I have a dream speech

Allusion

  • "My country, tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing..." (pg. 5) is effective in this speech because even though African Americans are living free in the United States they are still being treated like they don't have no rights and Martin Luther King Jr. want everyone to be free
  • Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty (pg.1) is effective because before the slaves were free they were poor, didn't have freedom, rights, justice, etc and now that African Americans are free they still have the disrespect of being low class
Repetition

  • Now is the time to (pg.2) is effective because Martin Luther King Jr. was tired of blacks being treated differently so he wanted to tell the world that it was time to change the future of black lives
  • I have a dream (pg.5) is effective because Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed that all people in all colors will come hand in hand and be friends with each other and is trying to show that he want whats best for the people 
Metaphor

  • Let us not see to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred (pg.3) is effective because this metaphor is saying that you can be freed but shouldn't be freed from hate towards you and this lets African Americans not have justice
