Antithesis is a rhetorical device that pairs contrasting or opposite ideas in a parallel grammatical structure to highlight differences or create emphasis. It simplifies complex ideas through contrast, making them easier for readers or listeners to understand. Consider the famous quote from Neil Armstrong when he stepped onto the moon: “Setting foot on the moon may be a small step for a man, but a giant leap for mankind.” Here, the antithesis lies in contrasting the ‘small step’ for an individual with the ‘giant leap’ for all humanity. The parallel structure of the two phrases highlights the incredible significance of this event, presenting it as both a personal and massive achievement.

Identify the lines from the poem that show antithesis and explain why it is so.

97. (v) Complete the analogy by using a word from the extract. achieve: goal : : face : ___________
98. II. Answer the following questions. 1. What is the significance of the metaphor, ‘The first step is the hardest’ in the context of personal growth?
99. II. 2. What message does the antithesis in the poem convey about the nature of personal development?
100. II. 3. Do you think the poet’s message is realistic in the context of real-world struggles? (Clue: Evaluate whether simply ‘believing in yourself’ is enough to overcome obstacles or other factors are also necessary.)
101. … and more questions are solved in the complete PDF above.

Chapter at a Glance

• Follow That Dream (prose, printed pages 231–244) is a personal letter , and its form is its argument. It opens with permission — “By all means follow that dream” — and closes with a wish, “I wish at least one of your dreams comes true too.” Everything hard sits in between, so the caution never reads as refusal. The mother even names the risk and disowns it: “No, I am not going to put a wet blanket on your dreams, … but you will also have to consider the years you need to chase your dream.”
• Her method of persuasion is worth watching. She uses a rhetorical question to plant a hard fact without lecturing — “Do you know that to reach world-class standard in any field, one has to be singularly and intensively pursuing the subject for at least ten years?” — and then anecdotes instead of rules : the Academy Award winner thanking “a host of people that formed his/her support network”; the people whose Raffles College dream was ended by “the Japanese invasion during World War II”; those who “had wished to finish secondary school but they had to go out to work so that they could support their siblings”. The last anecdote is her own — “publishing this book is a dream I have chased in the last ten years” — which is what makes the advice credible rather than preachy.
• The letter’s real subject is not success but the changed dream . “From my own experience, life itself may change a person’s dreams. These hopes and aspirations are no less than the original dream of younger days.” A later dream is slower — “a path through a maze of hurdles” — and more crowded, because “the people who are participants in your dreamscape would be many more.” The word dreamscape (glossed as ‘a world of dreams’) becomes the chapter’s vocabulary hook for the -scape family: mindscape, seascape, landscape, cityscape.
• Believe in Yourself (poem, printed pages 245–258) is four four-line stanzas rhyming abcb — lines 2 and 4 chime (see/be, fear/near, quo/grow, back/track) while lines 1 and 3 run free. Its devices are compact: a rhetorical question built on antithesis (“Will it pull you forward / Or push you back in fear?”), the symbol of the status quo as stagnation, and the governing metaphor “The first step is the hardest”, which the illustration on page 246 turns literal — a boy at the foot of a white staircase, a girl already climbing.
• The two pieces make one argument from two sides. The mother writes from the far end of a ten-year dream and tells Ming what it costs; the poet stands at the near end and tells the reader to move. Where the letter insists on a support network (“for one winner, there is a group of people who stood by him/her”), the poem insists on solitude (“There is no crowd to see”) — a contrast worth arguing about, and the Critical Reflection questions invite exactly that argument.
• The language work is heavy on both sides: a -scape word box, six idioms ( burn in her blood , uphill task , buoyed up , wishful thinking , wet blanket , coursing through her veins ), the first conditional with an imperative , four functions of could , a ten-blank verb-form cloze, six Latin expressions used in English ( etc., e.g., ad hoc, in media res, per se, quid pro quo ), and rhetorical questions. Both Unit 8 listening transcripts are in the Appendix, printed pages 275–276 .
