Writers try to leave out parts that readers tend to skip. Martin Luther King uses this technique in his letter “Letter from Birmingham Jail”. In King's letter, his creativity and intricate use of diction create a meaningful letter. Not only does he illustrate colorful ideas, but he also uses rhetorical appeal and specific language and style to portray his message. Its purpose is to inform the priest of the blacks who are patiently waiting for the abolition of segregation and resentment towards the African American people. King explains the hypocrisy that priests participate in by referring to the ideology of the church. Most ordinary people are Christians and, through their common teachings, specifically affirm the principles they hold to in their beliefs. However, the unjust laws that the majority are forming against the minority go against their biblical practices of the Christian faith. Mr. King impudently states: So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists out of hate or love?

King recognizes that this will change their view of segregation and inequality. Furthermore, he knows that with suffering comes victory, just as Christ Jesus had to endure. Furthermore, he believes that Jesus is the most influential spiritual being known to the priest. Mr. King brought to their attention that he is an extremist just like Jesus. His view towards the priest is that if he must die for the sake of his beliefs, at least he will die with dignity.
