Answer:

<em>"Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed... it is very well known that they are every day dying... as fast as can be reasonably expected."</em>

Explanation:

The above-mentioned phrase is an example of hyperbole taken from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift.

A hyperbole is a rhetoric device used in the writing in an exaggerated manner to point out to something of importance.

In the above lines the Swift in his <em>proposal</em> is emphasizing the suffering of poor in an exaggerated manner. He is bringing the conditions of the poor to attention to his audience by using hyperbole in these lines.

When summarizing the middle of a plot, one should notice the key ideas about how the conflict builds because this is the most important part of the story since the entire plot depends in this part. Therefore, the answer is Middle.</span>

Excerpts from “I have a Dream” — Martin Luther King Jr.
iVinArrow [24]

I can’t answer the first to one because but it’s a collective change.

Mainly because it effects others not just for Martin. He wanted this to happen everywhere not just himself! He truly wanted to bring races together regardless if they’re race, color, gender, religion, and more! Mainly color/race.

If you want more help, don’t hesitate to ask me!
