The Censors Martin Luther King Jr Analysis

Freedom Collection 2 The idea of freedom can be seen in Collection 2 of our textbook. Freedom can be seen in the speech, “I Have A Dream” by Martin Luther King Jr, when he was speaking out to everyone about his dream to have the same rights as white men. A lack of freedom can be seen throughout the short story, “The Censors” by Luisa Valenzuela, when Juan discusses about how every letter is carefully read, which is an invasion of privacy. “Reading Lolita In Tehran” by Azar Nafisi also showed a lack of freedom, when the author discusses the lack of rights that women had to put up with.
In King’s speech, “I have A Dream,” the main topic is freedom. In paragraph 16 of his speech, he was saying that all men are created equal. Martin Luther King Jr. was saying that all men were created equal, no
In the second paragraph, the author states, “... all this time the freedom, maybe even the life, of both sender and receiver is in jeopardy.” If Juan writes something in the letter to Mariana that looks like some kind of murder code to the government, both the receiver and sender could either end up in prison, or execution. This is true, because if someone puts something that sounds threatening to the government, in that letter, both the receiver and sender could get into really big trouble. Another evidence of a lack of freedom in paragraph 2, it says, “He knows that all letters pass from hand to hand and go through all sorts of tests in the huge censorship offices and that, in the end, very few continue on their way.” Juan fears that, if he puts something in his letter that can be in there or is missing something in the letter he had wrote to Mariana, his letter might not ever get to her, and he wouldn’t know. It is important, because if someone writes or puts something in a letter that they shouldn’t have wrote or put, their letter will never get to the person they wanted to send it
