Martin Luther King Jr. was influenced by Thoreau’s "Civil Disobedience" because it explained methods for nonviolent protest. Option C is correct.

Thoreau’s "Civil Disobedience" was a blueprint for methods of nonviolent protest.

Thoreau wrote Civil Disobedience in 1849, amidst slavery issues and the Mexican-American war. He wrote it right after being imprisoned in Concord, Massachusetts charged with refusing to pay his taxes.

Thoreau claimed in the "Civil Disobedience" that the government was not fair, and democracy only favored and protected the majority.

He was reluctantto pay his taxes as part of the Civil Disobedience, since the Mexican American war would give way to an expansion of slavery he desagreed with.

Thus, Thoreau  was regarded to as the pioneer of nonviolent methods to protest against the government and that inspired Martin Luther King Jr.

How do the image and the reporter’s statement conflict?
Aliun [14]
<span>D. The picture shows a happy dog, and the quote states that the dog is “ferocious,” or mean, and attacked a mail carrier.

The dog in the photo looks kind and happy. We would imagine a ferocious dog to be growling or snarling in a photo.

Romeo and juliet question!! please help ^^
erik [133]

Answer:

The lines that foreshadow Romeo's tragic end are found in option 4:

O God, I have an ill-diving soul!

Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,

As one dead in the bottom of a tom

Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale!

Explanation:

"Romeo and Juliet" is a famous tragic play by William Shakespeare in which two young lovers die due to the rivalry between their families. At several points in the play, Shakespeare uses foreshadowing to reveal the tragic ends that await the characters. Foreshadowing is a technique in which a piece of information is given to the audience that will later unfold into something important, however trivial it looked at the beginning. The lines above are said by Juliet, and she seems to be aware of her own ability to predict. She looks at Romeo and sees a dead body, which foreshadows his end.
