Answer:

The rhetoric technique that Martin Luther King uses repeatedly in the above text is the use of similes and the use of figurative language.

Explanation:

Similes are speech techniques that use the comparison of two variables interestingly.

Figurative language is the use of a word to mean differently to its custom meaning.

<em>Martin Luther King uses Socrates and Jesus figuratively to explain his ideas, since, they are not part of his topic, but have similar traits as the situation he is trying to explain, this is an example of figurative language in the above excerpt.</em>

Martin Luther in this excerpt uses similes multiple times to bring out his points.

Some of the instances where he uses similes are;

  1. Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical  inquiries
  2. Isn't this  like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God's will  precipitated the evil act of crucifixion?

This questions help him explain his point, it also makes the people understand his point out of the comparison of what they know to what they do not know.

Why would the Iroquois not care about getting a college education from the Europeans?
dybincka [34]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The Iroquois did not care about getting a college education from the Europeans because they did not want to change their rich culture, history, beliefs, and traditions, which were so rooted in the teachings of their ancestors and the love for mother nature.

When white European colonists arrived in the Americas in early 1607, the King of England .for instance- ordered to instruct the Native American Indians into the Cristian religious teachings. What was known as evangelization.  Europeans saw the Native Indians as "savages," ignorant people that needed to be instructed.

That is why some colonists founded Harvard college in 1650 in Massachusetts. Missionary man John Eliot had n¿been the supporter behind this idea that never really wrorked.

Answer:

1, The Pike Expedition (July 15, 1806 – July 1, 1807) was a military party sent out by President Thomas Jefferson and authorized by the United States government to explore the south and west of the recent Louisiana Purchase.[1] Roughly contemporaneous with the Lewis and Clark Expedition, it was led by United States Army Lieutenant Zebulon Pike, Jr. who was promoted to captain during the trip. It was the first official American effort to explore the western Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains in present-day Colorado. Pike contacted several Native American tribes during his travels and informed them that the US now claimed their territory. The expedition documented the United States' discovery of Tava which was later renamed Pikes Peak in honor of Pike. After splitting up his men, Pike led the larger contingent to find the headwaters of the Red River. A smaller group returned safely to the US Army fort in St. Louis, Missouri before winter set in.

Pike's company made several errors and ended up in Spanish territory in present-day Southern Colorado, where the Americans built a fort to survive the winter. Captured by the Spanish and taken into Mexico in February, their travels through present-day New Mexico, Mexico, and Texas provided Pike with important data about Spanish military strength and civilian populations. Although he and most of his men were released because the nations were not at war, some of his soldiers were held in Mexican prisons for years, despite US objections. In 1810, Pike published an account of his expeditions, which was so popular that it was translated into French, German, and Dutch for publication in Europe.

2, Pike and his escort entered New Mexico a few miles west of the Rio Grande and on February 28th arrived at Ojo Caliente, a small village on the frontier, on March 1, 1807.

3, On February 26, in the night Pike and his remaining men were captured at their fort by Spanish soldiers from nearby Santa Fe. Arresting the party as spies, the Spanish collected the rest of his men who had been scattered in the mountains, and marched them all south.
