The word "muscle" helps readers connect with an image of Bull Connor as a bully who pushes others around. The author could have used a word like "power," but that would not connect with the reader in the same way. "Muscle" helps readers imagine him using his power to hurt others, which creates a negative tone.

The word "muscle" in the text implies that Bull Connor, after paying special attention to the Segregation Ordinances, had the legal power, authority, or strength to act as he wished. The word <em>muscle </em>is used as a metaphor, since it means another thing, and gives the reader the image of a bully.

Ad libitum [116K]

Early philosophers contemplates in the field of religion and theology. Also it is times of rediscovery of ancient philosophies that was once lost after the fall of the western roman empire which chaos and destruction ravage due to barbarian invasions. Early church leaders affect the philosophical ideas of this age due to the fact that in this age most educated are from the church. They depose and excommunicate philosophers who opposed their views and philosophy of the world. Also most philosophy of this age is religious oriented and people seek refuge in God for hope and salvation in chaotic times. Early philosophers tend to be more God-oriented and mystical rather than to be logic and rational in thinking.  Also in this age everything are explained through religion and the church doctrine rather than math and science which in the future will play a vital role of Renaissance.
