Summary of Martin Luther King message from jail

History
1 answer:
postnew [5]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Dr. Martin Luther King junior wrote the Letter from the Birmingham Jail in 1963, in response to white clergymen who had criticized his views and his activism as extremist.

Explanation:

MLK wrote an impassioned response to the clergy who were criticizing his activism at the time. The white clergy felt it was better for black Americans to just accept the status quo and to stop pressing for change. The clergy called MLK's actions "unwise and untimely." He first tries to counter the notion that his position is extreme in the letter by describing black nationalism and some of the extreme propositions of that movement and he also contrasts his perspective from being passive and accepting of the status quo. He has dedicated himself to trying to advance constructive change using non-violence. But as he develops his letter he starts to embrace the notion of being called an extremist because it may be necessary to take an extreme position in order to advance real change.  Since MLK was a church leader and he is addressing the critique of fellow clergymen, there are a lot of religious examples used in the letter.

Goeth is the Nazi commandant at Plaszów concentration camp. Goeth is notorious for his cruelty, shooting Jewish prisoner at random in the parade grounds every morning. The first time Yanek goes to roll call, Goeth sics his dogs on the man standing beside Yanek, illustrating how random misfortune can take the life of any prisoner at any time. Goeth is responsible for the death of so many Jews that prisoners “keep score” to track how many he kills each day. Goeth is also responsible for the death of Yanek’s uncle Moshe.

Thomas Paine<em> (1737-1809)</em> <u>is one of the founding figures of the United States</u> due to his pamphlet<em> Common Sense</em>, and it's influence during the time of the American Revolution.

Answer 1.

  • <em>Thomas Paine</em> stated that England protected the 13 colonies for the sake of trade and dominion, he also points out that England would have protected any country for those same reasons because their only motive <em>was interest and not attachment </em>to the 13 colonies.

Answer 2.

  • Paine wrote on his pamphlet "Common Sense" that even if the colonies were related only through the Parent Country (England), <em>the true Parent or Mother Country of America was Europe</em>, because the New World was the asylum of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe.  

Answer 3.

  • He wrote on his pamphlet Common Sense that <em>England brought prejudices to America</em>, an Englishman was superior simply by the fact that they were born in England even though the majority of the population on the colonies were born in America. He also wrote that the government used<em> tyrannical practices against the colonies. </em>

Answer 4.

  • Thomas Paine thought it was a proper time <em>to stop waiting four to five months for a petition to be reviewed</em> and that it made no sense to travel three or four thousand miles with a petition. He thought Britain had no rightful power in America's justice.

Answer 5.

  • He thought that the 13 colonies would make more progress and would be wealthier if they were independent from England, because the enemies the colonies were facing and stopped them from trading were enemies of England and not theirs. <em>If the colonies were independent they would be able to trade with countries like Spain and France.</em>

Answer 6.

  • Thomas Paine told the American people in Common Sense<u> that independence from Britain was possible.</u> He said that <em>if there had to be a king it would have to be the rule of law and not of a single man.</em> He proposed a free republic where any payment would go to the law because "the law is king".
