No Christian wants to be seen as a sinner so by telling them that it is God’s will for people to live with equality he adds validity to his point. By using biblical references like “and the crooked place will be made straight” he appeals to a Christian audience. King’s use of allusion to the Bible, a patriotic song, and the Declaration of Independence are used to appeal to each person’s sense of moral obligation to uphold equality. The use of allusion and exposition aid in the overall effectiveness of his piece. This speech was written with the intention of persuade all Americans that all people are created equal under God and the law. One of the most well known pieces of oratory of all time is Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
