Martin Luther King's main strategy in his speech was to persuade readers by stimulating sentiment and emotions regarding the struggle for civil rights.
This strategy is known as Pathos and is a rhetorical device heavily used in speeches, which portrays an emotionally impacting theme.
Although King also presented logical and ethical strategies in his speech, pathos was the main method of appeal he developed.
Through pathos, King showed that:
The situation of blacks was something difficult and needed to be changed quickly.
The fight for civil rights was being ignored by the rulers and this harmed a great part of the citizens.
Racism is something negative where everyone is affected.
The suffering of a people cannot be ignored.
King also uses pathos to show how sad it is that he is rewarded for something that has not been achieved and which is very disadvantageous to black people.
I don’t understand what the question is. Please be more specific.

Answer: D</h2>
Explanations:
A. Is angry that the coffee is too weak. I don't believe this is the answer, because, "blinked red eyes at the weak brew of coffee" Isn't the main idea or key detail, and isn't important at all.
B. Doesn't appreciate the effort of the narrator to make breakfast. Not really the answer, because if the mom didn't really appreciate the breakfast, it would've shown more evidence for that. Besides, some people wake up cranky ;w;
C. Is frustrated that she had been woken up by the narrator. No. Nowhere in the second paragraph it says that the mom was woken up by the narrator.
D. Feels very tired even after a good night's sleep. Yes. I believe this is the answer because in paragraph 1, the narrator made sure the TV was low so the mom could sleep. In paragraph 2, It's obvious that the mom feels very tired because of these clues: Yawned a hat-sized yawn, and blinked red eyes.

Answer:
The answer is C. Settlers were hopeful but had many fears.
Explanation:
The line <u>"But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the 'fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors,'"</u> shows they were hopefull and content during the voyage. However, The line <u>"But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them."</u> and <u>"They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?
"</u> shows that they were scared.
Hope this helps :)
