The introduction of the speech starts with a statement will go down in history as the

greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. additionally it reminds
of an event 100 years ago that was crucial for black people volt Five score years ago, a
great American,. signed the Emancipation Proclamation So he paralells and enhances
the present events./Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation/
Its purpose is to make attendance,he itemizes what has not happened :
a)One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of
segregation and the chains of discrimination.
b)One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a
vast ocean of material prosperity.
c) One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American
society and finds himself an exile in his own land.

And it continues with real message of the speech: we've come here today to dramatize a
shameful condition.

Here comes one of the main parts of the speech that simultaneously shows Martin Luther
Kings rethorical artifice: he uses the synonymous words to underline and to submit a bill for
the government to cash a check,unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness. America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come
back marked "insufficient funds."

From here the speech transforms to a political,activating speech. Its style is brief, simple and
single-minded, because it tolls for the people. It is picturesque, the listener feels to warm the
present. In the next sentences he describes how he imagines the realization of democracy

Now

is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from
the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the
time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of
brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

He calls for a peaceful,stately,dismayed struggle . We must not allow our creative protest
to degenerate into physical violence Let us not wallow in the valley of despair

The pitch of the speech I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American
dream.features not only the dream of black people, it also calls all american.
The ending differs from the brief simpliness of introduction, it is characterised by the
usage of courtly, solemn and hyperbolist words. It contain cumulated clauses and
specifications instead of synonymous words.every village and every hamlet, from every
state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,
black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics

Some biblical qutes can be found:

Amos 5:24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
Isaiah 40:4-5 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low:
and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain.
M.L.K. makes more subtle references to at least two other Bible passages as well.

Psalm 30:5weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
Galatians 3:28There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and
female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
The speech affects simultanously the senses and the emotions, its even objective and
subjective. He also came from black people, lived their oppressed situation,and also hopes for
a better future together with the others.
At the end of the speech the hopeful future arrives.
