Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
two or three days and nights went by; i reckon i might say they swum by, they slid along so quiet and
smooth and lovely. here is the way we put in the time. it was a monstrous big river down there--sometimes a
mile and a half wide; we run nights, and laid up and hid daytimes; soon as night was most gone we stopped
navigating and tied up--nearly always in the dead water under a towhead; and then cut young cottonwoods
and willows, and hid the raft with them. then we set out the lines. next we slid into the river and had a swim,
so as to freshen up and cool off; then we set down on the sandy bottom where the water was about knee
deep, and watched the daylight come. not a sound anywheres--perfectly still --just like the whole world was
asleep, only sometimes the bullfrogs a-cluttering, maybe. (p. 114)

Read the excerpt from martin luther king jr.’s "i have a dream” speech. and so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of new hampshire. let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of new york. let freedom ring from the heightening alleghenies of pennsylvania. let freedom ring from the snow-capped rockies of colorado. let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of california. but not only that: let freedom ring from stone mountain of georgia. let freedom ring from lookout mountain of tennessee. let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of mississippi. from every mountainside, let freedom ring. the most likely reason king uses allusions in this part of his speech is to share his knowledge of american geography. compare northern and southern destinations. remind listeners about small-town accountability. encourage listeners to envision freedom everywhere.
