MLK Keep Moving






This sign basically means no excuses. You can do anything you put your mind to, just keep moving forward and forget the past. For Schemes the words that relate to this sign would be diacope, scesis onomaton, anaphora, anadiplosis, antimetabole. Diacope, Anadiplosis, and Antimetabole are similar in this sign because they repeat the ending word as the first word in the next sentence. Scesis onomaton is another word I chose because the whole poster consists of adjectives and nouns. Anaphora is one other word I selected was because the sign repeats the words "if you cant." For Tropes, the words that relate to this sign would only be antanaclasis. Black and white are the only colors on the poster. The focalizers would be the words keep moving and everything else that is underlined. All the words are in all caps. The adjectives are the only thing underlined. Martin Luther King Jr's name is italic/cursive.
