In the paragraph starting with “My friends, I must say to you ...” Martin Luther King Jr. uses words that feel urgent and passionate. Phrases like “I must say to you” show that he cares deeply about his message and wants to connect with the audience. He talks about “injustice” and “freedom,” creating a serious tone that highlights the importance of his cause. The relationships between words like “oppression” and “dignity” emphasize the struggle for civil rights, making it clear that this is not just about a simple act, like having a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, but about fighting for fundamental human rights and respect.
