Reviewing the Rough Draft


Soon, I'll be posting a piece that explores former President George W. Bush's stylistic Presidential beginnings and endings, by comparing his first White House speech (the one after September 11) and his farewell speech last January.

Using tools of methaphoric critique, I uncovered conjunctive repetition in each speech: "and" and "but," respectively.

In the piece I will post, I explore the notion of what those symbols "and" and "but" mean, in specific context to the boomarks the Bush era.  Stay tuned.


What do you think?
