Choose one of the following assignments described below.
Option A: Comparing the Two Speeches
Write a three to five paragraph essay comparing a speech by Malcolm X to a speech by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The first paragraph should introduce and summarize the basics of both speeches. Explain where and when it was given, and who was in the audience.
The heart of the essay should describe and compare the two speaking styles of these men. How does each speaker address the audience? As a friend? As a preacher? As a demanding teacher or instructor?
What kind of language is being used? Formal or informal?
Which speech was more effective in gaining what the speaker wanted?

Option B: Comparing Your Reactions to the Speeches
Pick speeches where you can see how the audience reacts to the speakers.
Write a three to five paragraph essay comparing the audience's reactions to the speeches to your own personal reaction, more than 40 years later.
Begin by describing the context of each speech: where and when it was given, and who was in the audience.
Describe how the audience receives the message. Do they connect with everything being said?
Are there parts of the speech that are not well received? Are certain parts better liked than others?
Does the audience speak or interact with the speaker?
Are there any reactions to the speech you find surprising?
Were you moved by the speeches?
Do they strike you as still relevant today or as outdated? Do you think an audience today would be moved by the speeches?
