    The Search of Man for Reality Man’s life-long thirst for truth, authenticity, reality, prominence and identity has led him to depend on various sources like media, popular opinion and other external sources in search of satisfaction. In essence, I believe that the four essays ("What We Talk about When We Talk about Ralph Sampson", "Through a Glass, Blindly", "The Passion of the Garth", "Ha Ha," he said.

She prepares the audience for this message by beginning with a metaphor that emphasizes the importance of her message, using an ironic tone, not to be missed by the journalists, and by using ethos to remind the journalists what their responsibilities entail.…
