The book which was named The Most Beautiful English of Giving Love an Open Hand and the article was one of it. It not just tell a story but tell some truth about life. It tells some situations in our life, such as couple, gains and losses, happiness and so on. And it also gives some suggestions, and teaches us to remember the people's virtue which make you unhappy, learn lessons from misfortunes.

"It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone."In this sentence, it imply climax which means that the arrangement of words, phrases, clauses or sentences in ascending order of importance. It's about the process of love which from stranger to familiar. During different stage, it needs different time——from short term to long. And the felling is deepen gradually. It describe the love accurately. And also implied antithesis to explain that forgetting is hard. Thus, just the same as what has said that don't expect love in return. We only can require ourselves not others.

In the content that followed also used this rhetoric. For example, "When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying."Antithesis is the deliberate arrangement of contrasting words or ideas in balance structural forms. It can add vividness and appeals to the readers' emotion. Here, the author described the state of life correctly and it fit to everyone of us. Our parents and other relative expect our to come the world, so when we are born, they are all very happy. But we are cry for adjusting the new world. But we also can do something to change this. Try our best to do something meaningful, to help others, to enrich our life,to do what we are want to do and to be succussed. Thus, we will never

regret and can be accept dead at ease. At this time, our relatives and friends would cry, because they hate to part with us. Everything is opposite to each other, the key is how we treat it.

"May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy."In this sentence, parallelism was implied. In this construction, it's necessary to balance word to word, phrases to phrases, clauses to clauses, sentences to sentences. It crates a good visual image and gives emphasis, clarity and coherence of ideas as well as the rhythm of the language. In the article, it listed some important elements in life and discussed by positive way. We can make good better and worse thing be good. The key is how we treat them. Trials can make us depress but also make us strong, no one can always live a happy life, just as no one would in depress forever. When you treat the life with optimistic, you can find advantage from everything. The life that without sorrow is not complete, so we should cherish whatever we have.

"It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives."In the sentence, it implied antithesis and repetition. We have introduce antithesis, here, we main talk about repetition. Repetition is main used to emphasis the content that the author want to express. The sentence is lexical anaphora. Just as the word" It's true that we don't know......It's true that we don't know......". It express the fault that people have often make. When we have something, we can't find its benefit, but when we loss it, we will find its importance and feel regret. It tells us to cherish everything that we have and treat them seriously.

Life is not a simple thing and there may be many things before us. How we do and what we do would always have a result. Will it good or not, just based on you how to treat it.
