Going Green

1. "I’m going as a cadaver, an anatomical gift. Hopefully I wont be admitted soon, But when I do go it will be a fulfillment of my childhood dream of going to med school.?"
   
   
   2. The intent of this essay by Semrau is to convince more people to sign up  to be used for medical research and education.  It is strengthened as he keeps information from the reader. He catches your interest without fully revealing the topic. This strategy was basically to keep the reader interested long enough in order to make his point.  Once Waldemar made his point near the en of the essay, he still managed to leave out some info in order to keep the reader reading. His strategy worked on me. I kept reading ignorant to the actual point until the end.  His style also helps to persuade the reader into agreeing with his point of donating your body to science by first working on their emotional side.  It was also clever of him to compare anatomical donations to recycling.  By appealing to peoples urge to “go green” Waldemar is able to persuade a larger group of readers. Waldemar uses his syle of withholding information to keep the reader interested, work on personal emotion, and persuade them to his point.
