Introduction to the Rule of Three
Throughout history, writers and speakers have used the Rule of Three to make their messages more memorable. This technique involves listing three related items or ideas, which creates a sense of rhythm and emphasis. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, 'I have a dream that one day... little children will be able to join hands and sing... free at last.' The repetition of the phrase 'I have a dream' and the series of three images reinforce his message and make it more powerful. Similarly, in stories and speeches, patterns of three are common to heighten impact and aid recall.
