Question

1. Read each sentence from Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Mark the elements that are parallel. Then, note what type of parallel structure is being used-words, phrases, or clauses. a. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Parallelism involves using similar structures for two or more parts of a sentence or sentences to create a comparison or pattern. One example in the "I Have a Dream Speech" is the four sentences that begin "one hundred years later" in the third paragraph to discuss all the ways in which African-Americans are still not free. Within one of these sentences that reads "One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination," King also uses parallelism. The phrases "manacles of segregation" and "chains of discrimination" are in parallel form, as they are three-word phrases with a noun, the word "of," and another noun.
