What metaphor does king use to close the letter and why is it appropriate?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Effectus [21]3 years ago
3 0

The metaphor that King gives in this example is that of "horse and buggy pace," which refers to transportation before automobiles. The metaphor serves two purposes. First, it emphasizes how slow the advancement of civil rights has been for African Americans by presenting an image that any modern reader would associate with a slow pace.

Secondly, the metaphor also provides an image of the past. This is to highlight how civil rights advancement is being conducted in a way that does not resemble the modern era, but that is instead reminiscent of a time with less social progress.

Ugo [173]

There are some 4,300 religions of the world. This is according to Adherents, an independent, non-religiously affiliated organisation that monitors the number and size of the world's religions.


Side-stepping the issue of what constitutes a religion, Adherents divides religions into churches, denominations, congregations, religious bodies, faith groups, tribes, cultures, and movements. All are of varying size and influence.


Nearly 75 per cent of the world's population practices one of the five most influential religions of the world: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism.


Christianity and Islam are the two religions most widely spread across the world. These two religions together cover the religious affiliation of more than half of the world's population. If all non-religious people formed a single religion, it would be the world's third largest.


One of the most widely-held myths among those in English-speaking countries is that Islamic believers are Arabs. In fact, most Islamic people do not live in the Arabic nations of the Middle East.

Which statement best describes Mikhail Gorbachev as a leader of the Soviet Union?
DedPeter [7]

Answer: C. His openness to a new political system in Russia led, in part, to the breakdown of the Soviet Union.

Explanation:

Mikhail Gorbachev believed that the only way to save Communism in the Soviet Union was to enact a series of reforms that would give Communism a friendlier face.

He allowed for decentralization of some industries and allowed elections that increased local government control. He even allowed the Soviet citizens to openly criticize their government. All of this led to the Communist party losing support and eventually led to the breakdown of the Soviet Union.
