King states that America has defaulted in the promise that it made to African Americans. He tells us that African Americans were promised that they were going to receive the same rights and privileges that other groups enjoyed. However, he argues that this is not the case, as African Americans have suffered much more discrimination and hardship than other groups.

The language that King employs is particularly effective as it presents this promise in financial terms. He compares them to a cheque that has not worked. This language not only clarifies his meaning, but it also helps the reader better understand the feelings of the African American population.

"<em>It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.</em>" describes how America has "failed to pay up".

Please help me analyze this passage:(( I’ll mark you as the brainliest
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

This passage has a heavy usage of imagery. Imagery is used to appeal to each of the readers senses by using colorful words and figurative language. This passage talks of wandering in a sort of drowsy state through a dreamlike swamp or marsh, in which old memories come back to the character through stimulus in the surroundings. The memories, however, come through not in the same peaceful, still way that the rest of the setting is, but instead harsh, noisy as if trying to attract the character's attention and stir up the emotions attached.

Read the sentence.
AveGali [126]

One way to vary the syntax of the text is to combine sentences since, in this way, your structures will be longer and more complex to follow. This could be done by means of links such as: however, in addition, therefore, etc. When using these words, you create semantic relations between the syntactic structures and make the reading process more difficult because, as I've I said, sentences become longer and therefore the reader has to keep more information in mind to follow the train of thought.

You could also vary the syntax by adding phrases or clauses. This option is similar to the previous one since it also refers to the complexity of the syntactic structures of the text.

what is a strong memory you have from when you first went to school ? why do you think this memory stays with you?
Sonja [21]
This should be about you. You should write about a memory you had when you first started school and how it stayed with you through all of the grades. It shouldn't be done by other students. :)
