He personifies the two species of hope, clarifying the dangers of indulging in an expectation “dictated not by hope, but by desire,” separating logic from want and explaining the potential consequences. In opening his description of hope with personification, Johnson acknowledges its natural existence in the human experience and the consequent difficulty in cultivating only the logical hope based on facts rather than emotion.

Furthermore, Johnson employs passive voice when describing the scenarios in which hope built of desire thrives, writing of the “expectation that requires the common course of things to be changed, and the general rules of action to be broken.” The passive language acts as an example for the very process his rhetoric delineates, illustrating a scenario in which an external subject must take on a role that does not naturally belong to it.…

Hope is an abstract thought that’s like water, helping to grow a relationship that’s as delicate as a flower. In The Road, the man had his hope, the boy, right in front of him at all times, while the boy had the same until his father died, yet the boy still managed to find hope again.
