c shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. Why does Dr. King's allude to the Emancipation Proclamation in his speech?
The allusion reminds the audience that 100 years have passed since the Emancipation Proclamation, yet inequality still exists.

Pani-rosa [81]
c. metaphor

In the above passage, the figurative language that exists is in the form of the following words:  “starless midnight of racism and war.”  We know the figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present.  We know the figurative language is not personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human things, and this is not occurring here.  We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an exaggeration here.  Thus, we can conclude that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons that are not literally applicable.  That said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war, it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.

How does it help the reader know the thought feeling and action of all the character in this story
mezya [45]

Answer:

The reader needs to connect with the character. When a reader emotionally connects with the character, he gets engaged and interested in the story.

Explanation:

If the reader knows the action of the story he will get more involved in resolving the end, by guessing or assuming.

If there isn’t an action that is noticed in the story, or that is unfamiliar to the reader, the reader can get bored and lose interest in the story.
