- Who is the intended audience? All of the American community at the time
- Discuss how the intended audience is affected by or involved in the topic being discussed. Discuss the main characteristics of this audience, including values, assumptions, experiences, and stances that work for and against the piece’s interest. The audience is affected if the speech either made them believe in what MLK was saying or if they just brushed off what he said. The author was good at presenting the facts and how there was a problem in the United States community.
- How will the audience benefit from this topic? What can be done with the information provided? Why is it necessary to know this? What difference might it make? The audience will be benefited by this piece of work because they were faced with facts that proved to them that the treatment of the races other than white were unacceptable.
- In what context is the reader looking at this material? Are the readers already somewhat interested? Are they completely unaware? Are they antagonistic/hostile toward the topic, or doubtful about any point which might be made? Are they supportive/sympathetic? Are they neutral? How do you know? Why do you suspect this to be the case? Give your reasoning and evidence. The readers are interested because most agree with the author and demand change as well. For those that don’t agree they were faced with facts and hopefully the speech had a toll on them.
- What questions might the audience need to have answered? What questions might the audience be left with after reading/seeing/listening to the argument? What kind of background information might they need before they accept the claim? Some background information the audience might need is to know the treatment between colored and white people was no where near the same and change was needed immediately.
- What is the audience’s background (for example, technical or educational)? In general, are they prepared and able to understand, interpret, and apply the information in the piece? Who is the intended audience? The audiences background varies because it was set toward to show everybody in the country that racial equality was at an all time low.
