... of the paper, he addresses initially the eight Alabama clergymen who had condemned his actions, later in the piece broadening his target audience to include the community and city before again focusing on the clergymen.

Secondly, King continues his use of logos through careful definition of terms. He specifies, “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral low or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law� (54). By defining just and unj ...

... because they were opposite in many respects. For instance, Gene was always concerned with his schoolwork. He seemed to be studying at almost every free moment he had.

... not count any enemy of my country as a friend-" (p.168 l.205-206). He further continues by stating "I will make her greater still" (p.168 l.210). In this last quote Creon declares that he will improve the city (she) by his rulings. Creon describes how his qualities make him a good ruler and how he would act in different situations.

Gilman suggests to the reader that by accepting the norms and roles of society and thus repressing one’s true desires and feelings can only lead to a loss of identity and sanity. This attitude is brought to light in the reader’s mind through observance of the woman’s increasing mental instability as she gives more and more life to the wallpaper each time she resumes writing. At the beginning of her story, the woman reveals much about hers ...
