As mentioned‚ the base metrical pattern of this poem is

I first explain absurdity; I then explain the three responses to it: suicide‚ hope‚ and revolt; next I analyze Camus notion of revolt; I lastly defend Camus account of revolt against criticism. Albert Camus defines absurdity as a conflict between what we want in the universe and with what we find. Weather it be meaning‚ reason‚ or order

King’s notion of non violence had six key principles. He believed that nonviolence was the sole solution that “cured society’s evil and create a just society.” He was not necessarily against the whites‚ unlike Malcolm‚ but rather wanted to unify the population.

Based on past rabbinic literature readings that I have done‚ I would have to say that yes‚ I do agree with Satlow’s statement. That’s because there
