The freedom of slaves King’s speech has been known as a masterpiece of rhetoric. One rhetorical device that King used is repetition. There are many examples that show repetition but the most common example in the speech is “I have a dream” that shows different aspects of King’s vision of rhetorical harmony. As learnt in class, Kairos shows opportunity, time and place. The speech was so powerful because of its kairos. In one of the sections, King repeated the phrase “one hundred years later” This is one of the main Kairos that is used more than once to show that one hundred years after the freedom, Americans still had not shown respect to each other. For instance, Dr.Martin’s speech was very relevant during the civil rights when the United States fought for the rights of African Americans. So the speech had a motivating effect on people at this time than it would have before the civil rights. As a result king had the chance to pass on this message out to people who do not support, and persuade them to change their minds and think about how to make things better. He even used kairos to his advantage by discussing examples of the Emancipation Proclamation. In the speech kings said “drawing attention to the fact that such a long time had passes since there was major fights for slaves rights”, he emphasizes the need of change to save the African Americans. In word of regular assist, throughout the speech, King uses biblical codes. In addition, King is very open in using his own…

Flowers beautify the world and bring joy to those in it. Some people become inspired by flowers and write, sing, and talk about them.

Many of the greats of literature have written about flowers and used them to explore topics and themes that others may not touch upon. The poems “Asphodel, That Greeny…

height for a 16 year old, maybe a little more scrawny and immature. I could feel the dust that my hair was collecting after every five seconds of brushing the dust off. As I walked through the doorway to my right, I realized that this must be the formal dining room. An old, Victorian style table with eight elegant chairs was obviously the focal point of the room, resting on a beautiful green, gold, and red toned carpet. The hardwood flooring around it coordinated flawlessly with the elegant…

The red roses throughout American Beauty represents the desire for love and freedom. Even though red roses are a symbol of love and passion; in American Beauty we get to see that there is a lack of love and compassion for another. The burn ham family has forgotten what love feels like, all the family members are estranged from each other. But throughout American Beauty, we see red roses or the color red, and in those moments its when the character needs love the most. For example, the front yard…

The next morning came it was December 26, 2004 in just a couple of hours we will be laying my dad to rest. We had to be at Corpus Christi Funeral Home at 9am for the viewing. Following around 11am we would go in recession to bury my dad. When we got to the funeral home there were so many people. I saw some of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family. I went inside to see my dad and when I walked into the room it was so quiet there was no noise. He had an American flag laid over the bottom…

redemption occur many times, but especially through the symbols of roses and rosebushes. Hester Prynne, the main sinner, is represented by these roses bushes when she walks out of the jail and a rosebush is flourishing. Through the novel Pearl and Hester are both referred to as “a wild rose-bush” at some point (Hawthorne 46). Unlike her mother, Pearl is not a sinner, but merely a symbol of Hester’s sin. Pearl also is represented by the rosebush outside of the jail, and she is also represented by…

they go. “...hath come from the hand of God, to work in many ways upon her heart, pleads so earnestly, and with such bitterness of spirit, the right to keep her. It was meant for a blessing, for the one blessing of her life” (Hawthorne 105). Pearl was the one thing that Hester had in life no matter what. Joy was brought to Hester by Pearl from time to time and that helped Hester to keep on going in life. Pearl symbolized a rose to Hester. Despite Pearls “wilting” personality she could be…

That was a great time the smell of her peppermint perfume mixed with the rose was a one of a kind scent that I could only smell when she was around. Her roses were always beautiful and as she continued to get sick I would keep tending to the garden and she would sit in a chair outside and watch me and smile as I continued to do the things that she loved to do with me. This reminds me of the story we read in this course “Give me Five More Minutes” written by Christy De’on Miller. My Grandmother…

was a bouquet roses. They were bright yellow and hot pink roses and the edges of the petals were lined with silver glitter. I didn’t have a boyfriend at this time so this was much unexpected. There in the middle of the roses was a cherry red, sparkly envelope with my name written on it in big letters.…
