Read the following excerpt from President John F. Kennedy's 1963 Inaugural Address. Then, respond to the question that follows.

So let us begin anew—remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate

Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.

Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms—and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce.

In a short response of 2–3 sentences, explain how the use of antithesis in the bolded lines helps to advance Kennedy's appeal for the American people to unite under a new president.


(Is this a good response?)
In the first sentence, “Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.”, he encourages the people to unite under their similarities. And though those may not be positive things, they can still bring them together. The same is said in the second sentence to give an example of what he means, “Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors.”

The response is a good one, as it has already been accurately identified how the use of antithesis in the bolded lines helps to advance Kennedy's appeal for the American people to unite under a new president.

Antithesis is a rhetorical device that involves the contrast of two opposing ideas or concepts in the same sentence or paragraph. In the excerpt from Kennedy's Inaugural Address, he employs antithesis to make a powerful appeal for unity among the American people. In the bolded lines, Kennedy uses antithesis to contrast the negative aspects of science, such as its terrors, with the positive aspects, such as its wonders.
