I Have a Dream

I Have a Dream by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 

...

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."

King delivering his I Have a Dream speech

Martin Luther King Jr. once gave a speech to propose equality and put an end to racism in United States. His famous "I Have a Dream" speech has influenced many people's lives and it really changed how the society acts towards different ethnicity. It gives a wondrous impact through the use of several techniques that King used within his speech. The one that is seen to be the climax of the speech is when he used anaphora to exclaim his dreams. According to dictionary.com, anaphora is a "repetition of a word or words at the beginning of two or more successive verses, clauses, or sentences". Because of this, prior to the previous discussion with Alice, we also have our own dreams that I think is perfect for us to use on our personal speech.

I have a dream that one day, people will see others that just merely based on their skin tones or on how they look from the outside, but, rather not judge a book by its cover.

I have a dream that one day, the creatures in Wonderland will understand each other, especially me in particular, and know that inside of their beloved savior's heart, she is still that scared little girl.

I have a dream that one day, people will understand that harsh words coming from their tongues are sharper than a sword that can even kill one's heart

I have a dream that I can actually make people happy without even trying to, but solely based on what my heart wants me to do

I have a dream today!

I really hope that one day people can realize these dreams me and Alice have. There may be some benefits from doing stereotypes, but there's none from discriminating others. The one who discriminate will surely commit a sin, and the victim will surely have a broken heart that may need a long time to heal. Therefore, before saying something, it's better for you to think, reflect, then say. You may not know that some words you say can actually hurt others, because words are stronger than you know, "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12 NIV).
