Old Major's speech and Martin Luther King's speech "I Have a Dream" Looking for similiarities, differences, use of rhetoric, and how they relate to...

It
would seem strange to me if there are intentional similarities between the two, as
was published in 1945 and King delivered "I Have a Dream" in
1963. If it is agreed that the similarities are rhetorical in nature--a good technique used by
each--then it is possible to analyze similarities etc. The most obvious similarity is that each
relies on , or the repetition of beginning of clauses. For example, King
repeats "We must ..." and "We can ...," while Major repeats "No animal
in England." Most famously, King repeats, with variations:

I have a dream that ...
I have a dream that one day...
I have a dream
today ... 

Both also use strings of repeat ideas
connected by commas:

Go back to Mississippi, go back to
Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our
northern cities .... (King)

He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he
is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough .... ()

What King does that Old Major does not do in the same poetic way is use figurative
speech like the techniques ofand : "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by
drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."
