1 Dennis Rodman and the Art of the (Metaphoric) Screen You are about to experience truth -- someone's version of it. Some years ago a now-infamous incident occurred in the world of professional basketball. The participants included a basketball player, a referee, a cadre of players and coaches, and ten thousand or so fans. You are about to read two different accounts (or versions) of the same incident. You will likely see some differences between them, although the differences lay not so much in matters of "fact" as in the strategic use of metaphors and other rhetorical devices by which each account is given its particular rhetorical character. As you read them, consider the effect that each version is likely to have on audiences who did not actually witness the event(s), and, who experienced only a single written version. 1

2 Screen Version #1 Chicago Bulls forward Dennis Rodman faces yet another suspension by the NBA for his dangerous tirade in Saturday night's game at New Jersey. Rodman was ejected with 1:31 left in the first quarter after receiving his second technical foul. Rodman then proceeded to head-butt referee Ted Bernhardt, catching him just above the left eye. In typical fashion, Rodman then ripped off his shirt and stormed around the court, pausing briefly to knock over a water cooler in front of a group of stunned young boys before finally leaving. 2

3 Screen Version #2 Chicago Bulls forward Dennis Rodman faces a suspension by the NBA for his wild and theatrical behavior in Saturday night's game at New Jersey. Rodman was given his notice of leave with 1:31 left in the first quarter of Saturday's game after receiving his second technical foul. Rodman appeared to have bumped an official during a heated discussion over the foul. Consistent with past heroics, and to the delight of the Chicago faithful, Rodman then removed his shirt as he paraded around the court before finally exiting stage left into his team's locker room. 3

4 Phase #2: So, is Rodman a Lunatic or some kind of Anti- Hero? Let's look closer. Put on your "Metaphoric Goggles" and view each version as a professional rhetorician would. 4

5 Pay close attention to the word choice used by the writer of screen version one. Provide evidence from the screen version for each question. Does he portray the events with a positive or negative connotation? Does this version prove Rodman to be a lunatic or antihero? Does the writer believe Rodman was violent or simply providing entertainment? After analyzing the writer's word choice in screen version one, do you believe this version to be truthful or do you believe the writer twisted the truth of the events? Why or why not? 5

6 Screen Version #1 Chicago Bulls forward Dennis Rodman faces yet another suspension by the NBA for his dangerous tirade in Saturday night's game at New Jersey. Rodman was ejected with 1:31 left in the first quarter after receiving his second technical foul. Rodman then proceeded to head-butt referee Ted Bernhardt, catching him just above the left eye. In typical fashion, Rodman then ripped off his shirt and stormed around the court, pausing briefly to knock over a water cooler in front of a group of stunned young boys before finally leaving. 6

7 Screen Version #1 Chicago Bulls forward Dennis Rodman faces yet another suspension by the NBA for his [dangerous tirade] in Saturday night's game at Chicago. Rodman was [ejected] with 1:31 left in the first quarter after receiving his second technical foul. Rodman then proceeded to [head butt] referee Ted Bernhardt, catching him just above the left eye. [In typical fashion], Rodman [ripped off] his shirt and [stormed] around the court, pausing briefly to knock over a water cooler in front of a group of stunned young boys before finally [leaving] the court. 7

8 Pay close attention to the word choice used by the writer of screen version TWO. Provide evidence from the screen version when answering the questions below. Does he portray the events with a positive or negative connotation? Does this version prove Rodman to be a lunatic or antihero? Does the writer believe Rodman was violent or simply providing entertainment? After analyzing the writer's word choice in screen version two, do you believe this version to be truthful or do you believe the writer twisted the truth of the events? Why or why not? 8

9 Screen Version #2 Chicago Bulls forward Dennis Rodman faces a suspension by the NBA for his wild and theatrical behavior in Saturday night's game at New Jersey. Rodman was given his notice of leave with 1:31 left in the first quarter of Saturday's game after receiving his second technical foul. Rodman appeared to have bumped an official during a heated discussion over the foul. Consistent with past heroics, and to the delight of the Chicago faithful, Rodman then removed his shirt as he paraded around the court before finally exiting stage left into his team's locker room. 9

10 Screen Version #2 Chicago Bulls forward Dennis Rodman faces a suspension by the NBA for his [wild and theatrical behavior] in Saturday night's game at Chicago. Rodman was [given his notice of leave] with 1:31 left in the first quarter after receiving his second technical foul. Rodman appeared to have [bumped] an official during a heated discussion over foul. [Consistent with past heroics] and to the delight of the Chicago faithful, Rodman then [removed] his shirt as he [paraded] around the court before finally [exiting stage left] into his team's locker room. 10

11 After analyzing the writer's word choice in screen version one and two, which version do you believe to be a more truthful version? Explain your response using a comparison of text evidence from each version. 11

12 Dennis Rodman headbus the referee. YouTube 12

13 Phase #3: So, you've seen how language acts as a filter or "screen" through which truth is both colored and experienced. Language screens filter truth in the way that different shades of glasses filter light. Consider, then, in light of what you've seen, the following questions: 1. Is there really such a thing as "pure truth" when considered in light of how humans use and abuse language?" 2. Is the "truth" merely a matter of "reporting" the "facts?" 3. Had you been an eye witness, would your version of this drama constitute the truth? On which view of/from language? 13

14 Create your own version of the events. Try to make your version sound credible! Chicago Bulls forward Dennis Rodman faces a suspension by the NBA for his in Saturday night's game at New Jersey. Rodman was with 1:31 left in the quarter of Saturday night's game after receiving his second technical foul. Rodman appeared to have during. Consistent with and, Rodman then his shirt and the team's locker room. 14
