A recent review by food critic Pete Wells, published in the New York Times (link http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/14/dining/reviews/restaurant-review-guys-american-kitchen-bar-in-times-square.html?pagewanted=1&_r=0) recently went viral all over the Internet. Wells' use of an entire essay of rhetorical questions is what made the review powerful, striking, and thought-provoking.
Challenge to JWN: Write a paragraph (or several if you're feeling up to it) entirely of rhetorical questions getting your point across to the Watchtower writers, the Governing Body, JW's in general, an interested person, or anything of this sort. Here are some amazing excerpts from the article to get your creative juices flowing!
GUY FIERI, have you eaten at your new restaurant in Times Square? Have you pulled up one of the 500 seats at Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar and ordered a meal? Did you eat the food? Did it live up to your expectations?
Did you notice that the menu was an unreliable predictor of what actually came to the table? Were the “bourbon butter crunch chips” missing from your Almond Joy cocktail, too? Was your deep-fried “boulder” of ice cream the size of a standard scoop?
If a customer shows up with a reservation at one of your two Tex Wasabi’s outlets, and the rest of the party has already been seated, does the host say, “Why don’t you have a look around and see if you can find them?” and point in the general direction of about 200 seats?
Is the entire restaurant a very expensive piece of conceptual art? Is the shapeless, structureless baked alaska that droops and slumps and collapses while you eat it, or don’t eat it, supposed to be a representation in sugar and eggs of the experience of going insane?
I look forward to your responses.
