i need help with this research paper on Louis Farrakhan and his position on civil rights

Answer:

Louis Farrakhan

Louis Farrakhan was the leader of the Chicago-based Nation of Islam. He served as minister of major mosques in Boston and Harlem before the 1975 death of the longtime Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad. After Warith Deen Muhammad led most of the NOI members into traditional Islam and renamed the group the American Society of Muslims, Farrakhan set up a separate group, at first named Final Call. In 1981 his minority group took back the name of Nation of Islam.

Farrakhan is an advocate of civil rights for African Americans and a critic of the United States government on many issues. For nearly 30 years, Louis Farrakhan has marked himself a notable figure on the extremist scene by making hateful statements targeting Jews, whites and homosexuals. Farrakhan has been both praised and widely criticized for his often controversial political views and outspoken rhetorical style. In October 1995, he helped organize a Million Man March in Washington, DC, calling on black men to renew their commitments to their families and communities.

Louis Eugene Walcott was born on May 11, 1933, in the Bronx, New York. His mother was born in Saint Kitts and his father was a Jamaican native who worked as a taxicab driver. After Louis' father died in 1936, the Walcott family moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where they settled in the West Indian neighborhood of the Roxbury area.

As a child Louis had intense musical training on the violin, receiving his first violin at the young age of six. By the age of thirteen, he had played with the Boston College Orchestra and the Boston Civic Symphony, and just a year later Louis went on to win national competitions. In 1946 he was one of the first black performers to appear on the Ted Mack Original Amateur Hour, where he also won an award. He and his family were active members of the Episcopal St. Cyprian's Church in Roxbury.

In February 1955, while visiting Chicago for a musical engagement, 21 year old Louis Farrakhan was invited to attend the Nation of Islam's Saviors' Day convention. The second leader of the Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammad  had attained his position following the mysterious disappearance of founder W.D. Fard in 1934, and had overseen its growth to tens or hundreds of thousands of members with an extensive network of farms, restaurants, stores, schools, and other businesses and institutions.

Read the following letter carefully before you choose your answer. The following is a letter written by an already established Voltaire to a young and newly published author, M. Helvetius, in 1739. (1) My dear friend—the friend of Truth and the Muses—your Epistle is full of bold reasoning in advance of your age, and still more in advance of those craven writers who rhyme for the book-sellers and restrict themselves within the compass of a royal censor, who is either jealous of them, or more cowardly than they are themselves. (2) What are they but miserable birds, with their wings close clipped, who, longing to soar, are for ever falling back to earth, breaking their legs! You have a fearless genius, and your work sparkles with imagination. I much prefer your generous faults to the mediocre prettinesses with which we are cloyed. If you will allow me to tell you where I think you can improve yourself in your art, I should say: Beware, lest in attempting the grand, you overshoot the mark and fall into the grandiose: only employ true similes: and be sure always to use exactly the right word. (3) Shall I give you an infallible little rule for verse? Here it is. When a thought is just and noble, something still remains to be done with it: see if the way you have expressed it in verse would be effective in prose: and if your verse, without the swing of the rhyme, seems to you to have a word too many—if there is the least defect in the construction—if a conjunction is forgotten—if, in brief, the right word is not used, or not used in the right place, you must then conclude that the jewel of your thought is not well set. Be quite sure that lines which have any one of these faults will never be learnt by heart, and never re-read: and the only good verses are those which one re—reads and remembers, in spite of oneself. There are many of this kind in your "Epistle"—lines which no one else in this generation can write at your age such as were written fifty years ago. (4) Do not be afraid, then, to bring your talents to a Parnassus1; they will undoubtedly redound to your credit because you never neglect your duties; for them: they are themselves very pleasant duties. Surely, those your position demand of you must be very uncongenial to such a nature as yours. They are as much routine as looking after a house, or the housebook of one's steward. Why should you be deprived of liberty of thought because you happen to be a farmer-general2? Atticus was a farmer-general, the old Romans were farmers-general, and they thought—as Romans. Go ahead, Atticus. 1A sacred mountain in Greece, known as the home of the Muses of Greek poetry 2A privileged member of French society who collected taxes on behalf of the king Paragraph 2 could be used to support which of the following claims about the writer's tone? His tone when discussing Helvetius's work is obsequious and flattering. His tone when discussing Helvetius's work is patronizing and demeaning. His tone when discussing the works of others is critical and analytical. His tone when discussing the works of others is deferential and complimentary.

Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder If I could put a notion in his head: "Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it Where there are cows? But here there are no cows. Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offence. Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That wants it down." Now read "The Pasture," also by Robert Frost. I’m going out to clean the pasture spring; I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I shan’t be gone long.—You come too. I’m going out to fetch the little calf That’s standing by the mother. It’s so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I shan’t be gone long.—You come too. Which best accounts for the different views of spring expressed in the poems?

young apple-tree, which, planted by birds or cows, had shot up amid the rocks and open woods there, and had now much fruit on it, uninjured by the frosts, when all cultivated apples were gathered. It was a rank wild growth, with many green leaves on it still, and made an impression of thorniness. The fruit was hard and green, but looked as if it would be palatable in the winter. Some was dangling on the twigs, but more half-buried in the wet leaves under the tree, or rolled far down the hill amid the rocks. The owner knows nothing of it. The day was not observed when it first blossomed, nor when it first bore fruit, unless by the chickadee. There was no dancing on the green beneath it in its honor, and now there is no hand to pluck its fruit,—which is only gnawed by squirrels, as I perceive. It has done double duty,—not only borne this crop, but each twig has grown a foot into the air. And this is such fruit! Bigger than many berries, we must admit, and carried home will be sound and palatable next spring. What care I for other apples so long as I can get these? 2 When I go by this shrub thus late and hardy, and see its dangling fruit, I respect the tree, and I am grateful for Nature’s bounty, even though I cannot eat it. Here on this rugged and woody hillside has grown an apple-tree, not planted by man, no relic of a former orchard, but a natural growth, like the pines and oaks. Most fruits which we prize and use depend entirely on our care. Corn and grain, potatoes, peaches, melons, etc., depend altogether on our planting; but the apple emulates man’s independence and enterprise. It is not simply carried, as I have said, but, like him, to some extent, it has migrated to this New World, and is even, here and there, making its way amid the aboriginal trees; just as the ox and dog and horse sometimes run wild and maintain themselves. 3 Even the sourest and crabbedest apple, growing in the most unfavorable position, suggests such thoughts as these, it is so noble a fruit. Excerpt from "Wild Apples" by Henry David Thoreau. In the public domain. I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong, The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam, The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work, 5The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck, The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands, The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy’s on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown, The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing, Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else, 10The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly, Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs. "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman, from Leaves of Grass. In the public domain. Question 1 Which sentence BEST states the author’s point of view regarding people who are ambitious?
