Rhetoric is the art of discovering all available means of persuasion. There are three rhetorical proofs: logos, ethos, pathos, but i will be focusing on pathos. Emotional proof or pathos is the feeling the speech draws from the listeners. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech was filled with all three rhetorical proofs, but to most people around the country or world the resonating factor was pathos. His dream portrayed an outstanding message and outlook on life that people should embrace. It brought tears of joy to some, and anger to others.
