The speech “I have a dream” is written by Martin Luther King and he holds the speech in August in 1963 when there was “Marc on Washington for jobs and freedom”, and he stands on the stairs to Lincoln memorial and talk to the people.
In the speech Martin Luther King appeals to people’s great emotions, pathos, when he talks about the bible, the Declaration of Independence and the document Emancipation Proclamation which gave the American slaves their freedom, and the U.S. Constitution, which are all concepts that sits heavily in the U.S. self-understanding. And with the words, "Five score years ago, a great American, in Whose symbolic shadow we stand today …", refers Martin L.K directly Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address of 1863, which begins with" Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation. Anaphora, the repetition of a phrase at the beginning of sentences, is a rhetorical tool. An example of anaphora is found early as King urges his audience: "Now is the time..." is repeated a lot of times in the in the whole speech. The most widely cited example of anaphora is found in the often quoted phrase "I have a dream..." and he used that sentence a lot, because it is his dream he talk about, it is his dream to live in an America where people can live side by side and the color doesn’t matter. Martin Luther King used metaphors in his speech to the people and he does it so they understand it better and they have some pictures to go after in their one dream.
