Repetition In Speech By Elie Wiesel And Martin Luther King Jr.

288 Words2 Pages
Elie Wiesel and Martin Luther King Jr. both use imagery and repetition in their speeches to convey the idea of segregation and help the readers understand the timeline of both events. Repetition is when the author repeats either a word or statement more than once so that readers will remember the idea in their heads. Wiesel uses repetition to tell us about the horrible things he remembers by using the words “I remember …”. Saying this over and over again helps us to understand and realize what was happening to the Jews. He remembers “his anguish”, talking about Hitler’s severe mental pain and issues. I have observed that King uses repetition back to back to really ingrain the fact that all people deserve freedom, no matter their color or race.
