I Have A Dream Analysis

-
    The I Have A Dream speech contains a number of rhetorical devices. Through the use of these writings, he was able to break through to the minds of many people and give a new outlook. Three devices he used that were important are metaphor, repetition, and antithesis.         Dr. King effectively uses metaphor throughout his speech. on page 1 line 7, he states "... millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.
