The first paragraph has a great felling for the human rights and tryies to persuade the reader using "Ethos" and "Pathos". In the case of the emotions he uses childrens as a weapon, clearly ecause childrens represent inocence and he explains what happens when black people's sons ask them why they can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, an how they have to deal with the type of question like "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?", using "Daddy" instead of "dad", giving a higher emotive sense to the sentence, trying to make the audience feel what they've been sufering all this time.

In the case of the values and moral he explains how white people are calling them, omitting their real names and calling them as "nigger boy Jhon" or how their wifes and mothers never get the respected title of "Mrs.".

Something that looks really important is the language he uses in hi letter. He treates white people as "sirs" and uses a formal language, using words like "legitimate and unavoidable impatience".

Again talking about moral, King. Jr talkes about the existence of the fact that there are two types of laws, just and injust laws. And how white people just say "Wait", using a capital letter at the begginig of the word, giving a feelling of authority of white people over the black ones. He says that one has not only a legal but a moral responsability to obey laws, but one also has a moral responsability to disobey unjust laws.

The second paragraph of page three talks about the laws, the just laws and the injust laws, he constantly use the word moral and just, to make an enfasis in what he is saying, he use logos of the definition of moral, he has a thesis, that supports the idea that a just law is a law that fit into a social moral code, and a non just law which is a law that doesnt fits in the social moral code, as you can se, he use a lot of technical words of  politial uses, so we can infer that his semantic feel is politics, and the hypernyms are words like law, just, fere, injustice justice etc.

He supports the idea of just law in three steps, the first he express his point of view, in what he belives in, the second step is  to explain why does he think like that, and he gives powerful arguments that support his ideas,  and the third step is to explain everithing, he use examples to make himelf cleare, so we can se that he use a clearly P.E.E. structure.
