4.2.7 quiz: analyze themes in life and literature
read this passage:
there were old, half-rotten vegetables, bones from the
evening meal, covered in white sauce that had gone hard, a
few raisins and almonds, some cheese that gregor had
declared inedible two days before; a dry roll and some
bread spread with butter and "am i less sensitive
than i used to be, then? ", he thought, and was already
sucking greedily at the cheese which had immediately,
almost compellingly, attracted him much more than the
other foods on the newspaper. quickly one after another,
his eyes watering with pleasure, he consumed the cheese,
the vegetables and the sauce; the fresh foods, on the other
hand, he didn't like at all, and even dragged the things he
did want to eat a little way away from them because he
couldn't stand the smell.
--franz kafka, the metamorphosis (david wyllie, trans.)

Read the excerpt from martin luther king jr.’s "i have a dream” speech. and so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of new hampshire. let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of new york. let freedom ring from the heightening alleghenies of pennsylvania. let freedom ring from the snow-capped rockies of colorado. let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of california. but not only that: let freedom ring from stone mountain of georgia. let freedom ring from lookout mountain of tennessee. let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of mississippi. from every mountainside, let freedom ring. the most likely reason king uses allusions in this part of his speech is to share his knowledge of american geography. compare northern and southern destinations. remind listeners about small-town accountability. encourage listeners to envision freedom everywhere.
