Answer: Metaphor .

Explanation:

This is a line from Martin Luther King Jr.'s open letter, known as <em>The Letter from Birmingham Jail</em>, in which he supports nonviolent resistance to racial discrimination.

King describes all the hardships that people face, and explains that for people who have never experienced them, it is easy to say that those who did need to wait patiently for their rights. One of these hardships is segregation, and King uses a metaphor in this line to emphasize it.

<em>A metaphor</em> is a figure of speech in which two objects/concepts that do not have much in common are compared, in order to explain an idea. There is no such thing as <em>"stinging darts of segregation"</em>, but King uses sharp darts to demonstrate the effect that racial discrimination has on people who experience it.

What type of listening skills can help you understand and retain information?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Active listening.

Active listening is the ability to focus completely on a speaker, understand their message, comprehend the information and respond thoughtfully. Unlike passive listening, which is the act of hearing a speaker without retaining their message, this highly valued interpersonal communication skill ensures you’re able to engage and later recall specific details without needing information repeated.

I'm just curious!

Answer:

My judo instructor is awesome at teaching us how to grapple, but she's also very supportive in other areas of our lives. She's understanding and can almost always magically sense when something is wrong or bothering one of us. Whenever she senses that one of us is having an issue in another part of our life, she lets us take longer breaks and offers to talk if we need someone to listen. Once when I was going through a rough time, she encouraged me to just hang in there and survive, and I'm so thankful for that because the support I got from others at the time was one of the only reasons I could look forward to the next day.  She motivates us to do our best not just in judo, but outside of martial arts as well, and she encourages many of us to go out there, branch out, and explore what we want to do in life. I know many others in my judo class who decided to enter a film competition or try a new painting style or even travel to a place they've never been before because of her encouraging words. So yea, that's her, helping us with judo and life in general.
