Was waving

You can say it like:
"Every man was waving a flag"
"Every woman was waving a flag"
"Every child was waving a flag"

It also makes sense to say it in present tense
"Every man is waving a flag"
"Every woman is waving a flag"

It wouldn't make sense to say:
"Every man are waving a flag"
"Every man be waving a flag"

Answer:

Explanation:

The most likely explanation of what happened in the scene before is that the boy's mother was killed by the husband and in a fight to stay alive she put up a fight. This fight created the loud crashes, but sadly she lost the fight as well as her life. We can infer this because Mrs. Owens says when her figure appears in the graveyard "..Freshly dead by the look of her."

Man Jack is most likely the man that killed the mother of the boy. He is looking for the boy so that he can "eliminate" him and hide the evidence and then leave town, also leaving no evidence of a crime, doing this so he get quickly leave town, not get caught, and if he does get found out he will be far away from the crime scene and inevitably become untraceable

I hope this helps you.

Question: How does Dr.King show awareness of and respect for his intended audience of clergymen?

Rama09 [41]

1. Answer:

Dr. King shows respect and optimistic approach towards the Church. He does not resolve to arguments limiting his moral virtues. He tires to explain his narrative to different religious organizations by reminding them of their responsibility. He specially talks about Christian Church.

He also rebukes over the behavior of clergy men and reminds them how they are compromising their Christian mission. He makes several arguments by explaining to them how early Christians risked their lives and made the world a better place to live in.

He also warns the Church that one day they will be held accountable for not taking any actions against such brutality.

2. Answer:

Martin Luther King is Dr King in Birmingham Jail. He was in Birmingham to protest against the cruel practices and behaviors adopted towards the black people.

The court of that time had asked Martin Luther King along with other people not to protest.

Birmingham was a tough place for black people to live in hence they protested against it and were sent to jail for not obeying the orders of the court.

3. Answer:

This revolutionary letter was written by Martin Luther King. He wrote this letter to generate awareness about the crimes committed by white people in regards to the black people of the society.

He wanted to show support to non-violent resistance exhibited by his fellow black men.

He wanted to consolidate with them and remind others of the repercussion of such injustices.

He also explained how at times it is necessary to break unjust laws for the betterment of society.

4. Answer:

He used emancipation and proclamation in his letter. Due to Martin Luther King's efforts, he was highly appreciated by the audience hence this gave him a slight edge to convey his message, without any hindrance to the general public.

He defines justice and morality in his letter. He also mentions how strong black people are and with or without the help of white people they can succeed. He clarifies that black people are working in the light of ideals set by the secular state of America and Divine power.
