Contextualizing Civil Rights-Era Literature

Perform a close analysis of Use by Alice Walker, emphasizing the language and formal elements of the piece in order to explain how those elements relate to the broader significance of the work, its meaning, and/or significant themes.
Then, perform a close analysis of Martin Luther Kings Letter from Birmingham Jail, emphasizing what the main idea is, how the argument is structured, and what specific claims are made. Incorporate quotations from the text to support your interpretation.
Then read one of the texts through the lens of the other, indicating how understanding one alters your understanding of the other.
Finally, reverse that reading. So, if you previously explained how, for instance, Letter from Birmingham Jail alters your understanding of Use then for this portion you will explain how the poem impacts or changes your understanding of the historical piece.

No outside research is required or needed, use only the resources provided and the paragraphs should follow the steps listed. Use the close reading packet to analyze the two literary pieces.
