Exigence is when an issue, problem, or situation prompts someone to write or speak. • It is the motivating factor, the driving force behind why the writer or speaker is delivering their message. • While the purpose of a text is what a writer hopes to achieve with their message, exigence is merely what causes a person to sit down and write. • For example, the purpose of Martin Luther King’s speech, “I have a dream,” was to promote racial equality in the United States--particularly for African Americans. In his speech, King pinpoints how America had failed to keep its promises, and that the law had victimized African-Amerians, leaving many in poverty, and as King put it-- “an exile in his own land.” • The exigence for this speech is the historical context, or situation in which King lived. Racial segregation, prejudice, overt racism, and the growing civil rights movement--were all factors for why King wrote and delivered his speech. Had King lived in ancient Rome, the exigence and purpose for his rhetoric would surely have been different. • Your task is to read Cesar Chavez’s essay “He Showed us the Way” and analyze the purpose and exigence of that text? • Remember--the purpose of a text is what the writer hopes to achieve. • Does the writer want their audience to think a certain way, behave a certain way, or take action on some injustice? • The exigence, meanwhile, is what stimulates, inspires or provokes the writer to deliver their message. • Understanding the difference between exigence and purpose allows you to more specifically analyze texts rhetorically. • Cesar Chavez: He Showed. us the Way: https://ufw.org/he-showed-us-the-way-... • Cesar Chavez: He Showed us the Way Video: • Cesar Chavez: He Showed us the Way • 👉👉👉Support me by buying mugs, t-shirts, notebooks and more! https://www.etsy.com/shop/TolentinoTe... • 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more for online teaching resources: • https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxVn... • 🎥 WANT TO CREATE VIDEOS LIKE THESE? • This is the software I use: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinm... • Books I recommend: • The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century by Steven Pinker: https://amzn.to/38m0FWm • How to Argue with a Cat by Jay Hendrichs: https://amzn.to/2MWQXCs • The Elements of Style Fourth Edition: https://amzn.to/2MZeent • On Writing Well by William Zinsser: https://amzn.to/30ouPnJ • 👨💻 LET'S CONNECT • Instagram: / tolentinote. . • Facebook: / tolentinotea. . • Twitter: / tolentinoteach • Facebook ELA Group: / 24111. . • **Disclaimer: Tolentino Teaching is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and AWIN, affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to www.amazon.com and http://paidforadvertising.com/
