What Manner of Man: Post #2

Summary - pgs. 34-55
The next chapters of Dr. King's biography describe his pathway to success. All his trials and all his mistakes are told in good description. It was not easy for him to go his way, however. Many times in his life, King had to make some sacrifices. At some points, his life was threatened as well, mostly by people who do not want to see him succeed, or by those who were simply jealous of him. At this point, King began to ponder about why, in his time, people were acting the way they were when it comes to racial discrimination. He deduced that the heated history between Whites and African-Americans should be able to end in some way. Trying to find this answer, King decided to keep researching for a possible answer.

Quotation Explanation
The author gives a small description of Coretta Scott King's personal ambitions when he says, "Beyond all that was a deeper and more compelling reason. By this time, Coretta was convinced that her future life would revolve around the concert stage." (Bennett 45).

My Reaction
As with the previous chapters, Bennett's writing style is still subjective. Despite this, his extensive use of high-level vocabulary makes his sentences stronger. At this point of the book, he begins to use metaphors, as seen in the Quotation Explanation. I can see that all the prior events of King's life are leading up to a major event in his future life. This could happen near the end of this life, where all of his efforts will pay off and improve a factor in America's society at the time period.
