Although she used all elements of ethos‚ pathos‚ and logos methods of appeal‚ her most prevelent method used was pathos.

Out of many prominent speeches throughout recent and non-recent history‚ the speech by Martin Luther King Jr.‚ “I Have a Dream” is indubitably the most enthralling‚ gripping‚ and well written. This speech and all of its entirety are solely based on the idea that all human beings living in the United States should have the prerogative to be treated as equals‚ regardless of their race/ the color of their skin‚ their religion‚ or other associations that one might have with a group of people.
