*Analyzing Martin Luther King Jr's: "I Have a Dream" Speech…
-
First Paragraph: Introduced his speech by citing the Emancipation Proclamation which encapsulates the idea of justice and freedom among Negros in the United States.
Second to Fifth Paragraph: Discussed the irony of what was promised from reality during that time. He cited different scenarios happening in the country which talked about the ostracizing of Negros. In addition, he used different comparisons (such as to a bank) to further support his case on freedom and injustice. To conclude these aforementioned situations, he declared that it was time for change -- the promise of democracy.
Sixth to Ninth: Focused on proclaiming the need for change specifically saying that today marked not the end, but the beginning. He stated what would happen if Negros were still continually being bullied by their skin color and how they would retaliate. Although they might express their anger and plea towards the rightful freedom and justice they deserve, they would still like to have equal respect with the upperclass; the white-skinned.
Last Paragraphs: Further expounded on what he believed in and what his ideals were. Proclaimed his feelings and his 'dream' on racial justice. Through this, he empowered the black people who were there on that day to fight for their rights as both an individual with human rights and as a free black American.
Thesis Statement: The text discusses the words that Martin Luther King Jr said in order to empower black people all around the world to fight for their rights as to stop racial discrimination and injustice, during August 28, 1963 in Washington D.C.
