14.) Excerpt from I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King, Jr.: (6) It would be
fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering
summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an
invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an
end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off
steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation
returns to s as usual. There will be neither rest nor
tranquility in
America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of
revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the
day of justice emerges. (7) But there is something that I must say to my
people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of
justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of
wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by
drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. *Question: In paragraphs 6
and 7. King uses figurative language that compares justice to
O water and a cup
O summer and autumn
O a whirlwind and a revolt.
O a bright day and a palace.
