In his “I Have a Dream Speech,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. uses allusions, repetition, and extended metaphors to communicate his tone of anger and impatience with the injustices inflicted on African-Americans in the United States during the 1960s.
Example of response for C/E: (Cite Evidence/Elaborate)
Example:  In Othello, Act 3, Scene 3, page 8, Iago uses a metaphor in comparing jealousy to a “green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.”   This phrase describes the destructive nature of jealousy for a man who suspects his wife might be cheating on him.
Example: The use of the metaphor in this section contributes to the tone of the story. Shakespeare is using Iago’s character to communicate his warning of the dangers of jealousy and suspicion in love.
