Letter vs. Speech

Martin Luther King's, "A Letter from Birmingham Jail" is different from president Obama's "More Perfect Union" speech in the different ways they take their positions. In Obama's speech, Obama is very passionate about changing America for the better. He wants to take a positive action for the people and the well being of the country and highlights all of the ways he wants to do that. In contrast, King's letter highlights all of the problems that he has been through and all of the bad things that people of the church, who are supposed to represent the Lord, are actually the ones who are committing these crimes. Both authors are very passionate about the subject they are talking about, and only differ in the way they approach it.
