The Underdogs
by Mariano Azuela
Tonight or tomorrow at the latest we'll meet the soldiers. What do you say, boys, shall we let them find their way about these trails?" Demetrio asked
The ragged crew jumped to their feet, uttering shrill cries of joy; then their jubilation turned angry again and they gave vent to more insults and threats.
"Of course, we can't tell how strong they are," said Demetrio as his glance traveled over their faces in scrutiny.
"Do you remember Medina? Out there at Hostotipaquillo, he only had a half a dozen men. Well, he held back the soldiers, didn't he? And he defeated them, too."
"We're every bit as good as Medina's crowd!" said a tall, broad-shouldered man with a black beard and bushy eyebrows.
"Viva Demetrio Macias," they all shouted.
They gathered dry brush and wood, built a fire and placed chunks of fresh meat upon the burning coals. As the blaze rose, they collected about the fire, sat down cross-legged and inhaled the odor of the meat as it twisted on the crackling fire. Then, they dangled the meat from a cord fastened to a huizache tree, to dry in the sun and wind.
"Well, men," Demetrio said, "There are only a few of us, but we know this land better than anyone."
He undid a rag belt about his waist, loosened a knot in it and offered the contents to his companions. Salt. A murmur of appreciation rose among them as each took a few grains between the tips of his fingers.
They ate voraciously; then, glutted, lay down on the ground, facing the sky. They sang monotonous, sad songs, uttering a forceful shout after each stanza.

How does the allusion to the boston tea party reinforce king’s argument about civil disobedience? by citing an example of civil disobedience by everyday people, king shows that civil disobedience can be necessary and productive. by using an example of civil disobedience that took place in the past, king shows that civil disobedience is no longer necessary. by using an example of civil disobedience that took place in the north, king shows that the southern states have not used civil disobedience effectively. by using an example of a “massive act of civil disobedience,” king shows that the demonstrations in alabama are not as large and disruptive as his critics think.
