Answer:

The rhetoric technique that Martin Luther King uses repeatedly in the above text is the use of similes and the use of figurative language.

Explanation:

Similes are speech techniques that use the comparison of two variables interestingly.

Figurative language is the use of a word to mean differently to its custom meaning.

<em>Martin Luther King uses Socrates and Jesus figuratively to explain his ideas, since, they are not part of his topic, but have similar traits as the situation he is trying to explain, this is an example of figurative language in the above excerpt.</em>

Martin Luther in this excerpt uses similes multiple times to bring out his points.

Some of the instances where he uses similes are;

  1. Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical  inquiries
  2. Isn't this  like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God's will  precipitated the evil act of crucifixion?

This questions help him explain his point, it also makes the people understand his point out of the comparison of what they know to what they do not know.
