His speech was extremely persuasive in nature. The use of Biblical references was powerful. One of those powerful references included “Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?” (1) This quickly appealed to the audience’s faith. During this time period individuals took their faith and religious beliefs very seriously. With Henry appealing to something like faith that the audience members held so dearly he was able to not only capture their attention, but keep their attention and ultimately persuaded them to his sentiments.
MLK included biblical passages and references so these people could see where their morals and values lay – ‘glory of the Lord’. He also alludes to The Gettysburg Address, and the US Declaration of Independence – ‘black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. – also a triadic formation. When doing the speech, Martin Luther King had an extremely strongly powered voice, and an extremely strong persuasive voice, but behind his voice he needed words, powerful and persuasive words to make his speech convincing and memorable. Throughout the speech, he used many techniques that make this speech so iconic.
His delivery had us in praise and very much in worshipped. He concluded with a spiritual that expressed his sermon. The song was called “He’s An on Time God” which states “He may not come when you want him, but he’ll be there right on time, He’s an on time god, yes he is” which added more spirit and praise since it was the topic of discussion. In summary, this sermon was one that added spark to the room and to those of the audience.

He was faced with several challenges and obstacles that could have steered him away from God, but Lewis rose above each one and touched numerous people in the process. Because of him, countless individuals have been introduced to Christianity. It wasn’t his writings alone, however, that sparked the faith in these people.
One of the features of this theory is that it typically perceives communication as taking place most effectively when the power is most evenly distributed between the source and the recipient.

Pericles continues, discussing Athenian attitude towards military security, the educational system, the city’s bravery, and its relationship with other nations. His speech can do nothing but make any citizen proud to live in Athens. There is no parallel speech about the War on Terror, but President George W. Bush’s speech from atop the rubble of the World Trade Center may have resonated with some people in a similar way to Pericles’ speech. Pericles’ funeral oration, however, has passed the test of time and remains one of the most inspiring speeches of
