Question

2. In “I Have a Dream”, what are two specific strategies the speaker uses to get their main point across (repetition, allusion, unity, tone, emphasis, etc.)?

Answer 1

Repetition is a big literary device Martin Luther King Jr. uses in his speech in order to emphasize certain points. For example, his repetition of the phrase “Now is the time...” serves as a call to action for the audience.
King also incorporates personal pronouns like “us” and “we” in his speech in order to build a sense of unity amongst his audience. This unification is important in his speech it because it creates a common cause amongst which people from different backgrounds can come together and fight against.
