Martin Luther King Jr. used parallelism numerously in his speech. For example, he keeps repeating the phrase "We can never be satisfied...". He keep saying this phrase to emphasize the fact African Americans can never be truly satisfied until they had the freedom to make their choices and the rights all Americans our entitled in accordance to our laws. Another example is the phrase "Let freedom ring from...". This show hope and belief that their will be freedom for every man, woman, and child all across America. Dr. King's use of parallelism shows the audience his conviction to the cause and his belief of freedom for everyone.
Dr. King also used pathos throughout his entire speech. An example would be the phrase"We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their adulthood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "For Whites only". This pulls on his audience emotions because most of the parents did not want their kids to go through the same humiliation they did. Furthermore, he goes on to state that "I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations." he then goes on to state some of the trials they went to get there. That caused four emotional reactions pride, for overcoming those trials, anger, for having to go those trials in the first place, guilt, for causing the Blacks to go through such trials, and hope for better future.

Introduction 2017
my name is Faith Harris. I am 17 years of age and my birthday is on January 21, 2000. I like to read, listen to music on YouTube, and hangout with my family and friends. I am currently attending B.C Rain high-school. I am a junior and I am currently taking math, English AP, psychology, and AP history. I plan to become either a chef or a psychiatrist in the future. I think Martin Luther King Jr. achieved his dream of peace and freedom because even-though it is not perfect blacks and white can interact with each-other, women have rights, and people have the freedom to be themselves.
