read the excerpts from dr. king's "letter from birmingham jail" and answer the question.

[7] i had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice, and that when they fail to do this they become dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress … we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. we merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. we bring it out in the open where it can be seen and dealt with. like a boil that can never be cured as long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its pus-flowing ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must likewise be exposed, with all of the tension its exposing creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

[8] we must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right. now is the time to make real the promise of democracy, and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.

in 3–5 complete sentences, thoroughly explain how dr. king develops the claim that racial injustices must be uncovered to be healed. which sentences support the claim? provide at least two specific examples from the text to show how the claim is developed and supported.

Something that is being covered up can not be healed refers to how if some issues, for example, racism, are pushed down and ignored, the issue its self will never be seen as one and therefore will never be fixed. But, if something like this is pushed down, eventually, the problem will be so bad that the problem will come right back up to bite you. If you have a leaky pipe you can duck tape it until it no longer leaks, but eventually, the duck tape will rot away and the problem comes back, worse than ever. Like Mr. King says, "Like a boil that can never be cured as long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its pus-flowing ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light", you can't cover up the problem and pray that it won't flare up worse than ever in the future. You have to fix the problem unless you are willing to face the consequences of the future, "We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right."

Also, sorry about the guy before, I reported him and got his "Answer" removed.

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?  

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…

i believe they had died over the love they had for each other, strong enough that their lives could end so suddenly if something horrible had come between them, and that was exactly how it happened. this tragedy occurred within five days of the two meeting, they experienced love at first sight, got married and quickly were dead. free will became a part of this when juliet decided to take friar laurence’s advise in inhaling a potion that will make people assume she is died but will awake in 42 hours prier to when she took it. when romeo had heard the news that juliet was dead, he assumed it was true, and responded with the line; “well juliet, i will lay with thee tonight”. to me this line indicated how he feels for juliet by dying in her will. the fact that free will didn’t take control of the story; it left fate to be the murder of the lovers. fate first kicked in when their eyes met at the capulet party. when romeo and juliet spoke, their words had powerful contentment; they had such a strong feeling for one another that they could lay in each other’s arms forever. their happiness didn’t last long; there were many reasons for this, for example; the marriage lord capulet arranged between paris and juliet. i believe that the plot of the play thus far leads the audience to believe that the deaths were a result of fate. the last act will determine once and for all if it is fate or free will. romeo again challenges fate.
