One of the spots in the text that really   stood out for me was right at the beginning. In the second paragraph he talks about how metaphors can be used to make people realize that they are only looking at one side of things. By comparing two things together in a metaphor, it can open up someones mind to something that they wouldn’t have even given an ounce of thought in the past. People often times only see things through a bias or solely one sided view. The metaphors that he has created are specifically built for different purposes, mostly to help people understand things that they may not have previously understood.

The second place that really stood out to me was the quote about how arguments are wars and how you have to pick sides. People will pick their own side in an argument, not the other persons side. The point of an argument is that you are set on your point, and you do not want to admit that the other person is right. He also mentions that evidence is a weapon. The evidence in an argument is like the gun in a war, it is just helping out the cause on your side, but harming the other. If you continue to shoot too much evidence in an argument, there will be nowhere else to go with the argument. There will be a winner at the end of the day whether it is earned or reluctant.
