Reread these two excerpts from "The Pony Express" Chapter 1 and answer the question that follows: The Pacific Coast was of the deepest concern to the Union. Situated at a distance of nearly two thousand miles from the Missouri River which was
then the nation's western frontier, this intervening space comprised trackless plains, almost impenetrable ranges of snow-capped mountains, and
parched alkali deserts.
and
California, even then, was the jewel of the Pacific. Having a considerable population, great natural wealth, and unsurpassed climate and fertility, she
was jealously desired by both the North and the South.
These two excerpts focus mainly on (5 points)
O the physical characteristics of California
O the North's plans to defeat the South in California
O the reasons why California was ignored by the North and the South
O the effects of war on the resources in California

mi hermana "sabe" bailar salsa. "conoces" tu el monumento la mitad del mundo? raul y yo sabemos al profesor de matematicas.

translated: my sister "knows" how to dance salsa. "do you know" the monument half of the world? raul and i "know" the math professor.

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.
