I Have a Dream

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.

Letter To Advice Column

Dear Abby,           My name is Grant, I am a teacher in Louisiana. I am currently facing what one may consider a quandary. My dilemma began about a week ago. My aunt's friend, Miss Emma, has a nephew named Jefferson. Jefferson has recently been caught up in a messy web. He is being tried for murder. Although Jefferson did not commit the murder, he was present when it occurred. He was not awarded a fair trial.

King Lear Review

King Lear is an amazing play! The play uses its several characters,  to relay a very valuable life lesson. It teaches the importance of remaining humble and putting family first.
