Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream Speech
Shortly, the speech is energetic effective in a way of persuading people freeing themselves. In our modern life speech which contents phenomenon about fighting for ones own rights are too sensitive among Malaysian. The style and the pattern of a persuasive speech can be the main idea to listen his speech but not the content. It may create negative point of view to fight for justice and human rights among our races. The harmony bind with us together might loose if content of such speech being illustrated widely. So, my idea is autobiographies and speech has to view by the teachers before it is listen by the students.

Loving your Enemies… make them think about what is he going to say next, Perhaps he is waiting for the audience to stop applauding him, or perhaps it is a pause, to make the audience really think hard about what he has just said. They aren't necessarily long pauses, but they are highly effective. A certain sentence in the speech that he makes stand out is this following one…"When will you be satisfied?" "I have a dream" it makes the audience want to know what he is going to say next. It catches the audiences' attention because they simply want to know what this dream of his is. He also says… "We cannot walk alone".
