Why does king say that america has defaulted and what makes this word choice especially effective?

King states that America has defaulted in the promise that it made to African Americans. He tells us that African Americans were promised that they were going to receive the same rights and privileges that other groups enjoyed. However, he argues that this is not the case, as African Americans have suffered much more discrimination and hardship than other groups.

The language that King employs is particularly effective as it presents this promise in financial terms. He compares them to a cheque that has not worked. This language not only clarifies his meaning, but it also helps the reader better understand the feelings of the African American population.

removing american indians from the south is for their own good.

there are not supposed to be quotations (¨ ¨) from an mla citation in a paper. if there was an author then the author´s last name should be in the parentheses instead. if it is a book, the page numbers hould be listed after the last name.

let´s use the book ¨to kill a mockingbird¨ by harper lee as an example:

"atticus finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets¨ (lee 46).

hope this !
