Q2

by alovitt Thu Mar 01, 2012 7:54 pm

I was stuck between C and E and ended up picking E, but only because I thought King was more concerned with unjust laws than social change, although it is clear from the passage he was concerned with both. Lines 35-37 indicate that he was concerned with social change. Why is C wrong?

You are definitely down to the two most attractive answers.

The second paragraph goes into some detail about how Thoreau used civil disobedience in reform of the individual, rather than for society, or social change.

King used civil disobedience for social change while Thoreau did it for individual benefit.

This makes (C) an unattractive answer at this point. We would not say that Thoreau's work provided him a model for using passive resistance to effect social change.

(E) is something that is supported by the passage. The author, in the first passage, states that this influence of Thoreau's work towards King's philosophy is overemphasized. So we have support that there was an influence on King's philosophy.

This is said VERY explicitly (but not very obviously if you don't know where to look......like me) in 6-9.

I was down to (C) and (E) too but I was a bit concerned with the phrase, "provided a model." It was a bit too strong because, as we can see, King and Thoreau didn't completely see eye to eye.

Thoreau was the only transcendentalist that King was familiar which was indicated in 22-23 "King WOULD HAVE FOUND ...AKIN"
