Identify two examples of parallelism in the “I Have a Dream” speech.
1) "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'" In this example, the parallelism is seen in the repetition of "I have a dream" and "that one day," emphasizing the speaker's vision for a future of equality.
2) "We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence." Here, parallelism is used to highlight the contrast between "dignity and discipline" and "physical violence," stressing the importance of nonviolent protest.
