Quiz-King and Miller

1. According to Miller, King's speech is animated by the "typological epistemology" characteristic of "black folk preaching." In this typological epistemology, the events of the Bible are closely identified with events in the present time, so much so that preachers can speak authoritatitively about current events based on their correspondence to events in the Bible.

1. Yet this epistemology endorses other linkages between the present and the biblical past. Specifically, in superimposing the present on the biblical past, this epistemology authorizes two rhetorical techniques. Name these two techniques, and, for each, describe what from the present is merging with the biblical past.

2. What instances of these rhetorical techniques does Miller find in King's "I Have a Dream" speech? (Remember, rhetorical analysis only works if you can find patterns. A pattern is a pattern only if it recurs. As such, prove that this pattern recurs by citing multiple examples from King's speech).

3. At the end of his speech, what two songs does King foresee "all of God's children" singing together? What is the significance of King's conjunction of these songs and singers? (Hint: What are the cultural associations of the two songs? What "tradition" does the first reflect? What are the cultural associations of the second? Given that the songs and singers are joining, what does King foresee for the nation itself?)

4. As well, the singers joining their voices together accounts for yet another instance of the two techniques you described in question one of this quiz. Explain how this is so.
