Read the excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.’s "I Have a Dream” speech. In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a

check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." King uses the "check” and "promissory note” metaphors to teach a lesson about financial responsibility. illustrate the idea of demanding what one is due. provide information about American economics. suggest ways to pursue the American dream.

<span> illustrate the idea of demanding what one is due.

All of the money references are about payment. Cashing a check or calling in a promissory note all result in being paid. However, if its a "bad check" or there are "insufficient funds" the payment never went through. The payment that is due is equality. The Declaration of Independence guarantees basic rights and that is what they want for payment.

Read the excerpt from The Common Sense of Bicycling: Bicycling for Ladies.

By straightening the knees and using the ankle movement freely, the rise of the knees may be lessened several inches. When the pedal is at the highest point, the toe should be raised and the heel lowered. . . . although the right pedal is at the highest point, the knee has made very little impression on the front skirt. The feet should be in line with the machine, turning neither in nor out. The knees must be kept pretty close to the machine and should not move laterally at any part of the circle. The arms should have a slight drop at the elbows. The handles should be about level with the saddle, but this will depend on relative length of arms and waist.
