Read the passage from President Nixon’s resignation speech, in which Nixon develops the theme that a nation’s strength is based on its shared values. As he assumes that responsibility, he will deserve the help and the support of all of us. As we look to the future, the first essential is to begin healing the wounds of this Nation, to put the bitterness and divisions of the recent past behind us, and to rediscover those shared ideals that lie at the heart of our strength and unity as a great and as a free people. By taking this action, I hope that I will have hastened the start of that process of healing which is so desperately needed in America. How does Nixon use the metaphor of “healing” from a “wound” to address the theme? President Nixon’s Resignation Speech
