Quote: “This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares the justifiable anger of African-Americans to the scorching summer heat and equality and freedom to revitalising autumn.

Quote: “I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares oppression and injustice to the scorching heat and justice and freedom to an oasis.

Quote : “The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares what the Civil Rights movt. will yield if their (Afro-American) demands are not met to that of a swiftly revolving, damaging vertical column of air. He then compares the day when these rights (freedom) are acquired to a “bright day of justice”.

Quote: “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares freedom to a thirst satiating drought and hatred to a cup of resentment.

Quote: “We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares facing the equality struggle with discipline and dignity to ingraining oneself on the “high plain” and the meeting of  “soul force” and "physical force"  to ascending  “majestic heights.

Quote: “With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares racial inequity to the “jangling discords of our nation” and the accomplishment of equity as a “beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The first thing I do everyday is drink a cup of coffee, then I can begin the day with an alert mind. After I finish my coffee, I like to take a long walk to help my body stretch into the day and my mind relax. Once I get back from my morning walks, I usually take a shower, and then sit down in a nice quiet place to do some writing or painting (whichever I feel in the mood to do), but when I don't feel like doing anything creative, I'll just unwind by listening to music, and doing vocal exercises until everyone else wakes up. After that, I usually spend the day with my sister, driving around, and helping her with her daily tasks. My day slows down dramatically around five in the evening, that when I normally sit down with a cup of tea and watch television for a few hours. After that, I make dinner for everyone, and wait for them to go to bed. Once everyone is in bed, I like to proof read the more recent stories I've written for a couple hours until around ten post morning, then I go to bed.
