Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream”  speech was a famous and powerful speech directed towards not only his fellow black community or as he puts it “brothers and sisters” but also towards the white community, the people in the South, including Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana which were considered the main places where segregation is most common. The one rhetorical feature that interest me the most was his use of metaphor in the quote “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). This interests me because of the way he says it gives me a good understanding of what he hopes to see for the future of all the black/colored community. It means that one day black and white people will be equal instead of separated, and will come to understand each other in order to live in peace.
