Quote: “This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares the justifiable anger of African-Americans to the scorching summer heat and equality and freedom to revitalising autumn.

Quote: “I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares oppression and injustice to the scorching heat and justice and freedom to an oasis.

Quote : “The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares what the Civil Rights movt. will yield if their (Afro-American) demands are not met to that of a swiftly revolving, damaging vertical column of air. He then compares the day when these rights (freedom) are acquired to a “bright day of justice”.

Quote: “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares freedom to a thirst satiating drought and hatred to a cup of resentment.

Quote: “We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares facing the equality struggle with discipline and dignity to ingraining oneself on the “high plain” and the meeting of  “soul force” and "physical force"  to ascending  “majestic heights.

Quote: “With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”

Metaphor: Martin Luther King compares racial inequity to the “jangling discords of our nation” and the accomplishment of equity as a “beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”
