Answer:

He develops this claim by stating that if citizens are required to obey just laws, they have the full right and responsibility to disobey unjust laws and not allow them to move forward.

Explanation:

King says that the responsibility between obeying and disobeying laws is the same for all citizens who are subjected to them. This is because he affirms that, if everyone is obeyed to obey just laws that promote good things, everyone has the moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws, since they promote evil to society. To reinforce this argument, he shows how Saint Augustine and São Tomás de Aquino prove this idea, besides defining what makes a law fair or unjust.

Look for an example of a simile or metaphor within chapters 7-9 of The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. Write the example in
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Look for an example of a simile or metaphor within chapters 7-9 of The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. Write the example in the space below, indicating the chapter it is from and what is being compared. What does this simile or metaphor do in the text? In other words, how does it help the reader?

A reader who has not been told that James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a novel can be forgiven for not knowing how to classify it. When it was first published, anonymously, in 1912, the book included a preface from the publisher, written almost exactly as Johnson proposed, that described it as a “new picture of conditions brought about by the race question in the United States” (p. xxxiii). The preface suggests that what follows is a sociological study. But in the novel’s first paragraph, the unnamed narrator tells us that he is “divulging the great secret” of his life, moved by “the same impulse which forces the un-found-out criminal to take somebody into his confidence” (p. 1). This beginning prepares us for a confessional narrative such as those by St. Augustine or Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Exemplifying the capacity of novels to absorb other genres, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a sociological study in terms of its analysis of the dynamics of race, class, and geography, and a confessional narrative, albeit a fictional one. But it is as a novel that Johnson’s book engages us most urgently, in that the story of its narrator’s life is ultimately a plea for the reader’s understanding.

Give an example of a morally significant act that you have done in the past which you consider exercise of freedom. Explain how,
vfiekz [6]

An example of a morally significant act that I have done in the past which I consider exercise of freedom was when I once helped return home a 90-year-old man who was lost in the city, which took me more than 3 hours and it made me miss my job that day.

In my exercise of this freedom, I also considered society's role in limiting my behavior since if I had not helped this person, I could have had legal consequences for failing to help her if something had happened just at the moment that I was passing by him, in addition of the feeling of moral duty that would have remained in me if I had not helped him.
