Read the excerpt from a letter Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote while imprisoned in Birmingham Jail in 1963. One who breaks an unju

st law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. Based on his behavior in "Civil Disobedience," how would Thoreau most likely feel about King’s statement? He would believe that his reasons and King’s reasons for protest were completely unrelated. He would disagree with King’s belief that one must accept the penalty for political protest. He would believe that King did not understand the nature of political protest. He would agree with King that one should engage in political protest peacefully.
THE CORRECT ANSWER IS D: He would agree with King that one should engage in political protest peacefully.

I think edginuity changed the letters from before because previous answers show this as letter B

  Martin Luther King's efforts were inspired by Thoreau's definition of Civil Obedience being his words an extension of Thoreau's in his text. Both of them went to jail under a law that they resisted to, which is a form of peaceful political protest.  In the Thoreau's "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" we get the same message that we get from King's letter:

   "<em>Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison</em>."

<em>    (...) It is there that the fugitive slave, and the Mexican prisoner on parole, and the Indian come to plead the wrongs of his race, should find them; on that separate, but more free and honorable ground, where the State places those who are not with her but against her,—the only house in a slave-state in which a free man can abide with honor.</em> <em>If any think that their influence would be lost there, and their voices no longer afflict the ear of the State, that they would not be as an enemy within its walls, they do not know by how much truth is stronger than error, nor how much more eloquently and effectively he can combat injustice who has experienced a little in his own person."</em>

<em>  </em>    The excerpt above it's similar to Luther King's because it shows that even from jail, the one who find a law to be unjust and suffers it's penalty, is able to show society how unjust this law is, this attitude may change the law quicker , as many just men suffers from it.

Act 1 scene 2 of the tragedy of Julius Caesar<br> What moral dilemma does this excerpt express?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: Brutus has to decide between loyalty to Caesar and his own honor.

Explanation:

This excerpt expresses the main dilemma of the whole play - that is, the conflict between being a loyal friend and one's own honor.

In Shakespeare's <em>Julius Caesar</em>, a group of conspirators decides to murder the roman general, Caesar, because he has assumed too much power. They do not want him to become a king. In <em>Act I, Scene II</em>, Brutus, a friend of Caesar's, confesses his true feelings. As he hears that people want Caesar to assume this position, he makes a confession to Cassius, one of the conspirators, that he would not like this to happen. As he puts it, he does love Caesar, but loves his honor more. He is not even afraid of death, if that is the price he has to pay.

Personal narrative writing about a sad experience you had (trouble) and how did you feel about it.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

It amazes me how we may take others for granted. We didn't consider it. What would life be without them? We merely planned for tomorrow. Don't second guess how quickly such plans might vanish. No way! I considered it.

I awoke early one morning for school. I was ecstatic because my first pep rally was in middle school. We had to wear red and white to school. School spirit. I had ironed my clothing the night before. I've never done it. But on this particular school day, I wanted everything to be flawless. perfect. I was ready for school by 7 a.m., and school started two hours later.

I waited anxiously for my mother to call, and she eventually did. I believed she was taking me to school. As we went along, I realized my mother wasn't taking me to school as usual. I eventually saw we were near my godmother's. "I mistook you for a school bus," I remarked, seeing it was 7:45 a.m. My mother was silent. She just stopped the car and walked inside. I trailed behind. My family was gathering at my living room window for my grandmother's lounge. I sensed something was wrong right away. Only when you can plan a funeral for my complete family.

"Why don't you go sit with your cousins?" Mom said. I sat there. His pain-filled gaze scanned the room. I sat back, feeling the My throat was getting lumpy, and my tears were starting to burn my eyelids. No one needed to speak up! Everyone's wounded looks told me all I needed to know. I felt sad. If I was paralyzed, my throat would have closed. I couldn't see that. The person I most adored, apart from my mother, would be gone.

The funeral was a week later. My life's longest day. I feared it. I watched the casket descend. I heard family and friends murmur. "It'll be OK in time." I thought, "Why can't things be okay? She never is. I'm back! No! " The next few months were busy. My family suffered greatly. My godmother died. Sure, our family has lost numerous members. But no. One who was very close to us. Sure, many members of our family have died, but their fatalities were fewer.

My godmother shaped my life. I know if she saw me, she'd be proud today. I pause and think if she was proud? Will she agree? "I do my best to be close to my family. because you never know when someone's last day will be.
