Lines 33–40: In analyzing King’s use of anaphora, Euchner himself uses this rhetorical device. In which lines does Euchner use anaphora? Right away, King uses anaphora, the repetition of key words
and phrases at the beginning of successive statements. Repetition
brings the listener back to a familiar place, then connects to a
new thought or image. Repetition keeps the audience involved.
Repetition makes it easy to remember the words and to get into a
rhythm, as they become familiar. Repetition invites the call and
response in black churches across the South. Yeah! Uh-huh! Amen!
That's right!
After recalling the story of Lincoln freeing the slaves, with the
simple stroke of a pen in the middle of a bloody war, King laments
the inferior position of blacks a century later. Each mournful
repetition deepens the pain, raises the dramatic tension. Each
repetition condemns the oppressor. The oration becomes poetry:

" we wear our fingers rough with handling them. oh, just another kind of out-door game, one on a side. it comes to little more: there where it is we do not need the wall: he is all pine and i am apple orchard. my apple trees will never get across and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him. he only says, “good fences make good neighbors." spring is the mischief in me, and i wonder if i could put a notion in his head: "why do they make good neighbors? isn't it where there are cows? but here there are no cows. before i built a wall i'd ask to know what i was walling in or walling out, and to whom i was like to give offence. . " a. the human desire for material gain b. the influence of financial constraints c. the positive effects of friendship d. the uncertain nature of human relations e. the futility of human yearning
