When the seventh man begins to tell his story, he introduces it in this way:
“‘In my case, it was a wave,’ he said. ‘There is no way for me to tell, of course, what it will be for each of you. But in my case, it just happened to take the form of a gigantic wave. It presented itself to me all of a sudden one day without warning. And it was devastating.’” (paragraph 8)

If we avoid our fear, we will lose our lives to a natural force such as a storm.

If we avoid our fear, then we give the fear power over ourselves and lose our freedom.

If we do not respect our fear, then we will need to surrender to our enemies that caused our fears.

If we do not respect our fear, then others will lose their respect for us.

Rationale:

Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at the time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers. If today I lived in a Communist country where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate disobeying that country’s antireligious laws.” (paragraph 22)

RI.CS.4: Read the excerpt above. The author’s tone in this paragraph can best be described as:

controlled anger

grudging respect

ironic bitterness

detached cynicism

Rationale:

Section 5: “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” – pg. 271

“Sometimes a law is just on its face and unjust in its application. For instance, I have been arrested on a charge of parading without a permit.

Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was ‘well-timed’ in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation.” (paragraph 13)

Rationale:

Section 5: “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” – pg. 271

respectful

conscious

prudent
