Read the excerpt below from MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech. In 1:3:1 paragraph format, respond to the following prompt. Has MLK’s

dream come true in present day America? Plan an outline for this paragraph. Cite at least one piece of textual evidence for support. Follow writing conventions regarding tone and grammar.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

I believe that MLK's dream has not completely come true in present day America. He states that "my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character". However, in recent news there was a rise of police brutality that is completely on the basis of discrimination. In order for his dream to come true, there should be no possibility of anyone, or his children, being treated differently due to skin color. I am not entirely sure if this discrimination applies to all social classes, but I know that we still have work to do in obtaining this dream.

Summery of the moral survival guilt
melamori03 [73]
It is a way soldiers impose moral order on the chaos and awful randomness of war's violence. It is a way they humanize war for themselves, for their buddies, and for civilians, too. Though Aristotle doesn't himself talk about guilt, it is the emotion that best expresses the conflict—the desire or obligation to help frustrated by the inability, through no fault of one's own, to do so. To not feel the guilt is to be numb to those pulls.

Read the passage from Animal Farm. Mr. Pilkington, of Foxwood, had stood up, his mug in his hand. In a moment, he said, he would
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and leaders of countries who overlooked Stalin's poor treatment of his people.

Explanation:

George Orwell's allegorical science-fictional novel "Animal Farm" revolves around the story of animals overtaking their human masters and having a government of their own. And in this story, the author also provides references or allusions to numerous historical figures in the depiction of the characters.

In the given passage from the novel, Orwell depicts Mr. Pilkington's character as a parallel to world leaders who overlooked Stalin's discriminating and poor treatment of his people. Just like the human farmers found the <em>"most up-to-date methods, . . . a discipline and an orderliness which should be an example to all farmers everywhere",</em> leaders of countries around the world 'accept' the treatment that Stalin 'gave' his people. And it was this characteristic that Orwell chooses to criticize through this scene, where the farmers decided to 'follow' Mr. Pilkington's method in bringing order to his farm. Orwell adds, <em>"Indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately." </em>

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/ last option.
