The Word Artifice
If you could define the word artifice, how would you define it ? The word Artifice would mean to me like cruel or evil. It is important because the reader needs to find what Hedges’ is trying to argue with. Chris Hedge may be misusing the word artifice, and it doesn’t necessarily make sense on what his argument is trying to say.
When Hedges’ argument says “ The most essential skill… is artifice.” Which part of the paragraph do you think is the artifice part. What make sense or adds up to what Hedges’ is trying to say. Identify what Hedges’ point is, and write down what artifice is to you. As in how would you describe artifice or what is he trying to say.
Identify what is the main idea of this passage and what is Hedges’ trying to tell us.
Also what is artifice to you ? Next, the artifice position would be “ Most of all they need a story behind a personal narrative. The reality of the narrative is irrelavant.” Shouldn’t the reality behind the narrative be relevant, or in other words shouldn’t it be important ? Does a person need to do everything in a perfect way in order to be political theater ?
In conclusion, you may or may not have figured out what Hedges’ point was. It may have not been an easy task, but for some it maybe was. So, Hedges’ point was to find the cruel statement and to see if you knew what he meant. The word artifice may mean a variety of things to people, and others may have different perspectives about it.
