RHETORIC

According to Aristotle, a good speech moves an audience where a speaker wants it to go. What is a good speech? For me, a good speech should have the idea and the results. Style is not so important compare to them. A speech is like a conversation to the audience where one can see the reaction of the audience, whether they are moved by your speech, or whether they feel bored after hearing your speech.A speech could be a literature. One of the example will be ‘I Have a Dream’ by Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King has used a lot of metaphor in the speech. For example, bank of justice is bankrupt may refer to there is no justice for the nations in the country. Besides that he also uses contrast words as to show the injustice and the need to have equal rights. For instance, light of hope is contrasted with flames of withering injustice and a joyous of daybreak is contrasted with the long night of captivity.
