Below is an excerpt from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. What sort of tone would you use if you were to read

his speech out loud? Why would you use that tone?
"I Have a Dream" Speech (excerpt)
Aug. 28, 1963

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

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 captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an shameful condition.

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

Read the passage from Beowulf. "They marched in step, hurrying on till the timbered hall rose before them, radiant with gold. Nobody on earth knew of another building like it. Majesty lodged there, its light shone over many lands."

Which feature of Old English poetry did this modern translation maintain?

alliteration

full lines

rhyme

short pauses

Answer: alliteration

Explanation:

Alliteration refers to the presence of the same letter or sound, at the beginning of either adjacent or words that are near to each other.

Alliteration used to be the main required structure in Old English poetry.

In this case, alliteration is used in the "till the timbered" line, because all adjacent words start with the letter 't'.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The Nights by Avicii takes me out of this world. I listen to that song and my mood for the day changes, it re-calibrates my mental coordination and there is just something about the lyrics! He explicitly sang about how his dad always told him that one day, he would leave the life he loved so much to somewhere else and how he must live a great life to be remembered. What stronger lyric does one seek to facilitate immense focus.

Whenever I feel like I have achieved too much and was getting proud, I play that song and it humbles me at an instant. Avicii said 'your wild life will live for younger days, think of me if you are ever afraid', that lyrical content sends chills down my spine. I thought within myself, how do these guys come up with such original content? A perfect work of Art and Music fused into one I must say.

On the other hand, there is some other tune that gets under my skin and that is African Queen by a Nigerian singer 2-face. He sheds light on the pureness and beauty of the African Woman, he virtuousness, her originality, and her desire to love unconditionally. He outed; 'just like the sun, you light up the earth, you light up my life, the only one, I've ever seen with a smile so bright'! Tell me those words do not hit you hard! I love everything that has to do with love and this songs makes me appreciate women more. These two songs will forever be my favorites!
