Read the excerpt from "Federigo’s Falcon" by Giovanni Boccaccio. Which phrase shows that Federigo squandered his wealth?
There was once in Florence a young man named Federigo, the son of Messer Filippo Alberighi, renowned above all other men in Tuscany for his prowess in arms and for his courtliness. As often happens to most gentlemen, he fell in love with a lady named Monna Giovanna, in her day considered to be one of the most beautiful and one of the most charming women that ever there was in Florence; and in order to win her love, he participated in jousts and tournaments, organized and gave feasts, and spent his money without restraint; but she, no less virtuous than beautiful, cared little for these things done on her behalf, nor did she care for him who did them. Now, as Federigo was spending far beyond his means and was taking nothing in, as easily happens he lost his wealth and became poor, with nothing but his little farm to his name (from whose revenues he lived very meagerly) and one falcon which was among the best in the world.

In his letter from Birmingham jail, Martin Luther King tried to persuade the audience that his non violence belief is a good move to act against racism and oppression.
1. King directly addresses the audience which shows the clarity in his views and actions. He out across his points making several relative points and people understood them clearly and his letter got a lot of attention.
2. King used many allusions to prove his point. An allusion is used by an author referring something in his work to some historic or literary, or cultural details from outside the work. He took instances from Bible, stating what Jesus had preached. He also referred to Mahatma Gandhi who also believed in non violence and India got Independence. All these allusions are very effective as they convince the audience in proving his point as right.
3. King used his words to inspire people the most. It inspired the African-Americans to fight against the whites for their freedom. He said "We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom". He also gives them hope that things are on their side and they will achieve their goals.
