The correct answer is: The image shows the impressive potential of a just society.

Indeed, the lines come from his 1963 I have a dream speech: “But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”

The imagery lies on very Western, Judeo-Christian imagery: royalty, nobility, monarchy. Dr. King was a very educated man. The metaphor of a threshold is related to the notion of the heavenly Jerusalem. However this Jerusalem is not only religious but political, it is the America that is yet to be. This Jerusalem is imperfect because it keeps a part of its own people outside of it, in the cold. This is also a very gospel theme, as African-Americans saw themselves as the new Jews who were looking to go back to their Holy Land.

Also, the palace image helps to convey the idea that African Americans had been oppressed by a monarchic regime, which had the power of life and death over them. Masterfully, King draws a parallel between racial and class injustice; and the notion is also historical: America became a free country after breaking with a tyrannical monarch. In this manner King reminds Americans that slavery was a betrayal of the principles of the American Revolution.

From Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart"

grin007 [14]

Answer:

This is what I wrote (and it is not plagerized you can even check)

Explanation:

The sound that the narrator thinks he's heard at the end of the story is the old man's heartbeat but what he actually hears is his guilty conscious, because that is what is making him think that he can still hear the old man's heartbeat is that since he feels guilty about what he did his conscious is making it seem like the heart is still beating. In the text, it says that " I admit the deed-tear up the planks!-here, here! it is the beating of his hideous heart!" that shows how the narrator got tired of "hearing the heartbeat" so what he did was confess to what he did. The effect that the narration has on the story is that the suspense because in paragraph 17 we the audience are getting anxious because when the police arrive at the house were wondering at what time he will get caught.

The answer is (D)
