Journal:

Part one: Describe what King does in the two sentences that make up his second-to-last paragraph (par 49) How do these two variations on an apology sum up his approach to argument in this essay?

Part two: Pick a law people might break because they think it is wrong. If you might do so too, write a journal in which you defend your actions. If you would not, write a journal in which you argue against those who would. Consider the reasons King cites for his violations of the law.

Also, you should read the document that prompted MLK to write this letter from jail.
