Explanation:
In this excerpt, King repeats the phrase "I refuse to accept" at the beginning of each new sentence. This phrase is used to indicate that what he will mention afterwards is a claim that he does not believe in, and that he intends to fight against. By repeating the same words over and over again, King is able to give more weight to his words and to encourage people to question the same things he questions. More importantly, the phrase allows King to emphasize the overall point of the paragraph.
Because here it say's And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.”

be sold to speculators. Problem is that it would be sold at a lower value.
