“Through nonviolent protest, the civil right movement of the 1950’s and 60’s broke the pattern public facilities’ being segregated by “race” in the south and achieved the most important breakthrough in equal-right legislation for African Americans since the reconstruction period.” African Americans were ones who got discriminated against for a long, long time. They earned they’re right and still to this day people care about race. Bloody Monday was a very violent event and something that should not happen again today. Martin Luther king jr. really believe in nonviolence and inspired people to do the same. They have their rights and the right to use them.
This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:
Question: In the above excerpt, which words best establish immediacy?
A) "White men have been known to encourage slaves to escape."
B) "… that I should be free."
C) "I pretended not to be interested in what they said."
D) There is no immediacy.
Answer:
The words that best establish immediacy are:
B) "… that I should be free."
Explanation:
<u>By definition, immediacy is the quality of creating excitement and a sense of urgency by involving someone instantly. Now, imagine being a slave and wishing nothing more than freedom. If someone told you to run away "...that [you] should be free," can you imagine how you would feel? The excitement this would bring? The urgency to escape and finally get rid of the cruelties done to you? For that reason, letter B is the best option. "...that I should be free" are the words that create a sense of immediacy.</u>
