Discussion Prompt: Using Language Creatively to Persuade After watching Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech,” (see this session’s video viewing), identify several of the stylistic devices King uses in his presentation. Some examples would include King’s use of metaphors, similes, alliteration, repetition, parallelism and personification. Which stylistic device do you think is most effective? Why? No doubt King effectively uses language to persuade and inspire. Scripture also is filled with examples of stylistics devices. What are two or three different types of stylistic devices found in Scripture? How do these devices impact the message? You too are encouraged to integrate stylistics devices in your speech-making. With the topic you selected for your persuasive speech, craft an example of two types of stylistic devices. How might you use them in your presentation?
