anaphora: "Let there be ... for all
Answered by Reina B.
"To my compatriots, I have no hesitation in saying that each one of us is intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of the bushveld," is a simile that explains how Mandela has faith in South Africa for the future.

i have to compare Mandela speech to MLK speech. compare their fundamental argument. which author more successfully supports his argument.

what does that mean?

Answered by Ms. Sue
You're welcome.

This is an opinion question. Which speaker do you think was better at supporting his argument?

Answered by Reina B.
i would say MLK because he has a better way of using his language like the use of his words. Shows more rhetorical devices and methods.
Answered by Reina B.
so fundamental argument basically means who wrote it better?
Answered by Reina B.
what other rhetorical devices does Nelsons Mandela speech have?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Look at the basic premise of each speech. Which speaker provided the best reasons to believe his premise?

Answered by Reina B.
Mlk because he said "i am happy to join... what will go down in history" which justifies a conclusion.

Your last statement is right about Mandela's speech.

What was the basic point of King's speech?

Answered by Reina B.
to stop segregation basically

to go back to their homes knowing that something will be done.
Answered by Ms. Sue
OK.

Now which speaker gave the best or most convincing reasons to prove his point?

Answered by Reina B.
Martin luther king?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Remember, this is an opinion piece.
Answered by Reina B.
so i can say Martin luther king but what can be my reason why?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes, but your reasons are up to you. What arguments did King use to prove his points?

Answered by Reina B.
can it be how he uses allusion to reference on how Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to end slavery yet here they are still fighting for their rights that they haven't gotten?
Answered by Reina B.
that they will keep protesting, marching, until they are heard and someone does something.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Usually facts are used to support arguments. What facts does King cite?

Answered by Reina B.
umm idk cause it just says they refuse what the government says like that they can;t do anything, and stuff but i can't find any evidence.
Answered by Reina B.
that they won't be satisfied until an action comes forward?
Answered by Ms. Sue
This is a very powerful support for King's argument.

"But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition."
