Yes, I feel caught between wanting my students to delve deeper via
rhetorical devices, yet as they struggle to apply these strategies, they
miss out on the mere pleasure of responding to phrases, words, events, etc.
They need better questioning, examining, analyzing and synthesizing skills
as future academics, professionals, technicians, consumers, and family
members, yet they need to experience the sheer pleasure ot reading elegant,
graceful language that gives voice to their own experience.
Its the blending of the heart that sparks conviction and logic that protects
them from predators.
