Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. When William Lee reached Goll's drugstore, he was gasping for air and frantic. In a breat

hless voice, Lee demanded the key to the alarm box that was mounted on the outside of the store. Bruno Goll refused to hand it over, insisting that a fire truck had already passed. Lee had no time to argue with Goll. He was too concerned about the safety of his family, so he hurried back to them almost immediately. He got there just in time to see the fire taking hold of his neighbor's shed and fence, while the breeze blew a rain fire on his property. Two things were very clear to Lee: first, despite what Goll had said, no fire engines had arrived, and, second, his house was about to catch fire. Why was William Lee frantic and breathless when he first arrived at Goll’s drugstore?
A. He was angry at the owner for refusing to sound the alarm and for lying about the fire engines.
B. He was confused about who had informed the firefighters of the fire and why there were trucks driving by.
C. He knew there was a fire burning near his home, and he wanted to sound the alarm as quickly as possible.
D. He knew that the fire would be massive and firefighters would not be able to control the flames.

1. Explain the strategies Martin Luther King Jr, uses to develop his ideas in his Nobel Peace Prize
Pachacha [2.7K]

Martin Luther King's main strategy in his speech was to persuade readers by stimulating sentiment and emotions regarding the struggle for civil rights.

This strategy is known as Pathos and is a rhetorical device heavily used in speeches, which portrays an emotionally impacting theme.

Although King also presented logical and ethical strategies in his speech, pathos was the main method of appeal he developed.

Through pathos, King showed that:

The situation of blacks was something difficult and needed to be changed quickly.

The fight for civil rights was being ignored by the rulers and this harmed a great part of the citizens.

Racism is something negative where everyone is affected.

The suffering of a people cannot be ignored.

King also uses pathos to show how sad it is that he is rewarded for something that has not been achieved and which is very disadvantageous to black people.
