What are the purposes of King's allusions?

English

ANEK [815]2 years ago
4 0

The purpose of Martin Luther King's allusions in his speech are "to evoke images of other freedom fighters" and "to illustrate that some laws are unjust."

<h3>What is allusion?</h3>

Allusion is a type of figurative language and rhetorical device. It consists of mentioning someone or something that is well known in order to emphasize an idea or convey an image. For example, if you wish to emphasize the idea of kindness and generosity, you can allude to the Good Samaritan from the Bible, a character who is well known for having such qualities.

In Martin Luther King's speech "I Have a Dream," many allusions are made. One of them, for example, is an allusion to President Lincoln. After reading the speech, we can find two purposes for those allusions:

  • to evoke images of other freedom fighters.
  • to illustrate that some laws are unjust.

By making allusions, thus, King makes his speech more persuasive and evokes ideas about freedom and laws. We can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.

This is the story of the hunter who kept on sneezing...
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Story writing.

Explanation:

This is the story of the hunter who kept on sneezing. He was supposed to be hunting in the nearby forest when he was caught off-guard by the bout of sneezing that made him unable to concentrate or be quiet. So, he had no option but to wait to see if the sneezing would get over soon.

But even after hours of waiting, the sneezing did not stop. Thinking if he had inhaled some dust or pollen, he washed his face at the nearby brook. For a while, it seemed to solve the problem. Happy about the result, he went ahead to hunt. But just as he was about to silently get a deer, the sneezing bout came back, and, unable to control the impending sneeze, he frightened the deer so much it ran away.

Dejected in not getting any game and still stuck with the sneezing, he returned home empty-handed. The unending sneezing bout had taken the better of him and made him unsuccessful in his hunting.

In at least 150 words, explain what it means to be an omniscient narrator. Provide an example from one of the stories you’ve rea
Alenkasestr [34]
<u>Omniscient narrator</u>:
This is a common 3rd person narrator in which the person of the tale knows everything, from private thoughts, secret or hidden events, to jumping betweens time. However, the narrator does not tell the reader or viewer everything, until it has a great affect on the story. This is used throughout the story, and the story line can change whenever. For example, if i am a omniscient narrator, i would be able to tell you what every single character is thinking, their actions, and their consequences. You will be able to know whatever they think & do. An example of this is: Bob is angry, because Tom broke his favorite toy. Bob thought, "I will repay Tom for what he has done". He devised a plan that included destroying all of Tom's toys. In the dead of night, when all others are sleeping, Bob went to Tom's house, and bashed and scattered his toys around. The next day, when Tom awoke, he screamed. His parents came and called the police.... etc etc

This showed that even though the other people in the story did not know who did it (yet) or what his thoughts were that led to his actions, the reader him/her self knew what was going on.

hope this helps
