Read the following excerpt and answer the question that follows. Abridged from Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe

Being the third son of the family and not bred to any trade, my head began to be filled very early with rambling thoughts. My father, who was very ancient, had given me a competent share of learning, as far as house-education and a country free school generally go, and designed me for the law; but I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea; and my inclination to this led me so strongly against the will, nay, the commands of my father, and against all the entreaties and persuasions of my mother and other friends, that there seemed to be something fatal in that propensity of nature, tending directly to the life of misery which was to befall me.

What does the historical context of the writing demonstrate or tell you? (10 points)

Group of answer choices

A, Even in that time, children and parents disagreed about what was best for the future.

B. Unlike today, children in that time did exactly what their parents wanted them to do.

C. It was unusual in that time for children to take on their parents' careers, as they do today.

D. Children who grew up in that time had their careers decided upon from their birth.

What the historical context of the writing demonstrates or tells me is that 1) Even in that time, there was a lower, middle, and upper class of society.

The father says that those adventures are "either too far above me or too far below me," which means that those far above him are the upper class, those far below him the lower case, and he is the middle class. So the middle class did exist.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
