Isolate and discuss the rhetorical devices that appear in the following passage:"Sam Goldwyn once said that an oral agreement isn't worth the paper it's written on. We wonder what he would have said about the Pennzoil-Texaco case."-The Worcester, Mass., Evening Gazette
What will be an ideal response?
(Background: In 1985, Pennzoil offered to buy out Getty Oil Co. for $5.3 billion. Although both parties agreed to the deal and press announcements were issued, Getty abruptly backed out when Texaco offered $10 billion for Getty. Getty accepted the Texaco offer, and Pennzoil sued for $14 billion in damages.) This is a rhetorical comparison, of course.
