Factors like the population and the churches would affect this https://nowcomment.com/documents/304185?scroll_to=2706528 https://nowcomment.com/documents/304185?scroll_to=2706528 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 10:44:59 -0500 Question 2 https://nowcomment.com/documents/303660?scroll_to=2701603 https://nowcomment.com/documents/303660?scroll_to=2701603 The doctors justified the use of using patients in public wards as medical research subjects because they were treated for free. Them being used as a research subject was their "payment." I disagree with this reasoning- I think it's unethical to do this kind of experiment with no consent. Whether the treatment is free or not doesn't determine how "human" someone is, and a patient should be asked about this regardless of the situation.

Interesting perception of fate https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=2644774 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=2644774 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 12:31:13 -0500 Sentence pacing and repetition of "she" at the beginning of lines https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=2644772 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=2644772 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 12:29:35 -0500 Importance of language https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=2644771 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=2644771 Explains how just simply being able to talk to someone makes them think you're like them. Makes you think about how superficial perceptions of people can be Mon, 22 Nov 2021 12:28:33 -0500 Explains why he stayed quiet- he chose his physical wellbeing over what he thought was right. Interesting way to think about it https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=2644769 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=2644769 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 12:26:25 -0500 Claim/comparison https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=2644768 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227745?scroll_to=2644768 This claim compares his treatment to the treatment of different races in our country. It goes to show how this injustice goes deeper than just being seen widely in a country, but it can also be seen in families, a place where you'd think that everyone would be treated the same.

He moves away from talking about religion to grab your attention again. It kind of "hurls you back in" to the story if your attention had been lost. Thu, 28 Oct 2021 23:07:42 -0400 Word choice to show just how addicted she is to lying https://nowcomment.com/documents/293736?scroll_to=2610086 https://nowcomment.com/documents/293736?scroll_to=2610086 Tue, 26 Oct 2021 11:15:53 -0400 This is figurative language/imagery. By using figurative language to describe her lying as her residing on a throne and marching through the gates of her alcazar, it paints an image of that in your mind.
