Martin Luther King/ I have a dream

 
Martin Luther King is stating his belief and  demanding that all the African American's receive full citizen rights and are treaeted like an equal to whites. " if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges".-(Martin Luther King)

He's style of speech is Pathos because he is sharing his beliefs on the Unfair treatment of African Americans. He is also using a bit of Logos because he is explaining how words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence had made promises to all americans that  guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness to all men white and black.


 He's using repetition to engage the Audience this is the paragraph in which-But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. 

He is explaining the history of negros and then moving to america the negro is still under enslavement. Also very recent history for the time it was spoken about the signing of the constitutional rights. And how they did not

Yes this speech definitely would be effective on the audience.
