She notes that physically, Henrietta didn't show any signs of sickness and you wouldn't have been able to tell she has cancer. The author uses language like "fade" to evoke a certain emotion in the readers. It provides a sense of sadness because although one might not be able to tell Henrietta is sick on the surface, her eyes tell you otherwise.

This adds to pathos as it offers a sense of personalization and appeals to readers emotionally. She speaks about the tragic things that have happened which evoke certain emotions in the readers. Furthermore, readers are persuaded to understand Henrietta's story by the way Deborah describes her life. Thu, 09 Nov 2023 13:58:53 -0500
