"I Have A Dream" and "Victory Speech" are two incredibly powerful speeches delivered by two great leaders of the American nation: Martin Luther King and Barack Obama . Both of these discourses are united in the hope of creating a better country and realizing the American dream. The two speeches are an introduction to a change or improvement. Although these discourses are quite similar, their purposes and audiences are different. To begin, King's speech references the American Dream as an extended metaphor for an "underfunded check," which refers to the "promise of (... ) Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" the government has made but not held for all citizens of the United States. It is important to remember that the factors of the promise are also the elements of "a dream deeply rooted in the American dream", so it is evident that King's speech was based on this, as the title of the speech: "I have a dream." Furthermore, the purpose of the check metaphor is for people to understand the promise of the American Dream in terms that all audiences can understand, as well as empathize with the horrible situation of disrespect towards African Americans at the time. Furthermore, in Obama's speech, reference is made to "hope for a better day", individual freedom, the restoration of "prosperity", the promotion of the "cause of peace", and equality among the citizens of the United States. , elements of the past are part of the concept of the American dream. To support the idea of ​​the past, at the end of the speech, Obama states that he wants to "reclaim the American dream". To continue, the purpose of King's speech is to persuade. The purpose is to introduce and explain the anti-segregation movement... middle of the paper... an extraordinarily wonderful vibration, because from the content of the speech one can understand that both leaders have the best intentions to create a better future for their country. It is very important to remember that after all, King is believed to have achieved his dream of equality as racism is no longer a problem in an America, where the president of the United States is African American. Furthermore, Obama is working hard to create a better nation and I am sure that one day he will realize his dream, just like Martin Luther King. As for the speeches, I personally think that Martin Luther King's speech is more effective because it really makes you feel sorry for the horrible things that happened to all those innocent African Americans, it would have really convinced me then, although it must be said Obama's speech is It was very touching and also appealed to the emotions.
