Page 70: "'Words can be like X-rays, if you use them properly-they'll go through anything.'"
Helmholtz Watson's simile here made me think. It made me think because it is true. If you are a good speaker, and can put words in good sequence, you can change people. An example is Martin Luther King, Jr. He was such a good speaker. In the years that he vote for racial justice, he changed a lot of people's opinions on the subject and made it a hotly debated topic. Political candidates today are very good speakers. In order to be elected, you must be a thorough and persuasive speaker. Huxley's simile is very effective and thought-provoking.
