SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is D. In writing the Letter from Birmingham Jail, King sought to respond to the criticism he received from people that he considered be colleagues by methodically addressing each of their claims for Americans

Explanation:

The Letter from Birmingham Jail was an open letter written on April 16, 1963 by Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. King wrote the letter from the prison in the city of Birmingham, Alabama, where he was being held after a non-violent protest against racial segregation. The letter was a response to a statement issued by eight white clergy members of Alabama on April 12, 1963 entitled "A Call to Unity." In it, they declared the existence of social injustices but expressed the belief that the battle against racial segregation should be carried out only in the courts and not carried to the streets. King responded that without strong direct action, true civil rights could never be achieved. He stated not only that civil disobedience was justified in the face of unjust laws, but that "one has the moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."

Can someone help me with these two questions about the crucible and the author Arthur miller .
Harman [31]

1. Arthur Miller used the inspiration he got from reading the <em>"Devil in Massachusetts" by Marion L. Starke</em>, which gave a modern perspective to the Salem Witchcraft Trials, to write his book <em>"The Crucible." </em>

<em>"The Crucible"</em> likened the HUAC (The House Un-American Activities Committee) trials of those suspected of belonging to Communist or Socialist groups to the Salem affairs.

In colonial Massachusetts, many innocent people got branded as witches and wizards without substantiation. Some people lost their lives by hanging, while many were imprisoned and suffered humiliation between 1692 and 1693.

2. The essence of Miller's message in <em>"The Crucible" </em>about those who stood fast against HUAC is that <em>good people have the responsibility to question </em><em>corrupt authority</em>, no matter where it occurs. Miller concluded that despite threats to lives and reputations,<em> "good people should always stand against injustice."</em>

Thus, Arthur Miller carefully wrote <em>"The Crucible" </em>to resuscitate the Salem Witchcraft Trials, showing that injustice and corruption could wear the <em>garbs of authority</em>. He also challenged McCarthyism, which was at the root of HUAC.

How could Beethoven compose music despite his loss<br>of hearing?​
Bad White [126]

Answer:

He could still “hear” in his head. All he had to do was transcribe what he “heard” and knew onto staff paper. Composers do not need to physically hear the music they are writing—they know how it will sound. Basically he already knew the basics of music, and so used his head in place of his ears.
