What are the examples Martin Luther King provides in his "I Have a Dream" speech of the "rude awakening" that could be expected?

In his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, Martin Luther King is actually a bit vague as to what he means when he warns America "will have a rude awakening" if Americans fail to see the urgent need for change and return to their everyday, segregated, racist affairs because they believe African Americans will back down after venting a little frustration. He is, however, very clear on what he believes the "rude awakening" should not...

In his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, Martin Luther King is actually a bit vague as to what he means when he warns America "will have a rude awakening" if Americans fail to see the urgent need for change and return to their everyday, segregated, racist affairs because they believe African Americans will back down after venting a little frustration. He is, however, very clear on what he believes the "rude awakening" should not be.

In a later paragraph, he speaks out against the "militancy," or violence being promoted by the Black Power Movement of the 1950s and 60s. Instead, as a staunch advocate of peaceful protest, King supports protests in the forms of boycotts, demonstrations, sit-ins, and marches. We know the "rude awakening" lead by King would continue in these forms because he gives his people the following warning:

In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds.

He further warns, "We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence." His use of the phrase "creative protest" implies that he will continue to promote peaceful means of protest, even in the face of giving the nation a "rude awakening."

While we are not told specifically what to expect of such an awakening, we are told what triumphs he expects such an awakening to bring. He expects true equality to be acknowledged, true freedom, true justice, brotherhood among whites and blacks, an end to oppression, an end to discrimination, and an end to segregation.

What does the term BOND, as it relates to events depicted in The Merchant of Venice, mean ?

A bond is a written and signed promise to pay a specific sum of money on a particular future date or on the fulfillment of a certain condition. It is, therefore, a legal contract in the form of a loan agreement. The bond is normally signed by the parties thereto as well as a witness and is attested by a notary public or a legal authority who is mandated to perform such function, who can then...

A bond is a written and signed promise to pay a specific sum of money on a particular future date or on the fulfillment of a certain condition. It is, therefore, a legal contract in the form of a loan agreement. The bond is normally signed by the parties thereto as well as a witness and is attested by a notary public or a legal authority who is mandated to perform such function, who can then sign the agreement and may place a seal on it. Both parties are protected once all the formalities have been dealt with.

If either party, therefore, forfeits on the agreement, the injured party may then seek restitution on legal grounds. The claimant may only seek compensation in terms of the conditions stated in the bond and cannot insist on any other recourse except through applicable legal means. 

The bond signed by Antonio and Shylock has the following terms:

Shylock will lend three-thousand ducats to Bassanio with Antonio to provide surety (guarantee) for its repayment.

The specified amount should be repaid within three months from the date on which the agreement is finalised.

The loan has to be repaid by Antonio.

No interest will be charged.

If Antonio does not repay the entire loan amount (three-thousand ducats) on or before the specified repayment date, Shylock may cut out one pound of his flesh as compensation.

The terms and conditions of the agreement may not be unilaterally altered by any of the parties.

Since Antonio was unable to repay the debt because his merchant ships did not reach their destinations and he was out of pocket, Shylock could claim restitution. Antonio had to abide by the conditions of their agreement. This gave Shylock the ideal opportunity to exact his revenge.   

What is the setting of Chapter 2 of To Kill a Mockingbird?

Chapter 2 of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbirdis set in the Maycomb school. In this chapter, Scout attends school for the first time, where she meets her teacher, Caroline Fisher. Scout describes her as having "bright auburn hair and pink cheeks" and looking like and smelling like "a peppermint drop." Most of the children in the classroom, on the other hand, are "ragged, denim-shirted and floursack-skirted." The children in Maycomb are largely from...

Chapter 2 of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is set in the Maycomb school. In this chapter, Scout attends school for the first time, where she meets her teacher, Caroline Fisher. Scout describes her as having "bright auburn hair and pink cheeks" and looking like and smelling like "a peppermint drop." Most of the children in the classroom, on the other hand, are "ragged, denim-shirted and floursack-skirted." The children in Maycomb are largely from poor farming families, and Ms. Caroline, an outsider, doesn't really understand them. 

Ms. Caroline tells Scout that her father, Atticus, should not teach her to read, as it interferes with her learning. Ms. Caroline doesn't understand that Scout has picked up reading naturally. Ms. Caroline also tells Walter Cunningham that he can borrow a quarter for lunch and pay her back tomorrow, not understanding that Walter comes from a very poor family and could never pay her back. When Scout attempts to explain the situation to Miss Caroline, the teacher slaps her with a ruler. In this chapter, Scout interacts with the larger Maycomb community and realizes that she doesn't always understand the world around her. 

Who represented France and England at Versailles?

After World War I ended, a peace treaty was signed at Versailles. The people who represented the Allies at Versailles were Woodrow Wilson of the United States, David Lloyd George of Great Britain, Vittorio Orlando of Italy, and Georges Clemenceau of France. These leaders made up what was called The Big Four.

Woodrow Wilson proposed his version of a peace treaty that was known as the Fourteen Points. In the eyes of the European leaders,...

After World War I ended, a peace treaty was signed at Versailles. The people who represented the Allies at Versailles were Woodrow Wilson of the United States, David Lloyd George of Great Britain, Vittorio Orlando of Italy, and Georges Clemenceau of France. These leaders made up what was called The Big Four.

Woodrow Wilson proposed his version of a peace treaty that was known as the Fourteen Points. In the eyes of the European leaders, they felt that Wilson’s peace proposal was too idealistic and too easy on the defeated enemies. The other Allied leaders wanted a very harsh treaty. They believed Germany had the power to prevent Austria-Hungary from declaring war on Serbia, but Germany failed to take that action.

As a result, the Versailles Treaty was very harsh on Germany. Germany had to accept responsibility for the war and pay very high reparations. Germany lost some land it had gained in the past including Alsace and Lorraine. Germany was not allowed to have a military that could go on the offensive. The League of Nations was created to try to prevent future wars.

This harsh treaty helped create the resentment that ultimately led Germany on the path toward another world war just 21 years after World War I ended.

How do you think the physical properties of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen change when they combine to form sugar?

Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are the elements that make up sugars including sucrose, white table sugar.

Carbon is a solid at room temperature and is found in three different forms: Coal, graphite and diamond. Graphite and coal are soft while diamond, which has covalent network bonding, is a very hard material.  All are insoluble in water. Graphite and coal are dark gray to black. Carbon has a melting point of about 3500 degrees C.

Oxygen and hydrogen are both...

Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are the elements that make up sugars including sucrose, white table sugar.

Carbon is a solid at room temperature and is found in three different forms: Coal, graphite and diamond. Graphite and coal are soft while diamond, which has covalent network bonding, is a very hard material.  All are insoluble in water. Graphite and coal are dark gray to black. Carbon has a melting point of about 3500 degrees C.

Oxygen and hydrogen are both colorless gases at room temperature, with boiling points of -183 and -253 degrees C respectively.

The sugars that contain these three elements have very different properties. Sucrose and glucose are water-soluble colorless crystalline solids that appear white in the granulated form. Sucrose has a melting point of 186 degrees C and glucose melts at 146 degrees C. Glucose is  more often available as  a thick, syrup-like aqueous solution. The molar masses of sugars are much higher than those of their constituent elements:

sucrose - 342 g/mol

glucose - 180 g/mol

hydrogen gas - 2 g/mol

oxgen gas - 32 g/mol

carbon - 12 g/mol

There are other sugars with the same chemical formulas as sucrose and glucose, but different structural formulas. They have physical properties similar to those of sucrose and glucose.

Note that although sugars contain the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, they aren't produced directly from their elements. Sugars are plant products that are produced from the carbon dioxide gas and water that plants take in.

Why are Nepal, Columbia, Nicaragua, Portugal, and France classified as compact, prorupt, elongated, fragmented, or perforated?

States are political entities that incorporate within their established borders one or more nationalities. Each state can be categorized according to its physical characteristics, including its shape. Those categories include compact, fragmented, elongated, prorupted, and perforated, as well as other defining characteristics like the dominance of desert or major boundaries that run along large bodies of water (i.e., countries with long coastlines). In the cases of Nepal, Colombia, Nicaragua, Portugal and France, the categories, unsurprisingly, vary depending upon each state's shape. Portugal is categorized as an elongated state along with more obvious examples like Vietnam and Chile, which are long, slender territories. Nepal has been categorized as rectangular, but elongated is a more established term for countries of its shape, so that is where is it could be categorized for purposes of this exercise.

France would appear to be compact given that its center is relatively equidistant from its borders. It is, however, more properly categorized as fragmented because of its island territories in South America and the Caribbean, specifically, the territories of French Guyana and Corsica, which are physically detached from France "proper." Colombia is a prorupted state, as it combines the characteristics of a compact state with an extension in its northern-most provinces.

"The chief character in a Shakespeare tragedy is isolated, cut off more and more from normal relationships from relatives, friends, associates and...

After his father's death, Hamlet becomes isolated from almost everyone who he once held dear, a fact that certainly adds to his status as a tragic figure.

First, he becomes alienated from his mother, Gertrude, because she very quickly remarries after Hamlet's father's death with her brother-in-law, Claudius.

After his father's death, Hamlet becomes isolated from almost everyone who he once held dear, a fact that certainly adds to his status as a tragic figure.

First, he becomes alienated from his mother, Gertrude, because she very quickly remarries after Hamlet's father's death with her brother-in-law, Claudius. Hamlet sees this as an act of betrayal because his father so recently died (less than one month before her remarriage), and thus she did not appear to grieve appropriately. She seemed to be so in love with him while he was alive,  

[...] yet, within a month
(Let me not think on 't; frailty, thy name is woman!
[....] Oh God, a beast that wants discourse of reason 
Would have mourned longer!) [she] married with my uncle (1.2.149-156)

As a result of these feelings, Hamlet becomes estranged from his mother, believing her to be an improper wife. He likewise becomes estranged from his lover, Ophelia, when her father, Polonius, cautions her against attaching herself the young prince. He says, 

Be something scanter of your maiden presence,
Set your entreatments at a higher rate 
Than a command to parle.
[....] Do not believe his vows, for they are brokers,
Not of that dye which their investments show, 
But mere implorators of unholy suits,
Breathing like sanctified and pious bawds
The better to beguile. (1.3.130-140)

Polonius tells her that she needs to keep herself apart from Hamlet and not simply appear whenever he beckons her.  She should not believe his vows of love because they are only a mask for his sexual desire; his vows seem upright and honest but are just meant to deceive her into giving herself to him. Ophelia, a dutiful daughter, does as her father tells her, eventually returning any and all gifts Hamlet has given her, severing all private ties with him.

Hamlet is alienated from former friends as well when he learns that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern have been brought to Denmark by his uncle (who hopes that they will feed him information about Hamlet, now that he's grown suspicious of his nephew). Hamlet confronts them, saying,

You would play upon me, you would seem to know my stops, you would pluck out the heart of my mystery, you would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my compass [...].  'Sblood, do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe? Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, you cannot play upon me. (3.2.394-402)

The only really close relationship that Hamlet maintains throughout the tragedy is with Horatio.  He's lost relationships with his father (who died), his mother (who betrayed his father in Hamlet's eyes), his uncle (who killed his father and married his mother), his friends (who he has killed in England), and his girlfriend (who goes mad when her ex-boyfriend, Hamlet, kills her father). Even before his death, the general public seemed to support Polonius' son, Laertes', bid for the throne (instead of Hamlet, to whom it should have gone upon his father's death). With no one left besides Horatio, it is him to whom Hamlet entrusts the telling of his story once he's dead.
