Read the passage.
the lieutenant had been very meek, but now his face was flushed, and he looked into the doctor’s eyes. “i guess i won’t have it amputated,” he said. “nonsense, man! nonsense! ” cried the doctor. “come along, now. i won’t amputate it. come along. don’t be a baby.”
in this excerpt from “an episode of war” by stephen crane, why does the doctor promise not to amputate the lieutenant’s arm?
he worries that other wounded soldiers will become frightened.
he wants to persuade the lieutenant to cooperate.
he does not have time to tend to the lieutenant’s wound.
he believes the lieutenant is not seriously injured.

hi! : )

what is the first step in analyzing or preparing a summary for a piece of literature?

c) describe the setting!

: )

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.
