On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. led a march on Washington, D.C. The speech he gave that day is one of the best known in American history. When people remember the “I Have a Dream” speech, as it has come to be known, they recall King’s message about civil rights. But perhaps the reason it is so memorable is because King was a master of literary and rhetorical devices. His word choice matched the strength of his message.
This lesson plan allows students to review literary terms, rhetorical devices and figurative language with a scavenger hunt through “I Have a Dream” speech. Then you can have students discuss or write about the speech using the literary terminology. This lesson can be modified to work well for everyone from students just learning about metaphor for the first time to AP students reviewing for their upcoming exams.
According to Emerson, the difference in the way children and adults view nature is that adults tend to view nature in a superficial manner while children tend to genuinely admire nature. This is confirmed in these words: "The lover of nature is he who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood."

The statement best describes the rhyme schemes of "To My Dear Loving Husband" and "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty" is option b. Both poets use couplets for rhyme scheme and structure, inverting sentences when needed to maintain the rhyme. In poetry, a couplet is a pair of successive lines of meter that rhyme and have the same meter. The author uses this literary technique to call the reader's attention.
Verbal irony is the use of words to mean something different from what a person actually says.The main feature of verbal irony that sets it apart from the other different types of irony is that it is used by a speaker intentionally. It occurs in a conversation where a person aims to be understood as meaning something different to what his or her words literally mean.
Examples of verbal irony include:
“Thanks for the ticket officer you just made my day!”
“I can’t wait to read the seven hundred page report.”
The above examples show how irony is used to show someone’s frustration or disappointment.
THIS IS THE MOST DETECTABLE FORM OF IRONY.
SITUATIONAL IRONY
It involves a discrepancy between what is expected to happen and what actually happens.
Situational irony occurs when the exact opposite of what is meant to happen, happens.
An example would be when someone buys a gun to protect himself, but the same gun is used by another individual to injure him. One would expect that the gun would keep him safe, but it has actually caused him injury.
There is however a difference between situational irony and coincidence or bad luck.
When someone washes his car and it rains, that is just bad luck; nothing led him or her to think that it would not rain. However, when a TV weather presenter gets caught in an unexpected storm, it is ironic because he or she is expected to know the exact weather changes.
For situational irony to occur there has to be something that leads a person to think that a particular event or situation is unlikely happen.
