Why is martain Luther king an hero?

Martin Luther King Jnr was a Hero in the true meaning of the word Hero simply because he was a person of note. He was a Hero in the sense that we understand heroes because of his bravery. He was a black man in the USA that led others to fight the concept that not being white did not mean that you were les then human. He showed Afro Americans and other minorities that they had the same rights to education and fair treatment as did white Americans. He did this by speaking to the nation and by using the power of the boycott. That is if a company does not treat you as an equal then you don't deal with that company. Promoting that sort of thinking is dangerous to the establishment, and being an intelligent man Martin Luther King Jnr Knew it. He worked in an atmosphere of constant death threats in a community that had a record for watching lynchings and murder and doing very little about it if those that were lynched were not white. Martin Luther King Jnr was instrumental in changing this for the better and for this he is a Hero.


What does Martin Luther King Jr. mean by saying Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see?

I used this quote in an essay, I was writing about a shadow that didn't really exist but by sense we knew it was there, like a presence. I feel that he was suggesting kind of cause and effect, like a theory of motion; everything that happens in life is caused. For him, obviously he would feel that we can contribute to the motions in life. But not sure this is just how I interpreted it!


Why was Martin Bormann nicknamed 'Hitler's Shadow'?

Because he always traveled with the Fuhrer. His face was widely known to Germany, but his name was not. And if you don't believe me, just look at any group shot of Hitler. Martin Bormann is the pudgy-faced balding man. He'll be standing very close to the Fuhrer.
