Amplification Plus Antithesis


Avril reads her latest Lost Tools essay to me... Me: "Wait. What's this?! 'I think Brother Luke should have helped Robin...' None of this 'I think' business. Just make the statement and then support it with evidence. Be bold! You know your own mind, right?" Avril nervously laughs: "Okay." Me: "Okay. Read on." Avril reads on... gets to the end, "This story teaches us that whether there are clouds of sickness and death or beautifully peaceful skies of life over the world, never put fear of sickness or death over the need to serve or help others." Me: "Woah now! What's that?!" Avril: "That's amplification PLUS antithesis."
