<span>Debacle is a sudden and violent collapse. The "debacle in Russia" refers to the Russian Revolution of 1917. Thus the time period of the story is the five or six years between 1917 or 1918 and 1923, a time at which Russian Communism reduced the privileged life of the noble to a level at or near the life of the Russian proletariat.</span>
Hey there!
Martin Luther King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech is full of allusions.Let's look at a few:
1.) "Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation"
Dr. King's speech (1963) was made 100 years after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation (1863) that freed all slaves in rebel territories. King salutes Lincoln's contribution to the fight against discrimination. He literally and figuratively stands in Lincoln's "shadow," as he is giving the speech in front of the Lincoln monument and he is continuing the fight that Lincoln played such a large role in
2.) "When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall, heir.... Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check"
King references the document which proclaims that "All men are created equal... with certain unalienable rights." He then proceeds to decry the denial of these rights and this equality by the segregation and racism that the African-American community has faced since the founding of the nation (and still faces today)
I hope this helps!
Answer:
Ring's reasoning comes from racist situations in which he was previously a victim.
Explanation:
This question is about "Fallen angels" written by Walter Dean Myers. The book portrays the Vietnam War and the difficulties faced by people as a result of the war and prejudices that operated in society.
When Ring says that "whitey" cannot be trusted he is stating that white people will not help any black person when necessary, on the contrary. This reasoning is the result of cases of racism that Ring was a victim of, which makes him sure that white people are not to be trusted.
