Discussion Prompt: Using Language Creatively to Persuade After watching Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech,” (see this session’s video viewing), identify several of the stylistic devices King uses in his presentation. Some examples would include King’s use of metaphors, similes, alliteration, repetition, parallelism and personification. Which stylistic device do you think is most effective? Why?
