Infinitive phrase.

Explanation:

In English grammar, an infinitive phrase is a verbal construction made up of the particle to and the base form of a verb, with or without modifiers, complements, and objects. Also called an infinitival phrase and a to-infinitive phrase.

Kruka [31]

It's certainly sensory. And it's figurative too. I think I'd pick figurative because the central piece of language is a simile. That's pretty good use of language when you compare the bobbing heads of flowers to helmeted soldiers.

Explain the strategies Martin Luther King Jr. uses to develop his ideas in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. Describe how

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. was presented the Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership in the Civil Rights Movement. His acceptance speech was very influential and inspiring, as it included many strategies which helped build his main argument. These include repetition and his use of the rhetoric device pathos.

In the beginning of his speech, Martin Luther King Jr. states, “I accept this award on behalf of a civil rights movement which is moving with determination and a majestic scorn for risk and danger to establish a reign of freedom and a rule of justice. I am mindful that only yesterday in Birmingham, Alabama, our children, crying out for brotherhood, were answered with fire hoses, snarling dogs and even death. I am mindful that only yesterday in Philadelphia, Mississippi, young people seeking to secure the right to vote were brutalized and murdered. And only yesterday more than 40 houses of worship in the State of Mississippi alone were bombed or burned because they offered a sanctuary to those who would not accept segregation.” This is an example of pathos, as it gives examples of events happening in real life that are extremely sad. I think that this would have helped the audience to realize that they needed to change their ways and that this indifference needed to end.

Later on in his speech, Martin Luther King Jr. begins to speak about things that he refuses to accept. He does this by repeating the phrase “I refuse” multiple times to add emphasis on his argument. He states, “I accept this award today with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind. I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the "isness" of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal "oughtness" that forever confronts him. I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of thermonuclear destruction.” This portion of his speech shows how strong Martin Luther King was and how badly he fought for equality, which supported his argument throughout the course of his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.

how do Kate Chopin and Anna Julia Cooper explore the topic of race and gender in “Désirée’s Baby” and “The Higher Education of W

Mashcka [7]

Exploration of topic on race and gender by Kate Chopin and Anna Julia in "Desire Baby" and "The Higher Education of Women":

Kate Choplin’s ‘Desiree’s baby’ revolves around a young woman Desiree who marries a young man after he offers a great deal of wealth. He considers her as his possession and also doubts her for his cursed fate of having a brown child.

However, the twisted end reveals that his mother was from the ‘brown’ lineage, yet his father loved them both no matter what unlike him. He discriminated his wife and child as he thought their ‘brown’ lineage would bring him shame and rejection.

‘The Higher Education of Women’ is an essay written by Anna Julia Cooper, which idealizes the concept of women education to improve the contributions to the society.

She puts forth the idea of providing educational rights to every woman, especially black woman, to increase the contribution to her race and the whole of humanity.
