Okay, George. It's your turn to present your report on Dr. Martin Luther King.
Very well done, George. However, this sentence troubles me:
"In the space of just a few years, through the power of his intellect, the truth of his words, and the example of his courage, he left this country a different and better place, and made his own journey to a different and better place".
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you trying to say thet his actions turned America into a "different and better place" which he then decided to visit? Or was his "journey to a different and better place" meant to refer to his death? If that's the case, uh, you do know that he was shot in the head, don't you? I don't think Dr. King thought to himself "Gee, I'd like to journey to a different and better place like, oh, a puddle of blood on the hotel balcony!". Different? Yes. Better? Not So Much.
Why don't you try rewording that sentence for next week, mmmkay?
