Now, try to resist the urge to follow me into this former pond of poo.
I've had a rough time identifying any antimetabole in anything, but I think I found one:
"Now, it was just what it was." - p. 176
Wait, just kidding. Those are in the same grammatical order. Are we sure these exist in actual literature?
Imagery, on the other hand.... That stuff's all over the place:
"There were yellow butterflies. There was a breeze and a wide blue sky." - p. 173
I can't say it's terribly effective, though. I mean, I'm not going to forget how that place used to look and feel and smell, and I was never even there, actually. Really, I guess his point is the change in the place; it's relatively nice and peaceful there now. "Relatively" must be the key word in that sentence, however. I mean, seriously... the place was gross.
