T think the quote means simply that you find out who a person is by how he or she responds to pressure and tough times
-Kingsley Samuel
This quote is basically saying that it is you see a person's true colors when they are going through hard times. They prove who they really are not when things are going well, but when times are difficult in their lives.
Joshua Chery 270
I think this quote means that when times of trials and tribulations, a man or women reacts to it they will be judged on that.

I think that this quote means only he or she can find out where they stand. I agree with the quote because comfort and confidence doesnt fully make you a person, its where you challenge your self to susced. Kemari best 271
Abrianna grant class 272 I think this quote means that a man isnt really a man when he is in a comfortable state but he he really a man when he can stand up and face any challenge that someone or something throws at him. That is what i think this quote means.

I think Martin Luther King Jr. meant that a real man is someone who can take action in troubling and difficult time and a not-so real man is someone who says the the best but won't face miniscule problems

I think tis quote means that it doesnt matter where ever you stand in times of convenience, it only matters where you stand when you face a challenge.
-Terrence Anuku 270
I think this quote means how well a person can handle pressure and challenges no matter how hard it is.Javel Kellier 271
i believe that this quote means that a man isnt a man in momment of comfort and convenience but in challenge and controversy.
i strongly agree with this quote because a man isnt a man in the times on his comfort and convenience but he is a man in the times of his challenges and controversy's.
i disagree with arnold beacause i dnt think that the quote is infering that a man or woman reacts to it and get judged. i believe this because from my point of view i see that the quote is infering that a man is a man in his challenges and controversy's but not in his comfort and convenience.

I agree because a man or a woman cant be what they are suppose to be if they do not know what to do if any thing comes to them and thy cant live aright lifer if they just let ever thing that comes to them win. I agree with Abrianna's answer.

I think the quote means like you are not be compared places of peace you stand in were you are facing difficult times. I agree with Joshua Chery because he actually mucher to me.
Hi Mrs T-Hall,
I think that this quote means that,you are not supposed to be somebody's friend when this person have money to provide something to you,but all the time together on the good side or the bad side of the way. I agree with what Kingsley Samuel said because in hard time you will see who are your true friends.
Megane A. Nacier 272
I think that the quote means that it does not matter how a person reacts to a normal dat it matters how a person reacts to hard times or challenges or if they are under pressure to see if the person stands up to their word of strength and intellegence.
Oo wait i mean "That" lol
I think the quote means that you see the other side of someone when their going threw bad or hard times. Meanig that you can see the way that person acts that you've nver seen them act like when they go threw hard timies.

Cool quote, I think that this quote means that a man is not a man unless he faces and overcomes his challenges.
My name is randy ramirez from class 272.
the word quote is to repeat a passage,phrase or from a book,speech, or the like.I agree with the quote because comfort and confidence doesn't fully make you a person,its where you challenge your self to sucess.And I agree with what kemari says.
I think this quote means that the moments that you have trials and tribulations that are the ones that really define you.For example: when everything is going good you don't pray, but when something goes wrong you seem to turn to God and pray.
-Carliese Wright
i agree with terrence and kingsley i think that this qoute means that it dosent matter if you have all the confedince it has to do with the amount of pressure that you have at times.
i agree with terrence, kingsley and Marudania because i think that this qoute means that it dosent matter if you have all the confedince it has to do with the amount of pressure that you have at times.
The statement itself contains the answer. If the true measure of a man was contingent upon men whom only faced times of comfort, it's scary to even think how much more worse off society would be. Controversy, though not welcomed, tends to make the person stronger. Not to mention, more experienced and prepared to address a myriad of challenges. That said, where a man chooses to stand when he has a choice of comfort or controversy, is a testament to his character and personal fortitude.
I think this quote means a man isn't really a man if he does not know when and how to stand in a difficult situation.
I think this quote means that a man could only be a man when they show that hard times wont bring him down.
Also, I agree with Tai a man isn't a man if he doesnt overcome his challenges.
I also disagree with Arnold because this quote doesnt say any thing about being judged by anyone and do not know where he got that information from.
Kristina Wells 271
i think i understand what arnold was trying to say. he is tryig to say that by judging the ultimate measure of a man he really has to be judged to see if he stands strong when he is it times of challenges.
fiona larmond 271
this quote means a man isnt really a man if he feel comfortable and safe in aplace or at a certain point of time. a real man is a man when he can face problems and trials such as challenges and cotroversy. i agree with abriana grant because a real man standin moments when someone decide to throw a challenge at them.

I think the quote means that a real man is someone who can take inaction and prove there point. Also take in troubling and difficult time and a not-so real man is someone who says the best but won't face miniscule problems.

i think this quote mean that you can really see what something can do on a hard moment.It means that in a difficault moment you can really see what this person is capable of. Elischa Edouard
I think this quote means that you find out who a person really is when they go through tough times and challenges not only when everything is going their way and see how they deal with it.

My name is Jade Compton from class 271. This poem was spoken by Martin Luther King Jr, a famous man who spoke for rights and made many contributions to our nation. The meaning of the poem is very straightforward. This quote means that the true man for us is not who stands behinds us in comfort life when we do not need anything and we have all things to live but a true man is measured in a situation when we are facing some challenges in a bad time span and stands behind us. In other words, this means that if you see a person's true colors when they are going through hard times, they prove who they really are not when things are going well, but there are times that are going difficult in their lives times are difficult in their lives. Also it is about how you judge a man's character.
-Jade Compton 271
My name is Theola Carbon in class 271. What i think the quote is saying is that a man is not judged when he is in his comfort zone or a zone that he is usually in but when he stands up or the way he reacts to a challenge then he is judged.
It means that the personality of a man is not what they do. but the challenge or emotions they face trough their times.And i agree with what kingsley said.It is true that you find out who a person is by their problems and tough times.

This quote means how a man makes everything easy is not the right way,but going even further makes his life better even in tough times.By:Isaiah Taylor 270
I think the quote mean is that you are not a man in comfort but in serious times. I agree because if there are challenges you are push to your limit and in comfort you are not doing anything.
I think this quote means somebody is not measured by how lavish or comftable their life may be but rather how knowledgeable,wise and witty the person is.
-Daniella Felix 272
i think this quote means that if you wan't to know someone it not about i look or what ever clothes he/she wear.it about the what he done and what does the person had accomplish .
