Changing the register.

Formal register:
'But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.'



Informal register:
'But there is something that I should say to people, who stand on the warm entrance that takes us into Justice's palace: On our way to gaining our rightful place, we mustn't be guilty of bad things. Let's not look to please our thirst for freedom by drinking from a cup of anger and hate. We must always carry out our struggle on the high plane of dignity and control. We mustn't let our creative outcry to turn into hitting others. Again and again, we have to stand up to the grand heights of meeting strong force with soul force.'
