Structural analysis of the text
The sentence at the end of Paragraph 1 makes cleat the author's opinion about?the?meaning of Yamahatas pictures.“The true measure of the event lies not inwhat remains but in all that has disappeared."
The sentence in the middle of Paragraph 4 makes deer the authors opinion onwhat should be done about the existing nuclear peril:“Performing that act isthe greatest of the responsibilities of the generations now alive."
Rhetorical features of the text
"The true measure of the event lies not m what remains but in all that hasdisappeared"(Paragraph 1)
".showing not what me would lose through our failure but what we would gainby our success."(Paragraph 3)
Apart from the "(not)A but B"structure we can also find the "A yet B"type"Yamahata's pictures afford a glimpse of the end of the world.Yet in our day..(Paragraph 3)
And we can find a sentence that organizes information in a similar way withoutthe use of but or yet
Arriving a half-century late,they are still news"(Paragraph 2)
By admitting something is correct first and then saying something else is evenmore correct,or admitting something is urgent first and then saying somethingelse is more urgent with the help of the above sentence structure,the authorsucceeds in making his sentences well-balanced and his argument.forceful andconvincing.
