How do you know?
the first means everyone the next is equality next is that we must do this together and last is to let freedom spred.
ReplyDeleteThe author was trying to tell us that everyone should be free. What I mean by that is that everyone no matter what religion, race , gender or sex is that we should be fair and be given fair things. The sturdy grace of brotherhood means that we are all excepted for who we are not for our looks but what is truly inside of us, and that is what it means to me.
ReplyDelete1. I think it means freedom because he wants boys and girls to be free and he said in the poem that he wants to do it together. He wants black and white people to go to school together.
ReplyDelete2. The first stanza means strong friendship. The second stanza means he wanted people to love one another. The third stanza says he wanted people to unite together as one. Stanza four says that he wanted black and white people to be together no matter what. I think it means a strong friendship because sturdy means strong and brothership means a bond.
Martin Luther King Jr. By Eileen Spinelli 01/02/20
ReplyDeleteThe first stanza means that everyone is similar, but different at the same time. Also, if we thought the same or looked the same it would be very boring and not diverse. The second stanza means everyone is accepted no matter what race they are, what gender they are, or what their religion is, we’re all accepted. The third stanza means he wanted other people to participate with him in this movement, he needs other people on his team, against racism. The final stanza means that everyone would be seen equal. What the author meant by the sturdy grace of brotherhood and how is brotherhood means everyone is united like a family, we’re all connected.
1. This poem means to me that Martin Luther King Jr. wants all children to have happiness. He also wants people of all nationality's and race to come together and share the common goal of equality and freedom.
ReplyDelete2. *The first stanza means that Martin Luther King Jr. knows that friendship is important.
*The second stanza means that all children deserve happiness.
*The third stanza means you can not fight racism by yourself.
*The fourth stanza means that Everybody wanted the same thing which was freedom.
3. What the author means by ''the sturdy grace of brotherhood'' is a strong friendship that shares the same goals.
that mlk.jr saw a world that eveyone can be treated the same in all 4 things he explained how he wanted happniess and joy and to bless evey soul and how his dreem cant come true alone, how it means to me is that he cared about evey boy or girl it did'nt matter if you were gay he just wanted life to be fair and what The Sturdy Grace Of Brotherhood means gay to dark it should all be fair dark to light they should be treated the same.
ReplyDeleteI think that this poem means that nobody should be alone.
ReplyDeleteAlso I think that we shoud not choose out or pick them last because then you are being racist. [For Example: it would be racist to pick all of the white people then all of the black people]
MLK was trying to unite the world and send a message of peace the struggle was real he wanted every person to respect each other to love their selves and to love their neighbor and also to be treated equally that was his dream. In today's society his dream has been fulfilled we can walk among different types of diversity doesn't make a different if we are black or yellow or white were all the same he's one of the greatest civil rights activist that ever lived.
ReplyDeletethe author was trying to tell you that all races should be
ReplyDeletetreated the same. and each stanza states that being
racist was not the way to solve things. I think that martin
Luther King really changed the Civil Rights movement for the better.
The author is trying to say all everyone should be treated equally.Each stanza was telling you being racist is not the answer to anything and I think MLK changed civil rights movement for the future of human culture. What the author means about "sturdy grace of brotherhood"is for everyone to be nice and together.
