At the end of this excerpt, why does Johnson quote a question from the Bible without offering an answer?

Hello. Although you did not present the text to which this question refers, we can conclude that the presentation of an unanswered question was made to stimulate the reflection of the audience that was reading or hearing this question.

Explanation:

In this case, Johnson transformed a biblical concept into a rhetorical question, whose intention was to provoke people's thinking and reflection in relation to the question, making each one have their own interpretation and applying it to their own life, way that most recognizes the need for this concept.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
