In his acceptance speech for the 1964 nobel peace prize, martin luther king jr. likens his experiences in the civil rights movement to traveling on a road. explain how using a road as a symbol for his experiences impacts the meaning of the speech. be sure to use specific details from the speech to support your ideas

During his speech Martin Luther King Jr. mentioned that the rights movement he was fighting for was like travelling down a road because roads are full of turns and they can be very long and dangerous. King states  "Negroes of the United States of America are engaged in a creative battle to end the long night of racial injustice."

Being engaged in a long battle shows comparisons to a road as they take time to complete. This shows that the end of both may be hard to see at times but if you keep moving forward then you may reach the goal.

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
