I Have a Dream



Yo tengo un sueño (I Have a Dream) es el nombre del popular discurso más famoso de Martin Luther King Jr., cuando habló poderosa y elocuentemente de su deseo de un futuro en el cual la gente de tez negra y blanca pudiesen coexistir armoniosamente y como iguales. Este discurso, pronunciado el 28 de agosto de 1963 desde las escalinatas del Monumento a Lincoln durante la Marcha en Washington por el trabajo y la libertad, fue un momento definitorio en el Movimiento por los Derechos Civiles en Estados Unidos. Está considerado frecuentemente como uno de los mejores discursos de la historia, y quedó en el primer puesto entre los discursos del siglo XX según los estudiosos de la retórica. Ampliamente aclamado como una pieza maestra de la retórica, el discurso de King se asemeja al estilo del sermón de un ministro bautista negro. Apela a fuentes icónicas y ampliamente respetadas como la Biblia, e invoca la Declaración de Independencia de los Estados Unidos, la Proclamación de Emancipación, y la Constitución de los Estados Unidos. A través del instrumento retórico de la alusión(definido por Campbell y Huxman (2003) como "referencia indirecta a nuestro acervo cultural compartido, como la Biblia, lamitología griega y romana, o nuestra historia"), King hace uso de frases y lenguaje de importantes textos culturales para sus propios propósitos retóricos. Cerca del comienzo King alude al Discurso de Gettysburg de Lincoln diciendo: "Five score years ago..." una particular forma de decir "cien años" en inglés (pues score son 20 años y 20 x 5 = 100).
Las alusiones bíblicas también son comunes. Por ejemplo, King alude al Salmo 30:5 en la segunda estrofa de su discurso. Dice en referencia a la abolición de la esclavitud articulada por la Proclamación de Emancipación, "llegó como un precioso amanecer para terminar una larga noche de cautiverio." Otra alusión bíblica es encontrada en la décima estrofa: "No, no; no estamos satisfechos y no quedaremos satisfechos hasta que "la justicia ruede como el agua y la rectitud como una poderosa corriente." Esta es una alusión a Amós 5:24. King también cita de Isaías 40:4 -"Sueño que algún día los valles serán cumbres..."
La formación religiosa del orador se percibe claramente ya que utiliza tres veces la expresión "hijos de Dios", habla de que "la gloria de Dios será revelada, y se unirá todo el género humano", da ánimo a su gente diciéndoles un mensaje cristiano "Continúen trabajando con la convicción de que el sufrimiento que no es merecido, es emancipador" y cerrando el discurso con ""¡Libres al fin! ¡Libres al fin! Gracias a Dios omnipotente, ¡somos libres al fin!".

Paralelismo, o "usar la misma fraseología inicial en una secuencia de afirmaciones o frases para agregar énfasis, orden, o clímax a una idea" (Campbell & Huxman, 2002, p. 177), es una herramienta retórica empleada a través de todo el discurso. Un ejemplo de paralelismo es encontrado casi al principio cuando King insta a su público a aprovechar el momento "Ahora es el momento..." es repetido cuatro veces en la sexta estrofa. El ejemplo más citado de paralelismo es encontrando en la frase "Yo tengo un sueño..." que es repetida ocho veces cuando King describe a su audiencia una imagen de un Estados Unidos de Américaintegrado y unido.

Rules for adding -ed to regular English verbs

Past simple: Rules for adding -ed to regular English verbs






















To be in the simple past of regular verbs in English, we need to add -ed to the infinitive without to. To this end we will consider the following rules:

1. Overall add -ed to all regular verbs.
    wash washed finish → → → finished talk Talked

2. verbs ending in -e, just add a -d.
    live like → → lived liked

3. verbs ending in consonant + -y, change the "y" to "i" and add -ed (= -ied)
    Studied carry study → → → Carried try tried

4. The verbs that end in a vowel + -and added -ed.
    play → played

Special cases

The verbs that end in a vowel + consonant (stop, ban, Occur, open, offer ...)

a) if the accent falls on the vowel of the last syllable, it bends
     stop stopped → → plan → planned ban banned Occur → occurred

Except verbs ending in "y" and "w"
    → play → played show Showed

b) If the accent does not fall on the vowel of the last syllable, it does not bend.
    Offered open offer → → opened
    
Except verbs ending in "l" folding "l" although the accent falls not spare the last syllable.
Travelled cancel travel → → canceled

Care!
Verbs of one syllable with two vowels do not double the consonant.
 → cook cooked
