passage: when the general, nursing his bruised shoulder, had gone, rainsford took up his flight again. it was flight now, a desperate, hopeless flight, that carried him on for some hours. dusk came, then darkness, and still he pressed on. the ground grew softer under his moccasins; the vegetation grew ranker, denser; insects bit him savagely. then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank into the ooze. he tried to wrench it back, but the muck sucked viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech. with a violent effort, he tore his foot loose. he knew where he was now. death swamp and its quicksand.

Read the excerpt below from "letter from birmingham jail" and then answer the question below: "my citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. but i must confess that i am not afraid of the word "tension." i have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." how does king's repetition of the term "tension" impact the meaning of the text? dr. king says that he is afraid of the word tension and he doesn't think it is necessary. dr. king repeats the word tension to explain how he sees the word as a negative force that discourages change. dr. king repeats the word tension unintentionally, and it doesn't impact the meaning of the text. dr. king repeats the word tension to support how he views the word tension as positive and growth-producing.
