             Martin Luther King effectively uses repetition in his ''I have a dream speech'' to emphasize concepts and ideas and to gain the audiences attention in his hope for equality. For instance, King consistently states ''Now is the time..... Now is the time .... Now is the time''. King does this to make his point clear.
