What is Robert F Kennedy's main purpose in his speech about Martin Luther King's assassination?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I have bad news for you, for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world, and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and killed tonight.

Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice for his fellow human beings, and he died because of that effort.

In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black--considering the evidence there evidently is that there were white people who were responsible--you can be filled with bitterness, with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization--black people amongst black, white people amongst white, filled with hatred toward one another.

Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love.

For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I can only say that I feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond these rather difficult times.

My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote: "In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."

What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black.

So I shall ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King, that's true, but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love--a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.

We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times; we've had difficult times in the past; we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; it is not the end of disorder.

But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings who abide in our land.

Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.

Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.

Why do you think the judge‘s line of questioning is so easy on Ponyboy? Why is he acquitted?(The outsiders chapter 12)

Answers

Answer:

The judge was easy on Ponyboy because he had lengthy conversation with his doctor before the hearing. The doctor told him his whole situation and how hard his life was. How he lost his both parents in a car accident and how the deaths of Bob, Johnny and Dally which made his life even tougher. The doctor also told him that Ponyboy was quite ill. He told all these things to the judge so that the hearing doesn't make the situation even worse for him, and the judge understood.

He was acquitted because he was not under suspicion. All the evidence pointed to others and Ponyboy was found NOT GUILTY. The judge didn't want to make the situation worse for him and he just let him go.

Write rough draft informative essay on a Greek mythical character. Your essay will use research to summarize the plot of the myth and explain the mythical character’s cultural significance.

Answers

Answer:

The chosen character was Theseus.

Explanation:

Greek myths were very important for Greek society, as they explained life, nature, religion and the essence of man. Many of these myths brought characters that had a strong meaning for the society of that time. Among these characters we can mention Theseus.

The myth of Theseus begins with a narrative that presents that Athens was in debt with king of Crete, that was called Minus. To pay this debt, the Athenians had to send the most beautiful girls and the strongest boys to Athens, so that they could be sacrificed and given as food to the minotaur. Faced with this situation, the king of Athens sent his son, Theseus (who had a supernatural strength, as well as being brave, loyal and kind), among the young people who would be sacrificed so that he could kill the minotaur and free the Athenians from this situation. terrible. This is exactly what Theseus does, when he returns home victorious, he becomes king.

Theseus had a strong cultural significance for Greek society, because it represented a national hero who had the characteristics that the Greeks encouraged and believed they had, that is, for the Greeks, Theseus was the image of the population. That's because he was beautiful, strong, loyal, courageous, charitable and unbeatable.

Why do you suppose Soda and Darry didn't get much sleep?

As the three brothers wait at the hospital to find out about their friends' conditions, reporters bombard them with questions. Finally, Darry convinces the reporters to leave, but the nurses still will not give Pony, Soda, and Darry any information about the conditions of Dally and Johnny (medical information is privileged and is only given to family members). Darry manages to convince the doctor that they, the three Curtis brothers, are the only real family that these two boys have, so the doctor gives them the bad news. Dally's one arm is severely burned, but he will eventually regain full use of it. Johnny is in critical condition; his back is broken and he is suffering with third-degree burns. If he lives, he will not be able to walk for the rest of his life. The realization that if he lives, he would have to stay in his parents' house, a place he hates, for the rest of his life is too much for the brothers. They decide to go home for the night.

I would allude to Elizabeth Bennet's "Pride and Prejudice".

Explanation:

The word "allude" means to make a brief reference to something or someone. In that case I imagine that I would like to write a text where I have alluded to Elizabeth Bennet of "Pride and Prejudice". That's because she represents a strong female character with her own ideas and strong reasoning at a time when women were discouraged from thinking by themselves and exposing their ideas.

This character would fit very well as a reference in a text on the right and respect for women.
