    Cesar Chavez, in his article, argues that nonviolent resistance is more powerful and
    effective than violent resistance. Chavez supports his argument by comparing the effects
    nonviolent and violent resistance by using historical examples, and hypothetical situations. His
    purpose is to make his readers aware of the consequences of violent resistance in order to help
    his readers obtain a better understanding of how nonviolent resistance can be the biggest weapon
    in a persons arsenal. He establishes a determined and analytical tone that turns into a moralistic
    lesson for his mainly religious audience.
    Chavez begins his article by alluding to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his teachings. He
    emphasizes on the nonviolent resistance Dr. King and his followers have practiced, and related it
    to the farm workers movement. He appeals to the mainly religious audience that nonviolence is
    the only answer by focusing on the aspect that human life is a very special possession that is
    given by God to man. Chavez obviously being religious argues that no man has the right, for
    any reason, to take another mans life, and conveys his argument by alluding to the teachings of
    Dr. King and the word of God.
    Chavez proceeds to preach his nonviolent argument, utilizing repetition in order to make
    his readers feel unified and relate to their enemies not just as humans, but as a life that God
    created. He continuously repeats the word we when preaching nonviolence. He does this to
    make his readers aware of the fact that we are all living and that nothing is more important than

    one human life. Chavez does an exceptional job when connecting to his audience. He knows
    that nonviolent resistance is hard when feelings of frustration, impatience and anger are inside
    every farm worker. But again, he continues to address his audience as we to assert a sense of
    unity, and to persuade the farm workers that peaceful protest is the most effective kind of protest.
    The key piece to Chavezs argument is when he alludes to Mahatma Gandhis teachings.
    He preaches the same message of peace by emphasizing the power marches, strikes, and
    boycotts can have against others. He says its not only a weapon against the growers but its
    also a way to avoid senseless violence. As Gandhi as taught us the boycott is the perfect
    instrument of nonviolent change. Chavezs allusion helps his argument by proving to the reader
    that peaceful resistance has worker in the past, and that it can be a moral and nonviolent
    resolution.
    To further support his argument, Chavez an analytical syllogism when discussing the
    consequences violent resistance has. Although victory can come through violence, its a victory
    with strings attached. What he is basically saying is that if we beat the growers at the expense
    of violence, people will die. If people die we would lose regard for human beings. So if
    people were to violently resist, the temporary success will only lead to another violent power,
    creating a population that is desensitized of violence, killing, and suffering. Chavezs
    hypothetical situation captured his audience, showing them first-hand what violent resistance can
    do people, supporting his argument against violence.
