Read the first 3 paragraphs of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech and answer the
questions that follow:
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in
the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the
Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of
Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end
the long night of their captivity.
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. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
10. In paragraph 3, the phrase “one hundred years later” is repeated 4 times. By repeating that phrase,
what idea is Dr. King emphasizing?
11. Find and copy a metaphor Dr. King uses in these paragraphs:
12. What two things are being compared in that metaphor?
13. By using that metaphor, what idea is Dr. King emphasizing? Explain your answer.
