In lines 319-334, king presents five specific steps that the u. s. should take. how do these proposals relate to the preceding part of his argument?

Martin Luther King, Jr., "A Time to Break Silence: Speech Against the Vietnam War

The five steps are:

1. End the bombing

2. Commit the U.S. to a unilateral cease-fire

3. Curtail the build-up of American troops in Laos and Thailand

4. Recognize the NLF as a legitimate party in negotiations

5. Set a date for withdrawal.

The preceding part of his argument was:

" King ends this penultimate section by quoting a Buddhist leader who had once admired the United States but who, from his experience of the war, concluded that America could never again be a revolutionary country for freedom. Its fate after Vietnam would be chiefly to be known and feared for its relentless use of military power."

This proposals are related because he wanted to stop war. He recalled how the U.S was feared for its use of military power. He wanted to have a change in the way war was being managed.

when i skim a text i look for anything i'm trying to find, like keys or clues or i just want to see if it is interesting to me.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
