Read the excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symboli

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 demonstrates Dr. King's belief that equality was achieved with the Emancipation Proclamation. The allusion reflects Dr. King's importance since it refers to another important figure in American history: President Lincoln. The allusion indicates to the audience that slavery was always illegal in the United States. The allusion reminds the audience that 100 years have passed since the Emancipation Proclamation, yet inequality still exists.

Answer: The allusion reminds the audience that 100 years have passed since the Emancipation Proclamation, yet inequality still exists.

Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln was an Executive Order made in 1863 freeing all slaves in the Confederacy which should have had the effect of giving them equality in society.

Dr. King is decrying the fact that a hundred years after that Proclamation was made, the people who it was supposed to free were still being viewed through the eyes of racial inferiority and were therefore considered unequal in society.

Answer:

he story of “How the Whale got his tiny Throat” by Rudyard Kipling was first published in St Nicholas Magazine, in December 1897. It was collected in Just So Stories, 1902, illustrated by the author and followed by the poem “When the cabin port-holes are dark and green.”

The story tells that once upon a time the Whale ate fishes of all types and sizes. At last there was only one left in the sea, a small astute fish that hid behind the whale’s ear and advised him to eat a shipwrecked mariner. The Whale swallowed the mariner and the raft he was sitting on.

But then the mariner was inside, he started to jumped around so much that the Whale got hiccups and asked him to come out. The mariner answered that he would not, unless he was taken to the shore of his British home, and hopped harder than ever. So the Whale took him to the beach and the mariner came out. But in the meantime the clever mariner had made his raft into a grating which he secured in the Whale’s throat with his suspenders. Forever after, the Whale could only eat the smallest of fishes.

the central idea of the passage is that:

Because of one man’s actions, whales never eat human beings.
