Based on that portrait, what is Stickeen’s most remarkable trait? Defend your case with evidence from the text. B) “How do Negroes feel about the way they have to live?” (170). Discuss in detail three or four episodes from Richard Wright's “The Ethics of Living Jim Crow: An Autobiographical Sketch” that best illustrate how Blacks “ha[d] to live,” and that show, or at least suggest, how Blacks, including Wright, “fe[lt] about the way they ha[d] to live.” C) Write an essay in response to one of the following sets of questions based on Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” 1) “For years now I have heard the word ‘Wait!’” (267). What reasons does King put forward that blacks should not “wait”? Is his argument persuasive? Why or why not? 2) “One may well ask, ‘How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?’” (268). Discuss in detail King's response to this question. Is his argument persuasive? Why or why not? D) In “How It Feels to Be Colored Me,” Zora Neale Hurston takes a far different tone on the subject of race than do other writers that we have or will read.

Why? For this topic, you need not prove that Hurston’s piece contrasts more with the reading you’ve chosen than it does with any other reading. Instead, you should present specific passages/points/messages in Hurston’s essay that contrast strikingly with specific passages/points/messages in the text you’ve selected, and in each case explicate how and/or why those passages/points/messages starkly contrast.

, on April 21, 1838. At the point when Muir was 11 years of age, he and his family moved to the United States of America. Muir went to the University of Wisconsin for a brief period before being driven out inferable from the Civil War. He got back to Portage after the conflict and helped his sister in the development of a home. He did not get back to the University of Wisconsin when this was finished; all things being equal, he interned at the "College of the Wilderness"[Van06]. He went out and investigated the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers accordingly. This was the beginning of his natural exercises. Muir worked in an assortment of callings before turning into a traditionalist, yet the one he discussed the most was working in a plant in Canada. He had the option to utilize the two of his creative and mechanical capacities while working at the plant. All of this reached a conclusion when the industrial facility burst into flames in 1866.
Thesis
Stickeen possesses many noteworthy virtues, the most remarkable of which is his courage.
Father of The National Park
John Muir was the most notable and unmistakable preservationist and naturalist in California.

He had thought Stickeen inadmissible for the journey to investigate Alaska, however, after seeing the strength Stickeen had, he appeared to adjust his psyche. He was pretty much nothing and short, and he did not appear as though any canine Muir had seen at any point ever. Muir had little confidence in Stickeen, notwithstanding the way that he was just a small canine on an enormous outing. Stickeen dislike different canines, as indicated by Muir, yet he was a canine who surpassed his assumptions. That is the reason I trust Muir became enamored with him; however, it was not the sort of fondness I am discussing (Holmes).
This association caused him to feel like he was seeing himself in Stickeen through a mirror. Stickeen was underestimated and did not serve a particular capacity, however, Muir might have considered himself in this light. Muir's moment association with Stickeen sounded good to me since he was so challenging, smooth, and brilliant. Stickeen, then again, was extraordinary in that he had never seen these qualities in different...
