In the passage from "I Have a Dream" highlight the sections where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr references American history to build

his credibility
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation This momentous decree
came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice It came as a joyous
daybreak to end the long night of their captivity
In a sense, we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Consitution and
the Declaration of Independence they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir

Explain how the use of stylistic elements contributes to the meaning of a poem.
RUDIKE [14]
Poets will pay particular attention to the length, placement, and grouping of lines and stanzas. ... Setting those two lines aside gives emphasis to their content, so whatever message is being sent will be given more importance. Another aspect of the structure of poems is the rhythm, which is the beat of the poem

Describe how Wheatley uses figurative language and symbolism to convey her message about God in "An Hymn to the Evening."
Lerok [7]

Answer and explanation:

In her poem "An Hymn to the Evening", author Phillis Wheatley uses the sunset and arrival of spring to "sing" to God - a hymn is a song or a poem dedicated to God. The speaker describes how the exploding beauty of the sunset fills her heart with gratitude. As the night comes, she is thankful to have lived another day, and also thankful for the rest she will have. She will wake up "refined", having spent the night in restful sleep, protected by God.

To convey such beautiful message, Wheatley uses figurative language. We can find metaphor and personification in the poem. A metaphor is a comparison  between two different things. This figurative device does not use words such as "like" or "as", it simply states that thing A is thing B. When the speaker compares our bodies to God's temples, she is employing a metaphor:

So may our breasts with ev'ry virtue glow,

The living temples of our God below!

Personification is a figure of speech in which human characteristics or abilities are attributed to objects or animals. It makes them seem wiser, as if they did something on purpose. In this poem, nature's purpose is most likely to glorify God:

Soon as the sun forsook the eastern main

The pealing thunder shook the heav'nly plain;

[...]

Soft purl the streams, the birds renew their notes,

[...]

Night's leaden sceptre seals my drowsy eyes,

The sun, the stream, the night are not living beings. Literally speaking, they cannot forsake, purl, or carry a sceptre - the sceptre itself is figurative. Personification is thus employed to give them qualities that make them sound capable of intent and reasoning.
