"Letter From Birmingham Jail" Purpose and Audience Questions (pg. 610)

  1. To show the fact that he is in jail and the clergymen are the ones who put him in there, which leads into his main points throughout the letter. 
  2. To show that he believes the men want what is best in their minds for their community. In a way it is ironic, due to the fact that the men have done incredible, immorally wrong things in order to achieve their dreams and aspirations. 
  3. King uses the words "us" and "we" showing that more than just the clergymen are the intended audience. Also the fact that he is showing and representing the black community as a whole. 
  4. The thesis is "But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms." It is stated.
