The author portrays this through companies lowballing her and then refusing her offers and causing more problems Tue, 12 Dec 2023 23:59:18 -0600 Short and Blunt Senteces https://nowcomment.com/documents/362436?scroll_to=3200008 https://nowcomment.com/documents/362436?scroll_to=3200008 I think that in the last half of the paragraph the author uses blunt and short sentences to represent the gravity of Geys Situation. (EXAMPLE: If they did, it might buy him time. Or it might not.) The "Or it might not" is so blunt and forced me to see the severity of the surgery and cancer.

While talking about her family comming to her in the hospital. She uses her dropping 40 pounds in weight to evoke pity or sadness through her suffering Mon, 27 Nov 2023 10:53:36 -0600 paragraph 102 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360952?scroll_to=3180838 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360952?scroll_to=3180838 The first time Crazy Joe tried to kill himself over Henrietta, he ran circles around her in the middle of winter while she was on her way home from school. He begged her for a date, saying, “Hennie, come on … just give me a chance.” When she laughed and said no, Crazy Joe ran and jumped straight through the ice of a frozen pond and refused to come out until she agreed to go out with him. Mon, 13 Nov 2023 11:12:17 -0600 I think that the writer appeals to pathos because we are told about the home house and at least when I heard this I thought of something like my home where its nice and warm and comfortable. Maybe using that to spark the readers memory. https://nowcomment.com/documents/360952?scroll_to=3180818 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360952?scroll_to=3180818 Mon, 13 Nov 2023 11:07:21 -0600 I liked that they put the extremely complicated type of stuff into something that we can all know and relate to like a fried egg. https://nowcomment.com/documents/360952?scroll_to=3176098 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360952?scroll_to=3176098 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 10:25:22 -0600
