Notes From Today's Lecture, MLK

     Martin Luther King Jr,  gave a speech about mens and womens rights in front of thousands of Americans. His speech was very powerful and moved a lot of people's mindset about African-Americans and to show that everyone is equal and deserves equal rights. When MLK states 'Exiled in his own land" I was moved. Because what he said was very true and everyone knows it.
     When MLK speaks and how he speaks makes him an amazing speaker. He wanted everyone to have equal rights and live equally amongst each other. He then goes on to say that America will never truly peaceful and complete until everyone is equal, including all African-Americans.
     MLK is also very respected because he doesn't insult anyone in his speech and uses a very high vocabulary as he speaks. He uses phrases and metaphors that he knows the audience will understand and uses this to persuade them to listen and understand what he is saying to them. Everyone has a dream and MLK had a huge one. MLK also makes the government feel bad for what they have done to the African-Americans with pathos. He then uses logos in his speech about how torturing a human being is not logical.
