To continue, the literary work of Gloria Anzaldua, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” is another prime example of communicative excellence which can be classified by the genre, autobiography.

In the second paragraph of King’s fifth page, he writes, “I must honestly reiterate that I have been disappointed with the church. I do not say that as one of those negative critics who can always find something wrong with the church. I say it as a minister of the gospel who loves the church, who was nurtured in its bosom, who has been sustained by its Spiritual blessings, and who will remain true to it as long as the cord of life shall lengthen.”
good use of text, although you might want to set off long quotations as a block

After reading Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, it quickly became evident that he was able to convey his message in a clear, concise, thoughtful manner that happened to make an impact and reflect his purpose of writing in the first place; that purpose being to make a change and bring forth peace.

Her audience can also be the oppressor, the cause of her uncomfortability. Anzaldua says, “I will no longer be made to feel ashamed of existing, I will have my voice: Indian, Spanish, White.” …I will have my Serpent’s tongue – my woman’s voice, my sexual voice, my poets voice. …I will overcome the tradition of silence.” (24)

“The commencement address is also an open invitation to pretend to know more than you do”. Poking fun at himself as the speaker. I also enjoyed his joke early on “Another motto I hold dear is if at first you don’t succeed hide all the evidence that you ever tried.” He later goes on to say “One consolation every commencement speaker can rely on is the universal truth that no one ever remembers their commencement address.
You do get Colins' comic tone but you don't stay on task: to analyze the speech in terms of genre, audience, and purpose
-
In the Commencement speech from Billy Collins, he opens with “I am only going to speak for 13 minutes”.

Rev. King was great at nonviolent protests
Can you revise this topic sentence so that it lets your reader know what the focus of the paragraph will be in relation to genre, audience or purpose? The paragraph seems to be off topic; not sure how it furthers your analysis

I like this passage because its brief and to the point. Rev. King is basically saying that he doesn’t normally take time out of his day to answer criticisms.
remember to keep your focus on purpose here
-
A genre is any stylistic category in literature that follows specific conventions. Examples of genre in literature include historical fiction, satire, zombie romantic comedies (zom-rom-com), and so on. … From this early classification, more genresarose, such as the split between comedy and tragedy. Into the audience of Martin Luther King jr in his famous piece of writing “Letters from Birmingham. As well as a commencement address from “Billy Collins”. We will also be discussing the purpose of the writing. The purpose is the author or speakers point of speaking. The final piece we will be looking at will be “How to tame a wild tongue” by Gloria Anzalidea
This is a helpful introduction with a good definition of "genre." But I am not seeing a definition of the other two terms. And the writing seems very rough: note errors in punctuation and capitalization
That said, you are introducing the terms and the works.
Could you also skip a line between paragraphs for more separation?

Gloria Anzaldua wants for her culture and language to be respected, for it to be considered separate from the English and Spanish language
so her purpose is . . . .?
-
to focus on the present and what to avoid spending your time on. Collins says, “When your time is done, you will not be remembered for what clothes you wore or what kind of car you drove. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote a letter to his daughter as she was beginning college. The letter is full of fatherly advice about such things as the importance of studying and the dangers of boys. Finally, at the end of the letter, he adds ““Don’t spend a lot of time on your hair.”””
you seem to be losing focus and talking about message, no?
-
Collins is trying to inspire.

-
King writes to a specific Reverend, “I commend you, Reverend Stallings, for your Christian stand this past Sunday in welcoming Negroes to your Baptist Church worship service on a nonsegregated basis

-
Monastery officials

-
Collins knowing that, lets the audience in on how long he will be speaking, ““…when it is over, so you can look forward to experiencing that pleasure 13 minutes from now. All the pre-law students just looked at their watches.” (Collins) Being aware of the audience’s expectations and flipping them around gives the audience a refreshing feeling instead of dread that comes with a commencement address.

Collins says, “…when it is over, so you can look forward to experiencing that pleasure 13 minutes from now. All the pre-law students just looked at their watches.” (Collins) The humor and the interaction he has with the audience is meant to be experienced live.

believe that it integral to any research of the Globe Theatre to include the socioeconomic diversity of the attendees so that we can gain a better understanding of exactly was going on in Elizabethan England. In addition it is rather telling the way the actors were viewed or portrayed as living a vagrant lifestyle as stated above. It is also important to remember that everyone from rich, poor, educated, uneducated, and royalty found the plays entertaining. Often times we have grandiose self perceptions of what the theatre and everything involved were like. Unfortunately the more we delve into the history, the more we discover that it was more of an all inclusive event or spectacle that anyone that could afford to buy admission would attend. Not what most high-schoolers “forced” to read Shakespeare in their English classes would imagine. I find extremely important that the perception of the actors as vagrant in the eyes of the law enforcement of the time is worth pointing out considering many of the plays were performed for Queen Elizabeth and James I. As a matter of fact the “Lord Chamberlains Men” (Shakespeare’s acting company) was renamed the “Kings Men” by James I. A rather interesting twist of fate for people of a “vagrant lifestyle” to be elevated from pretty much the doldrums of society to royal performers. https://www.brighthubeducation.com/high-school-lessons-the-arts/94715-the-globe-theater-history

Shakespeare’s Globe by Amy Allison Posted on October 23, 2019 by dotratview
Is this part of an annotated bibliography? Not sure I understand why it is placed here, alone
-
The theatre was equally visited by people of all social statuses–poor people, rich people, those who were educated and others. During Shakespeare’s era, acting was a treacherous way of life; many stage players were the subject of possible arrest, due to their vagrant lifestyle. The records show that there were 26 actors considered among the Shakespeare’s company “Principal Actors.” One of the actors was Richard Burbage, a brother of Cuthbert Burbage. Richard Burbage was also an owner of Blackfriars Theatre, another venue but smaller than the Globe Theater. Further, he was the main initiator of performances of Hamlet, Othello and many other famous Shakespearean characters.”

CNN made a short video about Donal Trump opinion about global warming. https://www.cnn.com/2017/08/08/politics/trump-global-warming/index.html. In 0:19 Donal Trump says “I’m not a believer in global warming Im not a believer in manmade global warming. What Trump is saying is that scientific and manmade is not real and is a hoax. “ We may have a global warming problem but it would be of the nuclear variety”. Donal Trump refers to the “nuclear variety” to be North Korea, and how they are infesting into nuclear warfare and how this should be our problem to focus on. Donal Trump also stops funding to U.N global programs like The United Nation Environment Programme and the Paris Agreement. Many Americans believe this because their tax dollars have been going into helping prevent global warming but, Trump states that “billions” of tax dollars is being wasted to prevent global warming and there are other problems that are higher priority to worry about.
I'm confused: most of this paragraph has to do with Trump and climate denial: is that your topic in this paragraph? Try to focus your paragraph with a pointed and accurate topic sentence, okay?
