King presented his speech to thousands of Americans who had congregated in Washington DC for a political rally which they referred to as the March. They marched on the streets of the nation’s capital‚ advocating for freedom and equal treatment in jobs. With a vast knowledge of the blacks’ history‚ King inspired an empowering determination in his argument. He came armed with the constitution and the nation’s

behind a desk‚ with hands clasped in front of him he began his speech. Known throughout the country as the man who took eighteen thousand dollars for personal gain he seemed nervous at first. Who would not be nervous standing up to entire country? As the speech progresses he becomes more confident. Looking less and less at his notes‚ unless it it to cite or bring up a fact‚ he gains confidence that carries him throughout the rest of the speech.

My favorite image that Martin Luther King Jr. used in his speech is “one day even the state of Mississippi‚ a desert state‚ sweltering in the heat of injustice and oppression‚ will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.” I like this one because Mississippi was a horrible state that threatened African Americans‚ but King gave the people hope that even states like that can change. “One hundred years later” is the repetition that I find the most captivating to me. I love this repetition

Not only that but martin also showed a very determined and helpful spirit‚ but how can we tell that this was a part of his personality‚ well in his speech it shows his personality and his beliefs best.

He expresses this when he says "We come to mourn the dead... Their souls speak to us. They ask us to look inward‚ to tkae stock of who we are and what we might become." He acknowledges the horrific event in the beggining paragraphs of the speech. Toward the body of the speech‚ the President moves more toward

I think Gutman is quite rational during his speech because the main body of his speech is reasoning and his emotional language is not heavy. He showed his humor several times to attract his audience in a moderate way. For example‚ he made a joke of American President Obama’s picture and finished it quickly to continue presenting other research results. The middle part of his speech is not quite relevant to his claim that smile can make people embrace a longer‚ happier and healthier life. In that
