excerpt from how to behave: a pocket manual of republican etiquette by samuel r. wells

do not fall into the absurd error of supposing that you may do as you at home—that is, unless you to behave in a perfectly gentlemanly or ladylike manner. the same rights exist there as elsewhere, and the same duties grow out of them, while the natural respect and affection which should be felt by each member of the family for all the other members, add infinitely to their sacredness. let your good manners, then, begin at home.

what is the author's purpose in this excerpt?

a.) to recommend to readers that they treat their homes as sacred places

b.) to argue that readers should show affection to their family

c.) to remind readers of their rights at home and within their family

d.) to persuade readers that good manners are necessary even at home

D.) to persuade readers that good manners are necessary even at home

Explanation:

some sort of sound device i believe.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
