This is the one and the only best Ashley of the almost g-status class 281. I think King meant if u want 2 know a man, by knowledge and experience, than u have 2 see the man in action. Not when everything is okay, but when there is a challenge and u can see if he thinks before he springs into action.
As I Read
the quote by Martin Luther King Jr.
I remembered
how in the romans time when they will have a man fight a lion 2 see if he is strong and if he can think before he does anything.
Because
it is kind of based like that
ashes outta the building!:)
i think that means how where you are and where you go doesnt always mean what people think you are and that doesnt make you a man. what makes you a man is how you changlle your self and what you take seiously
hi my name is junior.i agree with martin luther king quote because people always think they are worth something but when its time to stand up for the challenge and controversy they is alway the first person to go and walk away from the challenge.
i agree with asheslove because she makes alot of senseand i think mr.king meant to mean that too yolanda
Wow Ms.T.Hall you write the greatest quotes I have ever seen. If only Dr> Martin Luther King JR. was still alive at age 72.
i agree with asheslove because i also think King meant if u want 2 know a man, by knowledge and experience, than u have 2 see the man in action. Not when everything is okay, but when there is a challenge and u can see if he thinks before he springs into action.

because his is 100% right.
hi this is Devon a.k.a big dizzy coming from class 273. I like that quote because it's from from the"the great" dr martin Luther king! And that quote is very true
I Think This Quote By MLK Means That Dont Get Too Confortable There Will Be A Time Where You Have To Shine With The Sun And It Wont Be Easy So be Known
- YuNg LuC -
i think king is trying to say that a real man is not someone that has muscels and is a good fighter a real man is someone who obtains knowledge and know s how to use it.
hey this is bianca. i thought about this quote for a while and i came to an understanding that this quote means you can simply judge a man or human by the actions and vibes he gives you. also he could do something wise that nobody has done and you won't understand how he was able to pull it off. like in the quote he says he stands in moment of comfort and inconvience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.That right there goes to show you that there in some cases he can be his usual slef at some time in point but when it comes to controversy and a challenge he will fight to get his point across and if that challenge is tough he will show that he can overcome it and nobody and i mean nobody can stop him. i dissagree with tavina because just because he does many actions and have not so great knowledge doesn't mean that's his true slef. for example: if someone tries to be smart how would you know that, that person is being his true slef. that person would probably just act as though he's smart to get your attention but you can't just say that you judge that person by actions it wouldn't matter.That person could play it off and you won't even know it.
wat up miss hall it ur favorite student courtnie of class 273 ,i think that quote written by martin luther king jr. means just because he doesnt go out and enjoy life you shouldnt judge him because he just sits down and do nothing.
my name is najee smith. I think the quote means that a man is not a man by getting comfortable. a real man is when they have problem and settel it in an honard manner.

hi this is olivia from class 281 and i think this means if u want to know about a man and what he can do u must not only see him when he is comfortable and when there is no problems but when their faceing challenges and to see how they overcome it
My name is Patrick Toussaint and I think that this quote Means That Dont Get Too Confortable There Will Be A Time Where You Have To Shine With The Sun And It Wont Be Easy So be Known
i think that m.king meant that you should'nt look at a man and jugde him on where he stands for comfort back when it comes to war or a challenge you should judge him on how he handles it and decides what to do.

i like to say that i agree with ashelylove... because what she says make alot of sense it sounds like she was trying to get at what i was trying to get at or say.
~~~SIMONE HARDING~~~*~~274
I really love how Olvia (281) and Simone (274) stated their opinion about the quote.
Can anyone make a reverberation using this quote? Either making a text to text, text to self, or text to world connection.

As I Read: A quote
I was Reminded: What My Precher
Because: When I was reading the quote it reminded me of when one sunday. I went to church and my precher said that same quote. Well at first I really didn't get what the quote ment. So when I read the quote sevral times. I got it.So I said that the quote ment that it doesn't matter if you work for anything. That's what I thought that quote ment.
Hi my name is Junior Elinor this is my reverabators page.
As I read: The quote written from Martin Luther King Jr
I was reminded of:The book Baseball In April.
because: In the book there was a baseball team that these kids name Michael and Jesse wanted to join.These two kids thought that it matters the measure of there self because they thought they wasnt going to make the team because of who they are and guess what they made the other baseball team.So that example right there prove to them it dont matter who they are or where they stand it really matters of when he stands at times of the challenge and the controversy.
i think king meant that if you don't to know anything about a person you don't have to be judgemental i can also relate to olivia.
this is david balan and i think the excerpt is saying that in order to know a man u must understAND AND HOW HE ACTS
well u kno who it is rae rae diva aka ragayla of the smartest class 281 just jokin around anyways i think tha dr.king means that a man can have his times of relaxing and being calm but when a challenge come to his corner{mind} that he is willing to put forth all his energy and see the man doin what he does best takes on a challenge my opinion is the same as ashes!!!!
As I Read the quote by M.L.K. junior
I Was Reminded of both my parents and Martin Luther King the way they all take the hard times and still go on witth their dream or the goals
Because this quote says a lot about if u have challenges dont let them break u down where u cant function rite. C u in school mrs.hall!!!!!
This is CARL.W.POWELL JR of CLASS 281 the best (name was meant to be cap) i think this quote mean that you cant know or tell what a person is about at a easy task but at a hard task you can, whether he is good enough to handle challenges or the way he does.
This quote reminds me of how some people judge others by their caver like during slavery and segregation times.
p.s remember no answer is stupid!!!! you got that!
also Ragayla smartest never!!! gonna happen OK stop joking like that that's wicked for you to say
Hi, I'm Chereen James from class 281, and I think this quote means that a real man isn't one who will try to make people feel better when there's a problem, but one who will fight to overcome that problem, which will bring more comfort to people. I can connect this with the book that I'm reading, "Somewhere In the Darkness", because Crab fought for his innocence to be proven, so that he can get the chance to be with his son.
i think that the qoute means that dont judge a man when he is comfortable but when he is at work

Hi Ms hall, its luigi from class 274. I think this quote means that you don't really know someone until they actually go through something difficult in life
As I read:the quote that Matin Luther King, Jr.said
It reminded: me when i first came to class 274
Because: when i first came to the class **** was the first student that spoke to me and i thought that we were going to be friend. Until one day, we had tech and he hit me with a hair brush since then we never talked. That is what i think the quote means.
Yo wat up this is Shawn from class 281 and I think that this quote means if u want to know the ultimate measure of a man don't judge him by where he stands in his time of comfort and convenience but when he's struggling and going throught rough times judge him on how he faces his Obstacles and over comes them. That will tell you the true ultimate measure of a man.
At I read this quote by Dr. Martin Luther King.
I was reminded of in my book when Randy was in jail and was stabbed.Many people thought he was going to die but he over came the obstacle and survived.
Because the same thing happened in the book as of the quote.
This Is YuNg LuC - The Dumbvest Of 281... XD
Well Im Not Too Sure But I Think So... And I Agrree With Carl.. NEVER RAGAYLA XD
JK
Well In My Opinion Of MLK's Quote I Think It Is What Put Into Action Not Talk. Because When Youre Comfortable You Are A Little Focused As In To Me Words. But For Challenges Is Actions...
Actions Speak Louder Than Words
I Agree With Shawn As Well In His Thoughts Of the Quote
Shae- I think that this quote simply means that, when people are comfortable and safe, no one really cares about how you feel then or how you feel when your living your life, wat they really wnt to know is how you are going to deal with a situation in a time of trouble or when your down on your last. They want to see if you are up for the challenge, and if itis not too much for you to handle.
I would have to say i disagree with this comment because mainly if you really want to know how someone deals with a problem in a sticky situation u have to know their commen life style and compare it to how they act when they are out of their shell.
i understand that the phrase says "The measure of a man", but you can never really understand and judge the actual life style of that man bacause he can very well be pretending, it is easy for people to talk about what and how they are going to do in the time of the situation but the real truth is that when that situation day actually comes its another story wid dem because that will be the time when everything that person says goes out of the window.
Shae- i am not sure i undestand wat najee smith is really trying to say whether i be wat she is saying is that if you run and hide in a sticky situation your not real man or if shes saying that you have to be a real man to not run and hide in a situation
you strength isn't judged on how you handle things when it comes easily but on how well you do on things that's hard on you. so you should try to challenge yourself instead of having things easily for you.that's how you know how good you really are.
btw this is cassandra
That right there goes to show you that there in some cases he can be his usual slef at some time in point but when it comes to controversy and a challenge he will fight to get his point across and if that challenge is tough he will show that he can overcome it and nobody and i mean nobody can stop him. i dissagree with tavina because just because he does many actions and have not so great knowledge doesn't mean that's his true slef. for example: if someone tries to be smart how would you know that, that person is being his true slef. that person would probably just act as though he's smart to get your attention but you can't just say that you judge that person by actions it wouldn't matter.That person could play it off and you won't even know it. also i think that m.king meant that you should'nt look at a man and jugde him on where he stands for comfort back when it comes to war or a challenge you should judge him on how he handles it and decides what to do.
the one i just wrote is mine octavina bastien class274
hi mrs hall,octavina bastien i thought about this quote for a while and i came to an understanding that this quote means you can simply judge a man or human by the actions and vibes he gives you. also he could do something wise that nobody has done and you won't understand how he was able to pull it off. like in the quote he says he stands in moment of comfort and inconvience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
I think that Martin Luther King Jr was trying to say that a its not how a man seems as a by his experience or his knowledge.Its how he handles a situation and how he goes through a challenge.ITS ABOUT HIS ACTION and how he uses it
hi i am samara martin from class 281 and i think that martinluther king meant that u shouldnt just judge a man by his look but you should judge him by the way that he thinks to resolve his challenges.

I can relate this quote to the book that i am currently reading because a little girl named maxie didnt like some girl named drita beacuse she wasnt from broolyn so she judged her by her looks but not her personallity but in the end they bacame best friends.
Carl .W. Powell Jr
yea Lucus right on at least someone agree with me just joking
i agree with both Shawn and Chreen they made good pointers
king robenson here. DR king is tring to say it is not what a man does at a time of training or practice, it is what he does when battle or war arrives
-pimpingentertainment
Yo Mrs. Hall this is Dante from 281. What i think king means is like another way to say don't judge a book by its cover. King is trying to sat is if you want know about a person, know what they're like in world. I agree with king because i remeber when i meet a person that i didn't like the way he looked that i treat him. Soon I got to talk to him then i realized that this person isn't bad.
Hii Mrs. Hall....this quote that you have is so true. I agree 100% with Mr. King.... I absoulty agree with Mr. Devontae too because he said that a man just doesn't have to be a good fighter or have big muscels. It's were he stands at a challenge and controversy!!!!
hi i m nicole of class 281. i think this sentence means that u can't conclude what kinda person is that with ur first image of that person. u have to c what he/she do, what is his/her manner of doin' things.
when i m reading this quote i was reminded of a chinese story of a idiom:don't conclude the image of a person just with his/her face.
Once upon a time in china there was a famous teacher. he was willing to teached everybody. he got a student that looked ugly and fierce. at first he didn't like him because he looked bad, but later he found that that student studied hard and was a gd student. when he grew up he was a famous n brilliant teacher too.
this story means that the lookin' of a person didn't mean his/her personality or how he/she do things. to conclude that person is gd or bad, u have to also comprehend the other sides of that person.
I think Martin Luther King is trying to say he is not just there or speaking for fame he is there to solve problems.I agree with him because it is like being the president, they are there to solve our problems not for fame. But, if they are they are in the wrong place.
I agree with Robenson but he didn't say if he agreed with the quote or not. I also agree with olivia and lucas because they kind of sound the same.
But it is a little bit hard to compare quotes because I don't know many.
jayvone marty xshaty that's when I did reverberator page
Hi it's Jayvone Marty well what I think this quote means is that;When a man stands in his own shoes and he fights for what his rights for. Also he has faced very hard challenges and he fought for what he wants.
i think this means a real man is not one with strenght a real man is one that has knowledge i think it means talk is cheap a real man stands up for what he means and wants
this is longda i think it mean ithink wat makes u a man is how u change urself in the future and now
and i agree with asgleys quote about martin luther kinf jr
Hi I'm Shamarie from 281.I think this quote means that you cannot judge a man when he is in his times of luxury, but when he is in times of controversy, because when the trouble hits him that's the time the real person comes out. For example: people say when a person is scared, thats the time the real person comes to the surface
Reverberator's page
As I read: this quote by M.L.Kj.
I was reminded of: a show, Jeepers Creepers.
Because:it's a horrow movie,and a guy got scared and the real person came to the surface, because he didn't want to die and he didn't care about no one but himself and his friends didn't know him like that.
Hi Mrs Hall, I think Martin Luther King means you can't know what a person is made of unless you challenge them to see what they could do.
hi this is sandra from class 281 and this quote might mean that us people don't show our true colors when we are comfortable and i can relate this to john mccain because when the debate came between jhon mccain and obama mccain choked.
this is dorcas 4rm 281 and i completely agree with mr.king because for example,if you had a test of 3 questions and the answers were knowingly on the board,the test taker will get one hundred percent because he is in a calm situation without challenges but if there was nothing on the board and there were a hundred questions,the test taker wud b challenged and you would see what the test taker is capable of and u wud c his strengths.
my name is Enjah Newman i don't know what to say about your blog it is neat and wonderful but you are the best teacher someone can have Your tuly
Enjah Newman
i think that king meant that you should see a man not for his knowledge not for what he knows you should see him in action and see what he could do
