To be an effective speaker, you should use language vividly and use rhythm to enhance the vividness of your discourse. The use of vivid language and rhythm is also important to writers and performers.

1) View Dr. Martin Luther King’s I Have a Dream speech. Discuss and provide examples of his use of metaphor, simile, parellelism, repetition, alliteration, and antithesis.

2) Think about some of your favorite songs, poems, books, or quotes from public speeches, TV, or movies. Post examples of at least two of the following stylistic devices: metaphor, simile, parallelism, repetition, alliteration, or antithesis. Make sure to attribute the lyrics or quote to the writer and/or speaker, singer, etc.

3) Create your own metaphor or simile for a word or concept of your choice OR for one of the following: Love, Hate, Friendship, Grief, Pride, Anxiety.
