Writing an essay on the topic of Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches can be both challenging and
rewarding. On one hand, King's speeches are iconic, rich in content, and have had a profound impact
on history, making them fascinating subjects for analysis. On the other hand, crafting an essay that
does justice to the depth and significance of King's words requires thorough research, critical
thinking, and a nuanced understanding of the historical context, rhetorical devices, and underlying
themes.
Delving into King's speeches means navigating through layers of complexity: understanding the civil
rights movement, the societal challenges of his time, and the enduring relevance of his messages
today. It involves dissecting his eloquent use of language, his mastery of rhetoric, and his ability to
inspire change through words.
Moreover, writing about Martin Luther King Jr. demands a level of sensitivity and respect for his
legacy. His speeches are not just academic subjects but reflections of a struggle for justice, equality,
and human dignity. Therefore, any analysis must be approached with care, empathy, and a
commitment to understanding the lived experiences that shaped his activism.
Crafting an essay on Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches requires more than just summarizing his
words; it necessitates engaging deeply with his ideas, values, and vision for a better world. It
involves grappling with the complexities of race, power, and social justice, and confronting
uncomfortable truths about the past and present.
In conclusion, writing an essay on this topic demands intellectual rigor, empathy, and a profound
appreciation for the enduring legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. His words continue to inspire,
challenge, and provoke thought, making the task of analyzing them both daunting and enriching.
Above is our teaching philosophy statement and we have highlighted key ideas we

involves the individual child as well as with their peers and teachers. We strongly believe
in child initiated learning experiences based on children s interests. This can lead to a
much richer learning experience for children when it is based on what they are intrigued

The meaning of play can be very hard to define in an early childhood context. What is

Jean Rhys s Wide Sargasso Sea
Jean Rhys s Wide Sargasso Sea attempts to prove just how closely intertwined dreams
and reality are. Rhys meticulously weaves dreams into real life, ultimately creating a
novel that conjures a very ethereal truth. Trying to draw the line between what is real
and what is fake is nearly impossible and, by the end of the novel, the reader is left in a
state of lucid uncertainty. Rhys s clever use of slumber in Wide Sargasso Seareveals an
enhanced sense of character progression, the inevitability of fate and deeply rooted self
reflexivity, all of which create a novel predicated on doubleness and variability. Antoinette
s narrative throughout the novel can best be charted with a close attention to her
reoccurring sequence of dreams. Just as Antionette is locked up in the physical realm she
too is entrapped in her own mind by the dreams that envelop her. Antionette s first
encounter with this recurring dreamoccurs when she is very young. Antionette describes
the dream by saying, I dreamed that I was walking in the forest. Not alone. Someone
who hated me was with me, out of sight. I could hear heavy footsteps coming closer and
though I struggled and screamed, I could not move. I woke crying (15). Rhys s
deliberateness of placing this dream in the past tense greatly distances Antoinette from
the dream itself it occurred well into the past and Antoinette s world is much different
now. Distance is also created through Antionette s naiveté to the implications of the
dream.
U.s. History During The Colonial Period
One of the most significant events in U.S. history during the late colonial period was
the Boston Tea Party. After the Boston Massacre in spring of 1770, all of the
Townshend acts had been repealed except the tea tax, and tensions went down, for the
most part, between the colonists and the British. Two years later, however, the Gaspee
incident and consequent formation of the Committee of Correspondence brought the
tension back, to an alarming degree. Then in 1773, when Lord North tried to help the
British East India Company by allowing them to export tea to America without paying
taxes, many colonists were furious. The price reduction in the tea was rightly seen as
both a sneaky business tactic, and an attempt to pacify the colonies so Britain could
continue taxing them unfairly. By December 16th of that year, a group of Patriots in
Boston made a decision that turned out to have monumental consequences: Dressed as
Mohawks, the rebels destroyed an entire shipment of British tea, throwing over 300
chests of it overboard as other colonists cheered. Lord North and King George were
furious and determined that the colonists must either submit or triumph (Tindall and Shi
128). This so called Tea Party led to the creation of the Coercive Acts. Enacted by
Parliament in 1774, they were designed to punish the rebels by setting harsh restrictions
and rules. The Boston Port Act, for example, mandated that no one could use the Boston
port until the East India Company was reimbursed
The Footbridge Dilemma
1. Like others, I would pull the switch to divert the trolley to save five people. Not that
the one man deserves to die to save the other five, but rather because with the situation at
hand saving five is reasonable than saving one. That being said, I think it is morally
permissible to divert the trolley to lose one life and gain five lives. The Footbridge
Dilemma seems to be complicated than the Switch Dilemma in that you have to
consciously killone person who was not in the picture, to save the six people on the
track. Saving six lives sounds great. The problem here is the manner in which they were
saved. What if I was that fat man, would I want to be thrown down onto the tracks? The
