Q In Strength to Love, read Chapter 1, "A Tough Mind and a Tough Heart." Clearly, Dr. King uses a rich vocabulary, both as an orator and as a writer. As you read, note words that he uses that you're unfamiliar with. I suggest looking up and recording the definitions of those words as you read. After you finish the reading, upload a document that contains 15 vocabulary words and their definitions from "A Tough Mind and a Tender Heart." Many words have more than one meaning. Therefore, the definition that you include for each vocabulary word should be the definition that applies within the context of the essay.
