On September 2, 1957, Governor Faubus announced that he would call in the Arkansas
National Guard to prevent the African-American students' entry to Central Hisch, claiming
this action was for the students' own protection. In a televised address, Faubus said that
violence and bloodshed might break out if black students were allowed in. Federal judge
Richard Davies issued a ruling that desegregation would continue as planned
The Little Rock Nine arrived for the first day of school on September 4. Eight arrived together,
driven by Bates. Eckford's family, however, did not have a telephone, and Bates could not
reach her to let her know of the carpool plans, so Eckford arrived alone. One of the most
enduring images from the day is a photograph of Eckford, notebook in hand, approaching the
school as a crowd of hostile and screaming white students and adults surrounds her.
Eckford later recalled that one of the women spat on her. The photo of Eckford was printed
and broadcast widely, gaining national and international attention.

Can someone me asap read these paragraphs from the excerpt. every great play teaches many lessons and touches nearly all social problems. but the great play does this by indirection. every beautiful thought is a teacher; every noble line speaks to the brain and heart. beauty, proportion, melody suggest moral beauty, proportion in conduct and melody in life. in a great play the relations of the various characters, their objects, the means adopted for their accomplishment, must suggest, and in a certain sense solve or throw light on many social problems, so that the drama teaches lessons, discusses social problems and gives intellectual pleasure. the stage should not be dogmatic; neither should its object be directly to enforce a moral. the great thing for the drama to do, and the great thing it has done, and is doing, is to cultivate the imagination. this is of the utmost importance. the civilization of man depends upon the development, not only of the intellect, but of the imagination. most crimes of violence are committed by people who are destitute of imagination. people without imagination make most of the cruel and infamous creeds. they were the persecutors and destroyers of their fellow-men. by cultivating the imagination, the stage becomes one of the greatest teachers. it produces the climate in which the better feelings grow; it is the home of the ideal. all beautiful things tend to the civilization of man. the great statues plead for proportion in life, the great symphonies suggest the melody of conduct, and the great plays cultivate the heart and brain. which statement describes how ingersoll uses a literary technique in his response? a- by using symbols, ingersoll explains the role of artistic expression, which engages readers. b- by using a metaphor, ingersoll explains how artistic thoughts address social issues, which clarifies his idea. c- by using allusion, ingersoll emphasizes the continued growth of artistic expression, which is relatable to readers. d- by using alliteration, ingersoll emphasizes the role drama plays in society, which evokes strong emotion.
