Answer 1

Answer: Both speeches had a distinct purpose both also had a distinct one. The tone is very important in every speech that has ever been given. The tone of the speech shows the speaker’s attitude but also how the listeners interpret the message. Abraham Lincoln when he delivered the “Gettysburg Address” used a tone that was somber because it was the dedication of a memorial and burial ground of fallen soldiers.But this speech ended with a quiet tone that the goals he spoke of were reachable and therefore the fallen soldiers would not die in vain. Martin Luther King “I Have a Dream” speech tone was positive and hopeful for the future of freedom for all Americans. His tone also showed a determination by urging and encouraging American’s to stand up so all will have equal rights.Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Junior speeches were written to grab their audience attention. Both of these speeches left a mark in history and their arm was to improve civil rights. During their speeches besides having a purpose and tone they also used figurative language to help keep their audience engaged. Martin Luther King in his speech “I have a Dream” used allusion. An allusion is an expression used to help the audience to remember something without mentioning what really took place.
