Answer:

An extended metaphor with which Dr King compares the failure of the government to cater for her black African-American citizens to a bounced or failed check.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech used to describe a object or scenario by comparing it with another object or thing. (for example 'light of hope to millions of Negro slaves'  as used in line 2 of the Speech)

In lines 17-31 of the 'I Have A Dream Speech' by Dr Martin Luther King, Dr. King uses an extended metaphor to describe the failure of the US Government to cater for the rights of its African-American citizens by comparing the Government's action to a bounced check  which is symbolic of a failed promise or promises.

The promise to all Americans regardless of race or color as enshrined in the American constitution was a guaranteed access to civil rights and liberties.

That promise was however not granted to the African-American  community during Dr King's lifetime prior to making the famous speech

1. What are two characteristics of Modernism?
kaheart [24]

1. The <u>two characteristics</u> of Modernism are <em>Individualism and Experimentation.</em>

  • Modernism jettisoned the group or social interests. It replaced the society emphasis with individualism.
  • Modernism encouraged experimentation instead of sticking to traditional forms of literary and artistic conceptions.

2. The more likely setting for a Modernist story is a <u>factory</u> rather than a dark cave where dragons live.

  • In the <u>factory</u>, experimentation carried out in the laboratory translates into mass production of products. A <u>factory</u> depicts vividly the life of modern men, who mostly spend their time and living in factories, unlike the traditional society, where farms dominated human living.

  • Modernism embraces the use of science, technology, and knowledge to make progress in life.

3. The approach that a Modernist author would adopt to relate a story about library books with personal events is <u>not to use clear-cut traditional storytelling and formulaic verses</u>.

  • Instead, a stint of individualism and experimentation would be utilized to show that humans can continue to make progress if they think outside the box.

Thus, Modernism broke away from tradition and former techniques by greatly emphasizing the individual attempts to make a better living.
