Plz ! will give branliest and 50 points martin luther king jr. uses figurative language strategically throughout his letter to promote equality. how does the following instance accomplish his purpose of challenging the church leaders to take action against racial injustice? in those days the church was not merely a thermometer (strictly tells the temperature) that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat (changes the temperature) that transformed the mores of society. respond in three to five complete sentences.

The metaphor he chose is remarkable, because the church once had a big influence, very much like a thermostat, which regulates air temperatures by supplying a feedback. A thermometer measures shows temperature, but doe not take action. Martin Luther King Jr. used this metaphor to hint that the church should not be simply sitting around watching but should take action on trying to help people.

where are the answer choices?

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
