Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. are both famous for their one of a kind speeches.  Their speeches, “I Have a Dream” and “Gettysburg Address”, are the similar and indifferent at different points throughout the speeches. Although, the rhetorical situation is the same throughout. They both want to end racism, and they both want a better well-structured government. They want unity throughout our nation. Though they may want the same thing, they had different styles of how they wrote their speeches. The time they wrote their speeches was also a contrast. Lincoln wrote his in 1863, right after the Civil War, King wrote his in 1963, almost a century after. Lincoln and King both had similarities and differences in their speeches. Lincoln and King both wanted unity and to be a whole nation. They wanted the North and the South to become one whole. In Lincoln’s speech, he uses the word “we” a lot, referring to the country as one. Looking farther, both speakers used personification to deliver a part of their message. In one part of Lincoln’s speech, he uses the term “shall have a new birth of freedom.” He’s originally saying that we will have new freedoms. That we will have a new nation, to start over with. Also, “I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight.” King is saying that everything will be equal to everyone and everything. One difference I noticed throughout reading these, was the style they each used. Lincoln uses small words and phrases to relate to his audience, while King uses big words and his tone is serious and wanting and demanding, to get his audience to know how important and serious this is to him. Lincoln’s tone while he is speaking more peaceful and calming, but King puts passion behind his words. He is forceful with his words. Even though they both have different styles of speaking and writing, they both have the same overall meaning to their words.  Also, looking into the lengths of their speeches, the Gettysburg Address is relatively short, barely reaching the three-minute mark. On the other hand,  “I Have a Dream” is close to 17-minutes long. KIng went into detail with his speech, wanting to make people realize how important this was to him and others. While Lincoln told his speech short and it was straight to the point. All in all, Lincoln and King, i have noted, have had the same message throughout their speeches. They both have their individual way of relaying that message, but they got it through to the people. Lincoln and King had different styles that appeared to the audience.
