The statement is a metaphor because MLK is comparing stinging darts to the struggles felt from segregation.

Answer:

Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is a literary figurative device/ language used by writers in making comparisons between two things, which may not be literally applicable for the issue addressed. But this comparison makes it more understandable or easier to comprehend.

In his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" of 1963, Martin Luther King used this metaphorical speech to address the issue of racial discrimination that his people are facing. He states that it will be "easy" for anyone who has never experienced the prejudice his people suffered, to say that the issue of racial "<em>segregation</em>" can be let alone and more important matters to be worked on. He compares this racial discrimination with that of a "<em>stinging dart</em>" which hits hard and stings everything it hits.

Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achebe.
Anna [14]

Answer:

A feminist analysis would focus on how the men discuss Mrs. Ochuba. A historical analysis would focus on whether using a native doctor was considered superstitious at the time and place the story depicts.

Explanation:

In order to answer this we need to define the terms "feminist analysis" and "historical analysis". While both of them are types of analysis of literary work, they differ in goals.

Feminist analysis focuses on analyzing in what manner women are presented in literature and also the role of gender in the character's actions and development.

On the other hand, historical analysis is the method used to help us understand the past. It focuses on examining a literature work and by doing so, learning about everyday life, tradition, customs and connecting it to a certain place and period in time.

Which best explains how the conclusion of the Declaration of Independence supports Jeffersons purpose?
Paul [167]

The correct answer is B. The conclusion of the Declaration of Independence states:

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor".

The signatories indicate that there are conditions under which people must change their government, that the British have produced such conditions and, of necessity, the colonies must get rid of political ties with the British Crown and become independent states. Essentially, the conclusion contains Lee's resolution that had been approved on July 2.

In summary, it asserts that the signers will uphold the duties of the U.S. government.
