PLEASE HELP IM REALLY DESPERATE I WILL MEDAL

What is the main part of this passage?
What is the tone of this paragraph?
What does King hope to accomplish with this part?
How is it connected to the ideas before or after it?

We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy, and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.

Since the other person didn't really answer "How is it connected to the ideas before or after it?", I can answer that part.

Answer:

King does not want to wait a moment longer, hoping something will change one day. He thinks people should act now.

(that's what I put on my worksheet for paragraph 8, lol)

The tone of this is confidence that the person speaking can get others to agree to what he is saying.The main part of this passage is that the person speaking is trying to get everyone on his side that policies should be brought up instead of being sunknen into the things that are popping up from racial injustice. What King accomplishes is getting out what he wants to say and making a moving speech about how everyone is complaining about things that shouldn't be complained about and how they should think bigger of making something better instead of fussing about what they wish could be fixed, when it can if they just look at the bigger picture that CAN fix it. So basically King is trying to get everyone to think more of the national policy instead of a portion or it which is racial injustice.

Hope this helps
