"The man who was almost a man" speaks of Dave, who had conflicts with gaining recognition and respect, because he was young. He wanted to grow up and become a man. For this he bought a weapon, thinking that it would make him grow as a man. Seeking power, he buys this weapon, to feel powerful, unstoppable. All these conflicts of the dave age led him to make some bad decisions. The story well specifies this when he accidentally shoots a mule, and he cannot sustain the excuse he made up for it, and when he decides to take a train and go to a city where he would be able to man up.
Swift uses irony when he says the person with whom he discussed his plan is very worthy and a true lover of this country
Creates a conflict for the main character
When King said "physical strength with soul strength" he meant people not to use physical strength to achieve their goals, but to use soul strength to stay motivated.
This is connected with the idea that "undeserved suffering is redeeming", as it shows that with the strength of the soul, people can withstand the injustices that they alleviate until they manage to resolve them.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- King was an activist and the greatest leader in the struggle for civil rights.
- He encouraged a black offer to fight for their rights and not conform to the injustices they suffer.
- He believed that these injustices would pay off in the future, but it would be necessary for people to fight for them to cease to exist.
However, he stated that this fight should be done with the strength of the soul, that is, with the strength of will and resilience, but that physical strength and violence should not be used.
