In paragraph 3, Dr. King’s statement that the people of Montgomery “injected a new meaning into the veins of history and civilization” is an example of
1. A steady stream of cars and pedestrians jammed the streets around the Holt Street Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. By early evening a patient, orderly, and determined crowd of over 5,000 African Americans had packed the church and spilled over onto the sidewalks. Loudspeakers had to be set up for the thousands who could not squeeze inside. After a brief prayer and a reading from the Scripture, all attention focused on the twenty-six-year-old minister who was to address the gathering. “We are here this evening,” he began slowly, “for serious business. We are here in a general sense because first and foremost we are American citizens and we are determined to apply our citizenship to the fullness of its means.” 2. Rosa Parks, a seamstress and well-known activist in Montgomery’s African American community, had been arrested and put in jail for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger. Montgomery’s black community had long endured the humiliation of a strictly segregated bus system. The day of the mass meeting, over 30,000 African Americans had answered a hastily organized call to boycott the city’s buses in protest of Parks’s arrest. 3. Even before the minister concluded his speech, it was clear to all present that the bus boycott would continue for more than just a day. By the time he finished his brief but stirring address, the minister had created a powerful sense of communion. “If we are wrong, justice is a lie,” he told the clapping and shouting throng. “And we are determined here in Montgomery to work and fight until justice runs down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.” Historians would look back at Montgomery, he noted, and have to say, “ ‘There lived a race of people, black people, fleecy locks and black complexion, of people who had the moral courage to stand up for their rights.’ And thereby they injected a new meaning into the veins of history and civilization.” 4. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., made his way out of the church amid waves of applause and rows of hands reaching out to touch him. His speech catapulted him into leadership of the Montgomery bus boycott, and it also proved him to be a prophet. a. a simile. b. a metaphor. c. an allusion. d. personification.

The Wisdom of Sixth Grade One of my favorite teachers was my teacher, Mr. Larish, who taught sixth grade at Parkway Manor Elementary School. Sixth grade was the final year of elementary school and junior high started the following year. I realized that along with the education in subject matter, which one would expect, I also learned some tidbits of wisdom that I would never forget. One was the cure to hiccups. At least it has always worked for me, and I use it with my children. It’s called “the match trick.” Whenever I would get the hiccups in sixth grade, Mr. Larish suggested the match trick. He put an unlit match in a cup of water and told me to drink the cup of water without drinking the match. It worked every time. I remember him saying that he wasn’t sure if it were the small amount of sulphur from the match or because you have to concentrate on not swallowing the match that did the trick. Another piece of wisdom that stuck with me was the one thing which is impossible to do. Mr. Larish told us that it is impossible to dig half of a hole. Billy’s hand shot up. “You can just dig a little bit!” Mr. Larish said, “Then you’ll have a little hole, but it is still a hole. Even if you dug it in the shape of a semi-circle; it is still a hole, a semi-circular hole. There is no way to make half of a hole. It is impossible!” I always remember that when I feel challenged. Whatever the challenge is, at least I’m not trying to dig half of a hole! I also learned the importance of labeling my math problems correctly. I remember working on a series of word problems ones that read like this: Susie had $20 in her purse. She wanted to buy a ticket to go on rides at the carnival for $8.00, a soda for $ .75, fries for $1.00, and a hot dog for $1.50. How much money did she have left? I solved the problem and showed my work. The answer I wrote was 8.75. Yes; I did the math, but I forgot the dollar sign. Mr. Larish asked me: “8.75 what? Are there 8.75 kumquats? How can I tell that Susie doesn’t have 8.75 kumquats left? Don’t forget that dollar sign, or I’m going to think you mean kumquats.” I didn’t know what a kumquat even was until sixth grade. Every time I see those tiny orange fruit at the grocery store, I always remember how important it is not to forget that dollar sign! 1. What can you about the author’s sixth grade experience? a.
