In “I have a dream” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr speaks about how fed up he is about his people getting treated like animals. He dislikes the inequality that are being served by the white people to his people. He wants a change, he wants everybody to be happy and equal. He has a dream that one day that blacks and whites will be equal. It is very interesting that the use of repetition is used as a way to make people open their eyes and see what is really wrong. Dr. King says “I have a dream” to show hopes for the future and to give his people a dream that they can fight for equality. It also demonstrates that the he sees an image in his head of blacks and whites together. He states “little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk down together brothers and sisters”. This is also very powerful because racism was and still is a big issue. Having dreams like this demonstrates that Dr. King wants for blacks his people and whites to be one and live together peacefully. He writes this because he is tired of the racism he wants his audience to feel the same pain he does to make them take a stand and stand upĀ for themselves. Kings argument is to make is people realize that they can no longer live in society that treats them like garbage because they are better than that and live normal lives like the wealthy whiteĀ people.
