read the excerpts from dr. king's "letter from birmingham jail" and answer the question.

[9] i have travelled the length and breadth of alabama, mississippi and all the other southern states. on sweltering summer days and crisp autumn mornings i have looked at her beautiful churches with their spires pointing heavenward. i have beheld the impressive outlay of her massive religious education buildings. over and over again i have found myself asking: "who worships here? who is their god? where were their voices when the lips of governor barnett dripped with words of interposition and nullification? where were their voices of support when tired, bruised, and weary negro men and women decided to rise from the dark dungeons of complacency to the bright hills of creative protest? "

[10] there was a time when the church was very powerful … in those days the church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society. wherever the early christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being "disturbers of the peace" and "outside agitators." things are different now. the contemporary church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. it is so often the arch-supporter of the status quo. far from being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the church's silent and often vocal sanction of things as they are.

in 3–5 complete sentences, thoroughly explain what effect the order of ideas in paragraphs 9 and 10 have on the meaning of the text. why does dr. king make his points in this order? what is the effect? provide at least two specific examples from the text to support your answer.

This ensures that the clergymen have no doubts as to what MLK's intentions are and his methods of enacting them.

In these paragraphs, MLK gives and introduction to his speech. He uses appeals to ethics and authority to get his point across to the clergymen

In this section, MLK uses another appeal to ethos in order answer the clergyman's claims. By stating his position in the S.C.L.C., MLK lets the clergymen know that he is not just someone off the street, he is maximizing his qualifications to be interfering with the problems in Birmingham.

Explanation:

1. The effect of the order of the ideas in paragraphs 9 and 10 are important because they show a passage. He writes about the actual churches, how ther are beautifull and massive, and then he mentions what church used to be in the past when in actually transformed the mores of society.

2. The order of the information alouds the reader to compare two situations: in one hand the beaty from out side those nice building structures (churches)and the question of what it´s done there, and the second part is making a point of how declain the job of the contemporary church shows.

Explanation:

1. The writter first stops on the details of the actual Churchs it's beatiful architecture, he also remarks the "massive religious education buildings". Then he questions what is trulyl important for a contemporary church, he questions the support of the church when needed when women and men were harmed because of the color of their skin. Then he says the contemporay church is weak, with an ineffectual voice.

2. The effect to the reader is for it to stablished superficial beauty, from what is really important in a Church. The last paragraph remarks the flaws in the system of the church. It provides a difference that can let the reader think of what is really important.
