Thank you for this. As a struggling songwriter, I’m going to consider the devices (and message) Dr. King used.

4:26 - Persuasive skills - A lot of repetition of the word dream throughout the speech - Symbolic language paints an image that resonates with the audience 6:05 - Example of symbolic language - Inclusive language, making the audience feel as though the dream is shared between all - Good balance between realism and optimism - Many widely understood allusions (e.g bible, constitution, American ideals etc...) - Strategic and skilful use of pauses to let his message sink in - Memorable phrases (anaphora) - e.g "Let freedom ring" " "100 years later) and more - It was good call to action (go back to Mississippi and demand your rights)
