Question

in the MLK jr i have a dream speech the anophora "one hundred years later" how does the rhetorical device help to strengthen or advance this argument. how does King’s use of anaphora strengthen and advance this argument. Think about:
The time period of his speech
The idea(s) he is trying to emphasize through repetition
The emotion or sentiment he is trying to trigger through repetition

Answer 1

What will you write to answer these questions? They seem pretty straightforward to me.

Answer 2

i will say

this strengthens the argument by showing repetition, and continuously stating "one hundreds years later, the negro is still not free. which means that after all these years nothing has really changed and segregation is still part of life. and now is the time where they can change that.

i don't think that is right?

Answer 3

Do you see the echo of Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg?

Answer 4

i don't understand

Answer 5

Lincoln: Four score and seven years ago . . ."

King: "Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

King: "one hundred years later"

Answer 6

Answer 8
