Dear Dr. King

One feature of your speech “I Have A Dream” that i found was the most powerful was your use of repetition throughout the speech, especially in your quotes “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character (pg. 406)…..I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together” (pg. 407). The reason is because it gives insight of how you believe that just because something might not happen, since a dream is basically just a figment of imagination, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.Plus the way you say it makes it clear that people should work hard to make the “dream” come true.

I have also noticed how you use repetition in your letter from “Letter of Birmingham Jail”  by repeating “unjust and just laws” (pg. 3). Although I noticed how you say it in a more stern tone of voice than how you did in your speech, giving more insight of how disappointed you are with the government in how they made laws unfair for colored people, making them feel inferior to white people. I feel that this is important because using a different tone of voice and repetition gives people more of an understanding of your point that the unfairness needs to end.
