When it comes to writing I wouldn't consider myself abysmal, but I'm certainly not the best. My strength in writing is holding a conversation with the reader, so narrative is really my style. I'm great at telling stories and keeping the reader intrigued. My weakness would most likely be determining which person to use when writing the paper (first person/third person). Since I'm good at holding a conversation with the reader, that is usually what I resort to. Even in situations where the paper should be expository. My action plan for this is to read more and try to identify the way in which the books are written.
Martin Luther King's carefully crafted speech using pathos, repetition, and metaphors emphasizes his deeply rooted love and dedication to unalienable human rights. A rhetoric device commonly used by King in is 'I Have a Dream' speech was repetition. His use of repetition assist him in generating his points. An example of this would be his constant use of "One hundred years later." King uses this to stress to the listener's how long of a stretch that it has been and the right thing still has yet to be done. This helps the listener to understand where King is coming from and relate to it.
