Reread the first few paragraphs of the speech. What is most likely the purpose of the extended metaphor used in paragraph 2 in the story i have a dream

Respuesta :

Answer: To create empathy towards the black people and how the Emancipation Proclamation day was such a crucial moment for them.

Explanation: Since in the first paragraphs Martin Luther King addresses the fact that five years later, the black community is still not free, the purpose of the metaphor in paragraph 2 is to create empathy towards them and calls on society to take action in the alarming situation. He recalls the Emancipation Proclamation day when the black community was liberated from their slavery and refers to their liberation as "a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity"
