When I was about fifteen years old we had
retired to our house near Belrive, when we
witnessed a most violent and terrible
thunderstorm. It advanced from behind the
mountains of Jura, and the thunder burst at once
with frightful loudness from various quarters of
the heavens. I remained, while the storm lasted,
watching its progress with curiosity and delight.
As I stood at the door, I suddenly beheld a
stream of fire issuing from an old and beautiful
oak which stood about twenty yards from our
house; and as soon as the dazzling light
vanished, the oak had disappeared, and nothing
remained but a blasted stump. When we visited
it the next morning, we found the tree shattered
in a singular manner - not splintered by the
shock, but entirely reduced to thin ribbons of
wood. I never beheld anything so utterly
destroyed.
Before this I was not unacquainted with the
more obvious laws of electricity. On this
occasion a man of great research in natural
philosophy was with us, and excited by this
catastrophe, he entered on the explanation of a
theory that he had formed on the subject of
electricity and galvanism, which was at once
new and astonishing to me. All that he said
threw greatly into the shade the lords of my
former study; but by some fatality the overthrow
of these men disinclined me to pursue my
accustomed studies. It seemed to me as if
nothing would or could ever be known. All that
had so long engaged my attention suddenly
grew hateful. By one of those sudden impulses
of the mind which we are most subject to in early
youth, I at once gave up my former studies. I set
down natural history and its related studies. I
entertained the greatest disdain for a would-be
science that could never even step within the
threshold of real knowledge. In this mood I
betook myself to mathematics and the branches
of study pertaining to that science as being built
upon secure foundations, and so worthy of my
consideration.
Adapted from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, 1818.

Compare and Contrast, "I Have a Dream" and the "Letter from Birmingham Jail", by Martin Luther King, according to their usage of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos.

Twenty-five year old Anna Burwell and her husband, Reverend Robert Burwell, moved to Hillsborough, North Carolina in 1835. Anna and her husband had two small children, and Reverend Burwell's salary was small. Anna decided to use her lifelong love of education to help her family and other young women. As a supplement to her husband's income, Anna began teaching the daughter of James Webb, the owner of the town's general store. Two years later, Anna opened one of the first all-female academies in North Carolina, the Burwell Female School.
In addition to being the founder of the Burwell Female School, Anna was also the full-time administrator. She created the curriculum for the school's classes, which included Latin, botany, astronomy, and physical education. Many students traveled from out of state to attend the school, and these students shared the Burwell home with Anna, her husband, and their growing family (which eventually included twelve children). Over the course of twelve years, two hundred students were educated at the Burwell's school. Anna shared her love for education with her students. In fact, many of Anna's students went on to create schools of their own.
What does the author's emphasis on education convey to the reader?

By emphasizing education, the author conveys Anna’s difficulty in creating the curriculum.
