Question

Please help if you've ever listened/watched/read the "I have a Dream speech by Martin Luther King Jr.
I want to know what was the most moving parts of the speech and why they were so moving to you.

Thank you!!!

Answer 1

Your teacher wants YOUR opinion, not mine.

What do YOU feel was most moving?

Answer 2

I'll give you a hint. King was delivering a prepared speech, which was good but uninspiring. He sensed that and just began to "riff" (extemporize). That's when he said, "I have a dream..." and that's when the crowd got inspired, and that's the part most often quoted and remembered.

Answer 3

Ms. Sue, I just wanted to compare it to my own thoughts.
Reed, thank you, I also thought that part was quite inspiring!

Answer 4

Post your thoughts, and I'll comment on them.
