Another device used is particular to the Greek dualism favoured by the West, that of a range of illustrations based on opposites (set out in Figure 2.5, below). Figure 2.5: illustrations based on opposites Several devices carry the message of this speech, for example: • the emotive, poetic language; • the imagery of the opposites; • the image of the cheque and the fraud. All these build up to stating the core argument: that the emancipation agreement and the Declaration of Independence assured all Americans that they had rights that could never be taken away. Negroes had asked for those rights and had not been given them. America had unjustifiably denied these rights. This is a forceful argument made far more immediately forceful and poignant by the use of the poetic and emotive, passionate language. People may acknowledge the logic of an argument without agreeing to concede to demands. Persuasion can therefore be an essential device to encourage people to move from concept to action.

ABSTRACT
Several devices carry the message of this speech, for example: • the emotive, poetic language; • the imagery of the opposites; • the image of the cheque and the fraud. All these build up to stating the core argument: that the emancipation agreement and the Declaration of Independence assured all Americans that they had rights that could never be taken away. Negroes had asked for those rights and had not been given them. America had unjustifiably denied these rights.
