Paragraph four of Anna Quindlen "Quilt of a country" is mainly constructed with questions, and repeats the words "What is the point" at the beginning of each question.
She is trying to prove her point, that despite all of the cultures and ethnicities and different backgrounds that constitute the American people, it is not enough to disintegrate the nation, while other countries were torn apart by these differences.
Answer:
Martin Luther King Jr. is an inspiration to me. He was born Jaunary 13, 1929, and attended Morehouse College at the age of 15. Martin was inspired by Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, and many influental leaders of the past. He led the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955, and was arrested for peacefully protesting in 1960. Based on MLK’s work, the Interstate Commerce Commission banned segregation in interstate travel. On June 23, he led a group of 125,000 people in a Freedom Walk in Detroit, and on August 28, he joins more than 250,000 people in the March on Washington and delivers the famous “I Have a Dream” speech. He was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, and unfortunately was assinated in 1968, at the age of only 39.
Despite all the hatred and discrimination he endured, he kept a peaceful outlook. Non-violent protesting was his method against racism. Looking at his life, we can learn that hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.
Hope this helps!
Well,
Not sure about Frakenstein much, but Prometheus was warned by Zeus, he gave the "gift" of fire, got punished via daily being devoured by a vulture, and I forget if a teacher told him to do it or not, I don't think so though.
