The latter part of a sentence causes the audience to rethink the first part.


"A riot is the language of the unheard"

P-OT :

Concrete data - "All Black Lives Matter"

Symbolic liaisons representativity - "Asians 4 black lives"

Example : Single - one event is an example "Stop killing us" - I know this is not the only time a black person has been killed by the police. The reason I am saying this is because the death of George Flyod immediately started this movements, riot, and protest.
