If this is the excerpt:
My dear Mr. President:
I was sitting in the audience at the Summit Meeting of Negro Leaders yesterday when you said we must have patience. On hearing you say this, I felt like standing up and saying, "Oh no! Not again."
I respectfully remind you sir, that we have been the most patient of all people. When you said we must have self-respect, I wondered how we could have self-respect and remain patient considering the treatment accorded us through the years.
17 million Negroes cannot do as you suggest and wait for the hearts of men to change. We want to enjoy now the rights that we feel we are entitled to as Americans. This we cannot do unless we pursue aggressively goals which all other Americans achieved over 150 years ago.

The literary techniques I recognize are the following:
1) amplification - adding more words to a simple sentence to make it more valuable and understandable.
2) hyperbole - exaggeration
3) dramatic visualization
4) Imagery
5) Pathos - use for emotional appeal.</span>

4. Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa.
5. He was aided by Hermes and Athena, Perseus pressed the Graiae, sisters of the Gorgons, into helping him by seizing the one eye and one tooth that the sisters shared and not returning them until they provided him with winged sandals (which enabled him to fly), the cap of Hades (which conferred invisibility), a curved sword, or sickle, to decapitate Medusa, and a bag in which to conceal the head.
6. Medusa saw her reflection first causing her powers to backfire on her instead of on Perseus.

Gillian Laub’s photo essay, “A Prom Divided,” to be published in The New York Times Magazine on Sunday, captures the 54 members of Montgomery County High School’s class of 2009. Although the school in south-central Georgia was integrated in 1971, by longstanding tradition, the prom remains segregated.
“It’s so easy to see it as just black and white,” said Ms. Laub, “but it’s not, there are so many complicated ensnarements that play into the entire story.” Her images record a town not of overt racial tension and Jim Crow, but a community where everyone knows each other and life moves together — except for this one dance.
Ms. Laub is known for her documentation of the violent conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. Her book — “Testimony” — uses portraits to explore the toll on both sides, their perspectives and tenacity. Her photographs seek to untangle traditions and challenge established impressions. “I feel the camera is a way to help me understand things that I want to know,” she said.
In 2002, Ms. Laub was told of a white teenage girl’s letter to an editor at Spin, where she was freelancing. The girl said she couldn’t attend her school’s homecoming dance with her boyfriend because he was black. Ms. Laub traveled to Montgomery County, a tight-knit community about three hours outside of Atlanta, known for farming Vidalia onions. There, she witnessed students voting by ballot in class elections for a white king and queen and their black counterparts.
“What was blatantly racist seemed so normal, so matter of fact,” Ms. Laub said. The published piece caused a stir and homecoming was later integrated.
Last year, Ms. Laub contacted Montgomery County High School to inquire about the date of the prom and was asked, which one?
She returned to photograph them both. While it wasn’t hard to appeal to the vanity of cliques of girls applying makeup and grinning for group pictures, she found families guarded about race. The issue was hard to broach.
There wasn’t really a warm welcome,” Ms. Laub said. In fact, she was not allowed to attend the white prom, though she did photograph the black prom. “I really wanted to understand this â€tradition’ that everyone was referring to,” she said.
Recently, she made her way back to Montgomery County, still rooted in its traditions. She was again unable to attend the white prom. One of her photographs from the black prom captures a girl sitting between dances staring longingly at the lens, over her pink gown, a black sash with “Prom Queen” written in glitter. Many of her images express this feeling of emptiness.
“This generation of kids are all friends, but then there are just these residual effects from what happened with their parents and grandparents,” Ms. Laub said. “It’s just something in their history and it’s really hard to move forward.”
This week, Ms. Laub returned to photograph the graduation and the inclusive parties where friendships cross racial lines. “A lot of them say we would like to have prom together and it’s such a small class that it would be such a bigger party and so much more full of life, in the mere fact of numbers.” She also was told that next year will be a single prom. “I’m really just curious how it plays out.”</span>
