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.

I don’t know if you find this helpful.

There is roughly 6500 languages that are spoken in the world. Each language has its own uniqueness and represents culture and livelihood. It is important we learn a foreign language so that we can communicate with others.

If you are travelling to a foreign country, it is important you learn the language so you can communicate with others and interact with them. Learning a foreign language allows you to learn new things about a culture, the history and origin of the language and how it brings people together. Learning language allows you to either accommodate those who are not fluent in your native language or allows other to accommodate you as an individual. Language holds significance and others might find it respectful and honourable that you have chosen to explore their language.

As difficult as it may be learning a foreign language, it is really beneficial and learning worthy to be fluent in different languages and expanding your vocabulary. You’ll realise how helpful this could be in the future.
