Martin Luther King

"Letter from Birmingham Jail" and "Resistance to Civil Government" comparsion.
Aside from man fighting for freedom or beliefs, the question is whether one person can make a difference using words instead of wars. In “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and “Resistance to Civil Government” by Martin Luther King Jr. and Henry David Thoreau, it has been proved that words can work in society but in the right manner. Injustice is a very important thing to King and Thoreau when it comes to the people and themselves. Though the stories are both similar, they have their differences in how they changed the world.

The similarities between civil and political change and the accepentance of the consequences that were bestowed against both opinions will be mentioned. Also, the differences of the end to segregation and promoting to stop slavery between the stories will be seen.
