Question Answered step-by-step “Nature is mouths, or maybe a single mouth. Why glamorize it,… “Nature is mouths, or maybe a single mouth. Why glamorize it, romanticize it?—well, yes, but we must, we’re writers, poets, mystics (of a sort) aren’t we, precisely what else are we to do but glamorize and romanticize and generally exaggerate the significance of anything we focus the white heat of our “creativity” upon? And why not Nature, since it’s there, common property, mute, can’t talk back, allows us the possibility of transcending the human condition for a while, writing prettily of mountain ranges, white-tailed deer, the purple crocuses outside this very window, the thrumming dazzling “life force” we imagine we all support. Why not?” (Lines 147-156). From Against Nature by Joyce Carol Oates.  Lines 147-156:  What examples of rhetorical questions are in these lines?  What effect do these rhetorical questions produce?  Arts & Humanities English English Literature ENGLISH 123 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
