First I’ll talk about Martin Luther King and then Mount Rushmore.
(attention quand tu écris au passé, il
faut continuer au passé)
The first character I studied Martin Luther
King, an African-American pastor. It was a non- violent activist against racial
segregation and peace. It was
supported by John Kennedy in his fight and he became the youngest winner of the
Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his fight against racial segregation in the
United States. He gave a famous speech on August 28, 1963:(sois sûr de te rappeler de la date!!) “I Have a Dream”’. All his exploits (personnellement j’aurais dit *All his extraordinary achievements) led
to a myth. He was murdered but he became a national and then an international hero who defended the black people’s rights until his last breath and he
left behind a great deal of civil
rights for African-American community.
Mount Rushmore is a monumental granite
sculpture is inside the presidential memorial in the United States that traces
150 years of history. The characters are
curved in high relief and represent four of the most significant presidents in American history namely: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and
Abraham Lincoln. These four presidents are
celebrated as heroes by many Americans. Indeed these presidents carried out
actions that changed history such as
the abolition of slavery by Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln becomes a hero through his brilliant presidency,
and thus was mystified by US nationals,
but anyone can become a myth as long as his
achievements are recognized in time (je
ne comprends pas??). Anyone can
be a hero or a myth.
Finally Heroes and myths are the most
recognized to have achieved a feat to save others. Therefore Martin Luther King and Mount Rushmore’s presidents are living
and material evidence.
