March of 1998 marked the start of a cult following and a lifestyle change for many people.

__________(1)__________ It was not the experts in cinema that kept this film alive, but the avid movie-goers who saw
something more than a lazy and lucky main character who lived in a constant haze. __________(2)__________ The Big
Lebowski has lived on thanks to these followers. It has become a cult movie, like Animal House and The Goonies before it,
revamping the love for a certain creamy cocktail and inspiring a whole new quasi-religion: Dudeism. __________
(3)__________ The followers of Dudeism practice Lebowski’s philosophy on life: to go with the flow and stay calm, no matter
what hits you. __________(4)__________ It is easy to list the ways Lebowski has influenced today’s culture, with White
Russian competitions and festivals that sport statues of The Dude. __________(5)__________ But going further than just the
tangible evidence, this Coen brothers’ masterpiece has given us a definitive make-or-break in relationships. If they don’t like
The Big Lebowski, it’s safe to say they’re not a keeper.
If the first half is relatable, then the reader or listener will automatically make sense of the second half.

__________(1)__________ For antimetabole to be effective, it does not only have to be grammatically correct, but should
also be logical. __________(2)__________ People, after studying literature for a while, start thinking that they can churn out
antimetaboles with a snap of a finger. __________(3)__________ They fail to understand the fact that a sentence cannot
be called an antimetabole if it is not based on a logical theme. __________(4)__________ Antimetaboles are popular and
effective solely because they appeal to reason and are easy to remember. __________(5)__________ For example: “It is
not about the years in your life, but about the life in your years.” A sentence like this can be called an antimetabole because
it is appealing, correct (logically and grammatically) and has a message to convey to the readers.
