* We noted some similarities and differences between the two famous speeches " I have a dream" and "I am prepared to die":

Both “I have a Dream” by Martin Luther, and “I am prepared to die” by Nelson Mandela, are rhetorical speeches which are capable of persuading its audiences. Considering the ovation of people who listen to these speeches, it can be said, that these speeches won people's support for equality between blacks and whites people. Both speeches aim at fighting for equality, the speeches also encourage peaceful protest as a way of achieving equality. According to King “we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.” And according to Mandela “it is only through discipline mass action that our victory can be assured.” By these statements, both speakers are able to prove that they are peace loving leaders.The dynamic peace-loving leadership character of King and Mandela speeches in eradication of segregation showed us so much. Peaceful democracy is the foundation those principles in their speeches are built on.

Mandela and King advocate for democracy in their speeches. Just as in the United States of America in the 1960s, black people in South Africa were denied of their rights to partaking in electoral process in their country. Because they were not represented in the government electoral offices, the interests of the blacks were not considered. This prompted the activism of Nelson Mandela in South Africa and Martin Luther King Junior in United State of America. In his speech, Mandela stated the importance of non racial democratically elected government “It is our belief that the future of our country can only be determined by a body which is democratically elected on a non-racial basis.” Also, advocating for democracy, Martin Luther King in his speech asked everyone to resist segregation. ”Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.With these statements, both speakers focused on advocating democracy and their speeches overtook the deeper problem of inequality. Just as there are similarities in speeches of Mandela and King, the use of figurative expressions in Luther speeches is a major difference.

Martin Luther King Junior uses figurative expression in his style of writing. For many people, the uses of figurative expression in “I have a Dream” mark the intelligence of Luther as a leader. “We have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check.” Literally, Luther was referring to emancipation proclamation which was signed by President Lincoln’s administration about a hundred years before Luther's speech. Luther uses the scenario of cashing a check to explain his  aims.
This is because freedom for  black people had been signed into law by the past administration and the present administrations refused to grant them their freedom and right. King's Statement “we have come to the nation capital to cash a check” can be interpreted as follows: Bank is the Government, demanding for Cash is demanding for Freedom, and the Check is King's Speeches. King hoped and trusted in justice to achieve freedom for his people. Unlike Kings, Mandela speech did not contain figurative expressions.

There are notable similarities and differences in their speeches. Their speeches and activities show that they both possess good leadership qualities. Up to date, both speeches are regarded as heroic speeches.
