I believe that Martin Luther King Jr. is addressing in his letter not to someone specific, but trying to help everyone around the country understand the situations hes placed himself in and reasons for his push for progress. At this time, many people were hard-headed and didn't want any type of "change." Where in reality, change at the time was the only opportunity for everyone to get along no matter what race or skin color. He was effectively addressing his point that the waiting game was no longer a act that he wanted to follow. Having heard the word "wait" so many times in his life that he was simply not going to abide by the word any longer. The letter read in a forceful and demanding tone as Martin Luther King Jr. was no longer settling and sitting around. He had a goal in mind and he was tired of sitting and watching his brothers and sisters treated differently. Equality was the only option he saw and I believe that his notion was heard effectively spoke.
The Either-or logical fallacies were the most commonly seen throughout King's letter. At many times throughout the letter he makes statement basically stating either we make changes now, or our surroundings will stay the same as they are. A perfect example is shown with multiple occurrences when talking
about the word "wait," and how much the word disgust him. More logical fallacies are seen in the form of begging the question. King speaks multiple times about the rights that his brothers and sisters around him do not have and should be given more freedom.
