is not their mother tongue. The issue that underlies the speaking of broken English is identifiable in a language barrier. Language barrier refers to a limitation, not only in speech, but also in the understanding of English, which is the language in question. Amy Tan, in her writing that is titled “mother tongue,” recognizes the effects of language a barrier and the stereotyping it presents. The same issue is exploited in the a ...

Introduction

Philosophy is an important discipline which reflects people’s beliefs about what is true or real in accordance to individual values. Philosophy allows people to think rationally and hence determine the right course of action. The Early Greek philosophers were mainly concerned with justifying and answered questions on where everything originated (Rudebusch 2009 p 139). Educators surely need to have a standing point that enables students to understand why they think and act the way they do. Socrates and sophistry are both philosophies that can enable people to understand the logic and fallacies behind different critical facts. The two philosophies are ...

Introduction

The mention of Black Liberation Movement (BLM) brings to mind iconic black activists such as Martin Luther King Jr., Assata Shakur, Malcolm X, George Jackson and many others. The influence of these BLM heroes and heroines in America has spread to other movements and ideas about inequality. In the 1960s and 1970s many social activists looked towards prisons for political leadership while considering the prisons to be institutions of oppression and social control (Steinhauer, 2006). Prisoners emerged as icons of state repression and beacons of liberation. In the United States, black prisoners held special sway with their prolific writings ...

Abstract

Gun control is one of the most important political issues of our time. It has been shown time and time again from unbiased studies that the correlation between gun ownership per capita causes homicide rates by guns to increase. The issue is muddled though because of the powerful gun lobby and a media that lacks in its journalistic coverage on the issue. These factors combine to bring The United States to it’s current political stalemate on the issue.
Since the tragic events of Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, the issue of gun control has resurfaced ...

Human Dignity and Conscience in the Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Maya Angelou

At first glance, it seems like a very difficult task to find any real connection between the writings of Maya Angelou on the one hand and Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson on the other. After all, Emerson and Thoreau were Northern white men of the 19th Century who had never personally experienced the oppression of slavery of the type of segregation and inequality that Angelou grew up with in Stamps, Arkansas in the 1940s. Even though they both opposed slavery, and Thoreau was willing to defy the law and go to jail to uphold his principles, in the ...
