I Have A Dream Ethos Pathos Logos

If you mention the famous speeches, there is one famous speech you have to mention---it is I have a dream. "I have a dream" (I have a dream) is a very famous Martin Luther King speech published in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington in August 28, 1963. Martin Luther King, a famous person in the world. He is the African American civil rights leader, 1929 January 15, was born in the city of Atlanta, Georgia a black family, he very speaking ability, and is the author of many books, the idea of the 1960s African American civil rights movement produced a significant impact, but unfortunately, he was assassinated at the age of 39 in the hotel.( Martin Luther King) At that time, there existed a big problem about racial discrimination, which

is white people look down on black people. Therefore, he wants to change the situation, to give blacks equal rights by new laws. His speech is to put their views on the future of the black with passionate language told the gathered audience, in order to give the American blacks for human rights.

Thus, you can easily think out that its main content is black ethnic equality and it expressed the black people desired for their rights of freedom and equality by dreams. Also, it has great influence on the United States and even the world. The other thing I would like to say is that Martin Luther King used many kinds of ethos, pathos, and logos to make “I have a dream” prefect and attract audiences.
His speech can be divided into three parts. The first part is the review and that President Lincoln signed the "Emancipation Proclamation" of great significance. The second part is to reveal the status of black life, slated the dark side of society, put forward their legitimate demands. The third part is the description of dreams, in the future, for each freedom ring from the United States. In the first paragraph, he said Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Next paragraph, he said But one hundred years later… He used logos in these two sections. These two sections through

exactly time contrast reflects the issue of racial discrimination is a serious social problem in such long history. As we all know, one hundred years is a long time, even most of the people cannot live so long time. However, this problem had been there for such a long time, it might influence three generations. In the second paragraph, he reused one hundred years later three times by pathos to emphasize even one hundred years have passed, however, this problem still has not been solved. This once again expressed the seriousness of this historical problem. At the same time, it again expressed the unfair between the white and the black. In the third paragraph, he said This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men to emphasize this note include black men and people whatever his skin is white or black is equal on law. This expressed the unfair phenomena the black faced on the contrary side. Also, this expressed the black were not treated equally and they desired to be treated equally and made friends with the white. The fourth paragraph he said And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. He used the technique of metaphor, vivid expression of the irony of government. From this sentence, we can analysis that what cased this problem is not only the white people look down on the black people, the more important reason is government. In the thirteenth paragraph, he asked “When will you be satisfied?” This sentence was spoken by asking the question to make people think about their lives. And then he used We can never be satisfied as long as many times by answering his own question to emphasized that black people have the same right as white people, and it was unfair for black people had little right. Thus, he responded all black people to express that only they had the same rights as white people they will be satisfied. Also, these repeated word not only expressed the black desired to have the same rights, but also these can make people feel powerful and read rhythmic.
Then from the seventeenth paragraph to twenty-fourth paragraph, he used I have a dream that many times.

He used pathos to express his feelings. He strongly expressed the desire to dream by repeating. This also expressed the theme that he responds black people to express the dream they want to have the same right as white people. Then, in twenty-fifth paragraph, he said This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with to translate the hope to the faith, and at the same time told them why he came here to have this speech. Then, he reminded freedom by a song to call people to know how important the freedom is! Next, in the same way, he used let freedom ring from many times to express black people should have freedom, they should not be slaves or people who have no power in the city. Also, he expressed that white people and black people can be friends because everyone should be equal in the world. At last, he said Free at last! Free at last! to emphasize free is important for black people, and they hope to be free in the future. Also, he said Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! to show they will be free in the future. This section is the prospect of the end and depicted as the sea diving, Eagles cleaved the sky. The author hopes his own imagination, the good vision of the future in every dream. These beautiful dream affable and full of inspiration, as delicate, yearning, climax of incisively and vividly, the expression of the

author of the infinite vision of a better future. He replaced the black out of their demanding democracy and freedom in the heart, and put a speech to a climax, is also a time to mobilize the audience's feelings just perfect. The images of his language are extraordinary, such as rainbow, intentions in the speech, is calling for life in this speech. At the end of the old Negro spiritual, enhanced speech image and appeal.
This speech was very important at that time because it evoked black people consciousness of freedom and equality. According to this speech, he used pathos and logos to respond black people expressed what they wanted and what they had been submitted. This speech at that time in the United States had a great response, so that more people of insight genuine concern for black from the unjust treatment. The speech become the voice of justice, evokes a more love of freedom, love justice, love equality of people as for ethnic equality and fought struggle. The speech to make the American government's consciousness to, the power of the people is not inconsiderable. It enables the U.S. government to speed up the right to achieve Lincoln promised to give black. Thus, the reason why this speech is one of the most famous speeches in the world is not only because its influence at that time, but also because it has many kind of ethos, pathos and logos.
