I Have a Dream

Dr Martin Luther king Jr. in his speech “I have a dream”, use Pathos in order to reinforce emotional power to his supportive audience. He compares what was written in the Declaration of Independence five score years ago whit the reality that the Negro lives one hundred years later. He repeated several times “one hundred years later “in order to let the audience know that nothing had change in the life of the Negro since the declaration of independence. Then, he insists in the urgency of change the reality repeating “Now is the time “before saying what must be change. Wisely, he insists in archive this changes meeting physical force with soul force without physical violence, and he claim for this change repeating several time “we can never be satisfied as long as” and mention the problems that black men face. Moreover, he insists in the need for these changes repeating “I have a dream”, and says what he wants for life of black men and society in general. Finally, he again mentions the urgency of these changes with reference to freedom. I think it is a very emotional speech in which Dr Martin Luther king Jr. stresses the need for change through emotional an patriotic words.
