Martin Luther King, Jr

"I Have a Dream"

Delivered 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C.

I decided to summarize Martin Luther King, Jr's speech "I Have a Dream". It happened in 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C. As I understand, he talks about the human rights. In fact, he talks about the rights for the black people, who had no rights for that time and who were discriminated all the time because of their colour. He says that according to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, all the people, no matter white or black, must have equal rights. So, he dreams that black people will get equal rights as white people have. Moreover, he says that even the black people doesn't have any rights yet, they should be patient and never use aggression toward white people. He strongly believes that sometime later, black people will get rights.
In my opinion, the main theme of the speech is about the Rights for the Black People. In his speech, Martin Luther King, Jr says that five score years ago the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. It became as a bright hope for millions of Negro slaves to become free. But after so many years the Negro people are not free yet. He says that after hundred years black people are still discriminated by white people and that they still feel their selves as an exiles in their own land. Furthermore, he says that it is time to take up the running and to take rights for the black people. He holds that there will be neither rest nor peace in America until the black people will be granted their citizenship rights. There would be so many revolts in the country unless they take their rights, he says. But, Martin Luther King, Jr calls people to be patient and to be disciplined.
He said: "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."" I think that he wanted to tell us that all the people are equal, they were create by God, that there should be no difference between people, and it is doesn't meter what the colour is.
He wants people to believe that one day black people will become free. "With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day", he said.

THE ALL-AMERICAN SLURP (Summary)

The story is about a family who recently emigrated from China to the United States of America. One day, the family was invited to visit American family for the dinner. Unfortunately, the Chinese family didn't expect that there would be some differences in etiquette between the China and the United States.

I summarised the paragraph where the Chinese family was invited to the American family and what problems did they face there.

The family was invited by their neighbours, the Gleasons. They came to the house, shook hands with their hosts and took a seat on the sofa. Next, the first problem happened. "Do try some of the celery, Mrs. Lin" said Mrs. Gleason. Since it is impolite not to take one, all the members of the Chinese family got ones. The worst thing was that they never used to eat raw celery in China. Anyway they took by one and went to take a seat on the sofa again. Because they never used to eat raw celery, Mrs. Lin tried it first. "Crunch!' "It's not bad!" she whispered. Then dad, the girl, and her brother got ones. They began Crunching. Here comes the problem. Long strings ran through the length of the stalk, and they got caught in the teeth. So, the girl pulled the strings out of the stalk. Z-z-zip, z-z-zip. And four of them began making the noisy sound z-z-zip, z-z-zip, z-z-zip. Unfortunately, they didn't know that in America they never pull the strings out of the stalk. Consequently, there was dead silence in the house, except their z-z-zipping. Everybody were staring at them. But that was not the end of the problems. Later, Mrs. Gleason announced that the dinner is ready and that everybody is invited to the table. The family found that there were no chairs around the table, so they carried some chairs and sat down. The one interesting fact is that, that all other guests just stood there. Mrs. Gleason told them that it was a buffet dinner and that everybody should help his/her self, and eat in the living room.

The family felt their selves so uncomfortable, that they sat on the sofa for the rest of the dinner and couldn't eat anything.

Genghis Khan Biography

Mongolian conqueror

The founder of Mongol nation and the creator of the one of the most greatest empires in the world's history, Genghis Khan, was born in 1155, in Mongolia.

Genghis Khan, whose original name was Timujin, was born near the Onon reaver, which was not so far from it's current capital Ulaanbaatar. According to the history, Temujin was born with a blood clot grasped in his fist, which in Mangolian traditional belives ment that he had a destiny to become a great leader.

Since Mongolians were nomads, they were ready to move all the time. So, like many of nomads of Mongolia, Timujin's life was difficult. When he became 9 years olds, his father Yesukhei took him to find him a wife and Timujin took Borte as his future wife. Unfortunately, on the back way home his father, Yesukhei, was killed by Tatars and this was the beginning of the hardest time in Timujin's life. His father's clan Borjigin left Timujin's family alone to suffer. As a result, Timujin, his three brothers, one sister, and his mother were left alone and they tried to survive. Timujin and his brothers began hunting and this was one of the reasons why their family survibed for many years.
Temujin's mother Ho'elun taught him many lessons about the political climate of Mongolia. When he was 16 he married Borte, but soon after marriage she was stolen by Merkits. Timujin with the help of his friend, Jamuka, resqued her later. He had 4 children in law, but from other wifes he had many children, but they were not allowed to become the clan rulers.
"Some of the Mongol princes named Temüjin as their ruler, giving him the title of Chingiz-Khan (Genghis Khan), or "Supreme Ruler of the Ocean." /http://www.notablebiographies.com/Fi-Gi/Genghis-Khan.html/ In 1203 Ginghis Khan began to conquer neighbor enemy clans. In 1203, he gained a complete victory over Toghril, who was later killed by the Naimans. Toghril's people were absorbed by the Mongols. Than, Genghis Khan turned his power to destroy his enemies in wetern Mongolia. Consequently, he destroyed Naimans and the rest of Merkits in 1204. His power and his lands were increasing. In 1206 a group of Mongol princes proclaimed Genghis Khan supreme ruler of the Mongol peoples.
"Genghis Khan did more than just invade and conquer. He established a code of laws for the empire and a standard written language for his people, and he set up a kind of postal system to help different parts of the empire communicate with each other. His greatest skill, though, was as a military leader. In 1211 the Mongols began a full assault on China by invading the entire region north of the Great Wall. In the summer of 1215 Beijing, China, was captured. Leaving one of his generals in charge of further operations in North China, Genghis Khan returned to Mongolia to devote his attention to events in central Asia." /http://www.notablebiographies.com/Fi-Gi/Genghis-Khan.html/
Later, he began his company to the west. By the April 1220 he had conquered such cities as Otrar, Bukhara, and Samarkand. Genghis Khan sent his two best generals in pursuit of Sultan Muhammad, who fled across Persia and was killed on an island in the Caspian Sea. In 1221 he destroyed a city of Balkh, in the Persian province of Khurasan. In 1226 he resumed the war with the Tanguts, the Tebetan people. He died, during the war, in the Liupan Mountains in Kansu on August 25, 1227

I think, that Ginghis Khan was one of the greatest person in the world's history. He ruled his own empire from the moment of creating it till he died and I am admiring with his priciples of ruling the empire, he was very smart person who created Mongolian own writing. He was very good manager, who all the time knew what to say and what to do.
