The tone of this is confidence that the person speaking can get others to agree to what he is saying.The main part of this passage is that the person speaking is trying to get everyone on his side that policies should be brought up instead of being sunknen into the things that are popping up from racial injustice. What King accomplishes is getting out what he wants to say and making a moving speech about how everyone is complaining about things that shouldn't be complained about and how they should think bigger of making something better instead of fussing about what they wish could be fixed, when it can if they just look at the bigger picture that CAN fix it. So basically King is trying to get everyone to think more of the national policy instead of a portion or it which is racial injustice.

The theme chosen for the rehearsal was: The importance of the wedding gift for Indian culture.
Explanation:
Wedding gifts are a very important point to highlight in the most different cultures in the world. In all regions, this type of gift is very welcome and while some countries, the gift does not have to be something thought out, elaborated (and sometimes not even given), in India it is taken very seriously.
For the Indians, the wedding gift means a lot to the bride and groom and always has to be given an object that is very useful and functional that helps in domestic life and brings beauty to the home.
Plates, cutlery, glasses, furniture are the most prominent wedding gifts in this culture. This says a lot about the affection and care that guests have with the bride and groom. This indicates that the guests want to help with domestic life.
This vision of the present is very beneficial because it avoids the economic expense and the purchase of expensive, garish things that are useless, besides occupying space and dust. In addition, gift-giving narrows the bonds between families and friends, which is one of the most important bonds we have.
