13. Public Voices, Private LivesMost of us recognize and live with the difference between our public self and our private self. Sometimes, however, those selves – with all their convictions, passions, and values – come into conflict. Then, we must make a choice. Which self will triumph and which self must be sacrificed? Can we find a compromise? These choices are sometimes simply matters of avoiding embarrassment or preventing hurt feelings or confessing dishonesty. Sometimes they are matters of life and death.How do people resolve these conflicts between public and private? What situations challenge their honesty and integrity? How can people slip into hypocrisy or conflicts of interest? January 27

38. Rhetorical Devices • Analogy – a comparison between two dissimilar things to explain an unfamiliar subject in terms of a familiar one Ex: A gang of boys is like a pack of wolves. • Antithesis – the expression of contrasting ideas in parallel grammatical form Ex: Give me liberty, or give me death • Repetition – the repeated use of a word or a phrase for emphasis Ex: Let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come! • Parallelism – form of repetition in which grammatical pattern is repeated Ex: I have a dream. • Rhetorical question – a question to which no answer is expected • Allusions – references to figures, events, or places in the Bible
