11Eleventh: images and rhetorical styles in the essay
Simile: likeningthe will to the acttothe parent and the child, and to right and left — it brings the idea ofnecessary correlationwithin reach.
Argument by sensory examples: the stone, the water, the ink and the iron — they makethe abstract idea visible.
Personification and embodiment: the description ofthe ghosts whom starving and torturing cannot hurt — it lays barepeople's neglect of the public domain.
Contrast (muqābalah): between"I and we" and "he and they", and betweenthe public and the private — it locates the flaw.
Interrogation: "what do we change? and for what goal?" — itdirects the reader to the heart of the matter.
Emphasis: "it will not take so much as a fingertip's width… unless…" — a negated conditional that strengthens the idea.
