HDUB Response

By Kevin "Hammertime" Rosenberg and Jo
1.) I think that they are both somewhat effective because they both went down in history as memorable, but Thoreau's paper at the time fell on deaf ears, and seemed too radical for the time period

2.) I think that they both are effective, but Martin Luther King's is much more effective because of his clarity and support, and because Thoreau seemed like a crockpot a little bit by insinuating that he didn't want any goverment.

3.) The Martin Luther King essay is more focused because the Thoreau paper skips around a lot and seems to deviate from the overall idea at a few points, like when he's talking about him going to jail.

4.) I would say that they aren't equally effective because Martin Luther King's essay grew into something bigger at the time, and Thoreau's didn't. Also, the beginning of Thoreau's paper I thought hurt his paper because by saying he supports anarchy, he comes off as too much of a radical.

(On a side note, my biceps are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge)
