    On August 28, 1963, in Washington, D.C., Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered the prominent speech “I Have a Dream” at the Lincoln Memorial to over 250,000 civil rights supporters. King’s speech was compelling and potent; it moved everyone. Furthermore, he helped change the world where there is justice. He believed in the equality between whites and blacks and died believing it. In addition, he strongly believes freedom exists for the blacks. He states, “[The white’s] destiny is tied up with [the black’s] destiny.” This quote emphasizes the problem of injustice in this world, and it makes the audience move into action. King’s speech was widely known, due to the effective tone he creates throughout his speech. His use of literary tropes and syntactical schemes help make this formidable tone. King’s speech influences the whites and blacks to listen by using extensive anaphora, metaphor, and diction to create a tone of necessity in his “I Have a Dream” speech.…

    In the first 15 pages, while the plot is still forming, at least eight basic ideas are introduced: a spiritual awakening is occurring in the world (p.4); humanity is evolving into a higher spiritual consciousness (p.4); seek the experiential (p.5); coincidences have spiritual significance (synchronicity) (p.6); the knowledge contained in the manuscript's insights has been hidden from most of the world (esoteric, secret knowledge) (p.8); anti-Christian attitudes (p.9); discover truth through experience (p.10); and when the student is ready, the teacher appears (p.15). These ideas are not always expressed in so many words, but their principles are. For example, the basis of the story is that the spiritual insights humanity needs are hidden in an ancient document, and must be uncovered if mankind is to advance spiritually. Not everyone, according to the story, is ready for or able to comprehend these teachings. The insights are for those spiritually ripe, the spiritual elite. The book implies that in time others will accept these ideas but for…

    The debate between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Dubois turned out to be one of the greatest intellectual as well as inspiring battles in our United States history. This great debate sparked the interest of African Americans and whites throughout the entire country. Both men had distinct views on how blacks should go about progressing politically, socially, as well as financially here in the United States. Both Du Bois and Washington wanted African-Americans to have the same rights as white Americans; But Du Bois encouraged African-Americans to demand equal rights, while Washington, on the other hand, often ignored discrimination. He believed that it was important for blacks to develop good relationships with whites because He was afraid that blacks who demanded equal rights would create bitterness between themselves and white Americans. Dubois ridiculed Mr. Washington’s tactics believing Washington’s accommodations program asked blacks to give up political power, insistence on civil rights, and higher education for Negro youth. Although Bois was ridiculed by these tactics he still respected him he says “Among his own people, however, Mr. Washington has encountered the strongest and most lasting opposition, amounting at times to bitterness, and even today continuing strong and insistent even though largely silenced in outward expression by the public opinion of the nation. Some of this opposition is, of course, mere envy; the disappointment of displaced demagogues and the spite of narrow minds” (W.E.B Dubois 3) While their strategy may have differed, both of these remarkable men had a common goal in the uplift of the black community.…

    Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech is one of the greatest speeches of all time. He achieves this status because the speech is brilliantly written and flawlessly presented.

    Washington uses an analogy to capture the audience’s attention and express his thoughts. One of the his most brilliant analogies was “A ship lost at sea for many days suddenly sighted a friendly vessel….in every manly way of the people of all races by whom we are surrounded.”. Washington tells a story by comparing White men to a distressed vessel and Black men to a friendly vessel. When the White men are in need of water, the Black men put aside their differences and help the Whites realize that all they need is right where they are. When in a bad situation, rather than returning the ignorant attitude that the Blacks received, Washington wanted them to do all they could to be kind neighbors to the whites while being sure not to challenge their superiority. The use of this analogy greatly influenced the Blacks to be confident in what they believed in and to not be afraid to express themselves. If the Blacks were going to gain the respect of the Whites, it was going to all respect of them and they intended to get it by hard work and determination.…

    Born in Atlanta Georgia in 1929, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., conceivably lived as one of the greatest social and religious leaders in a country where a group of its citizens had to endure excruciating conditions of disenfranchisement, inferiority and degradation of a second class citizenship by reasons of race, color or origin. In effort to condemn all acts of racial discrimination, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote several letters and gave inspirational speeches during his lifetime and strived to persuade governmental leaders to remove social barriers of segregation, acts of voter suppression especially in the southern states, and remote acts of racial violence against African Americans. Two of his pieces noticeably stand out as his greatest works, a “letter from the Birmingham City Jail,” in response to various religious leaders who had concerns about his peaceful demonstration in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. In the latter part of the same year Dr. King Jr. gave his hallmark speech, “I have a Dream Speech” at the Lincoln Memorial, in Washington DC. Even though the ‘letter’ and the ‘speech’ attracted different audiences with the latter stretching to reach the entire nations through radio and television broadcast, the two works are similar in style. They are the approach and methods, eminent change, nonviolent alternative to negotiation, and respect for diversity; all as means of inspiring intended audience through the art of persuasion.…

    Washington centers his speech around The statement “Fall Forward”. Fall forward, is meant to go against the phrase fall back and intended at taking risks that create innovative experiences and seeing failures as an educational experience, is his focal point since he knows that his audience will fail inevitably. Through their failures they move closer to success and gain added experiences. Washington being a successful actor who has failed numerous times gives him a sense of trustworthiness. In order to solidify this, trust he includes a story about how he auditioned for a musical on Broadway early on in his career and did not receive the character. Rather than abandon the idea of being an actor and fall back on to a different career, he used…

    In crafting his “I have a dream” speech, Martin Luther King Jr. relies on his credibility as a rhetor to assure his audience’s willingness not only to listen, but also to adopt his dream for the nation. MLK's life experiences helped him appeal to a broad range of audiences. Thus, Dr. King’s hereditary background, education, and occupation laid the foundation for his charisma, which informed his activism and effectiveness as a civil rights leader. Addressing an audience of hundreds of thousands of citizens is not an easy task just any orator could commence. It involves more than filling the air with positive energy and a certain sense of confidence.…

    Washington used nice rhetoric throughout his entire address starting from the first sentence he tried to get his point across by saying “One-third of the population of the South is of the Negro race.” He was trying to convince his audience that they will have to get along and work with the Negro race to prosper and create a good life for both races. There is a serious tone in Washington’s writing. He is buttering up his audience so that they will actually listen to what he has to say instead of ignoring it. Understanding the time period many whites in the South weren’t too fond of African Americans in general still. Later in the speech, Mr. Washington says “It is recognition that will do more to cement the friendship of the two races than any occurrence since the dawn of our freedom.” He is saying that the only…
