  1. Anaphora As Defined By: Dani Samson 3rd Hour

  2. Definition • Repetition of the same word or group of words at the beginning of successive clauses

  3. Example One “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “I Have a Dream” speech

  4. Example Two “We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender.” - Winston Churchill, World War II speech in House of Commons

  5. Breakdown For each clause: “Repeating word/ group of words, ….rest of sentence. In a group of clauses: “Repetitive terms ……., Repetitive terms ……, Repetitive terms ……” *Always comes in beginning in groups of clauses. Just remember Anaphora starts with the letter A, and A is at the beginning of the alphabet. :) **Also, the repetitive words will usually follow a comma or a period.
