![]() ![]() The repeated word “dream” points to King’s purpose of his speech to illustrate his dream further and create unity. King’s choice of diction here, makes his speech persuasive. In the first three paragraphs King paints an image of what his dream looks like and in the last two paragraphs, expresses how to act on this dream to make it meaningful. This specific phrase “I have a dream” is also persuasive, as a dream is motivational, but it is only meaningful unless acted upon which is exactly what King demonstrates throughout his speech. They are more aware of what is coming next and are more receptive to the emotion of solidarity that King is trying to get across. King’s listeners can predict the next line and thus persuades the audience by drawing them into his words through a sense of participation.

Intermingled among images of that key moment, the main character narrates scraps of her young adult life, creating connection s between exile, family and her development of individual and sexual identity.Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” address falls under the broad genre of non-fiction persuasive prose in the form of a speech. ![]() The family of the main character had joined the political-economic flight from socialist Cuba.

The close study of this narrative discloses a queering element that waves through the entire family history,a pre-existing grain of sand that annoys and finally allows the formation of the pearl.

The expression of violence designed to strengthen the status quo or the conservative straight states are very common in the real-life situation and are included in the Obejas narrative. A person only has to look at who is blocking whom from inclusion to get a clear alignment of the dominant hierarchies, whether political or male-controlled as well as heterosexist.
