Hey there!
Martin Luther King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech is full of allusions.Let's look at a few:
1.) "Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation"
Dr. King's speech (1963) was made 100 years after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation (1863) that freed all slaves in rebel territories. King salutes Lincoln's contribution to the fight against discrimination. He literally and figuratively stands in Lincoln's "shadow," as he is giving the speech in front of the Lincoln monument and he is continuing the fight that Lincoln played such a large role in
2.) "When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall, heir.... Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check"
King references the document which proclaims that "All men are created equal... with certain unalienable rights." He then proceeds to decry the denial of these rights and this equality by the segregation and racism that the African-American community has faced since the founding of the nation (and still faces today)
I hope this helps!
"Man" is an indirect object in the sentence. :)
Hope this helps..

Explanation:
I am writing to you about a conference that was last week. I have a lot of disclaimers so I decided to describe them in this letter.
First of all, I want to write something about my accommodation. When I decided to participate I was hoping that organizers will reserve hotel rooms in the building where there was a conference. Unfortunately, my room was booked at another hotel three blocks away. Moreover, I had no hot water all day and I had no TV so the standard was very poor.
The food was very expensive and is in small quantities. Happily, I got my own food. If you invite someone then you should provide free meals. Take this into consideration.
I want to express my strong dissatisfaction with the quality of the presentation. Lecturer for quickly switch between slides so it was hard to focus. The next time when he will be a lecturer he needs to ask whether can continue. The single-session took to long. I regret that was not short breaks in which people could relax and take fresh air.
All the rooms were too small so was very stuffy. Once I thought I would faint. I wanted to out of the conference as soon as possible. Organizers did not open the window.
I thought that after the theoretical part will be presented to us in the form of practice. That did not happen.
Yours faithfully,
- I had corrected the mistakes that were there in your letter. There were more than twenty mistakes. Style of your letter is good and the letter is understandable but I would recommend you to look up how and where you can write articles; indefinite: a,an and definite:the. Also, there were mistakes with punctation and usage of comma. Pronoun ''I'' must be written with the first big letter.
