A theme that is profoundly emphasized in Salt To The Sea is that in order to face the emotional and physical hardships life opposes you with, you need perseverance. Throughout the course of the novel, Sepetys forces Emilia to withstand many physical hardships that push her to her breaking points, but through perseverance, Emilia is able to get through these obstacles. Emilia’s first challenge is presented to her very early on in the book, showing the reader how brutal of a time war is. In this part of the book, Emilia knows she is injured but denies help and persists through the pain.
What is more, the author uses pathos in order to persuade the audience on an emotional level, so that provide a high degree of emotional intensity. Beaty manages to capture the readers with a strong appeal to pathos, using alarming statistics and data. Concretely, she nearly scares the audience by stating that approximately 350 serial killers are currently at large in the USA. Also, according to Holmes and DeBurger, whose evidence Beaty successfully uses in her article, "between 3,500 and 5,000 people become victims of serial murder each year in the United States alone" (Beaty). Such approach of conveying the vital information to the audience is fairly useful as evokes different feelings which in fact urge to read more on the presented topic.
A 25-year-old woman from Sydney was charged with murdering her father and sister and seriously injuring her mother. The parents of the woman prevented her from seeking psychiatric treatment she needed because of their Scientology beliefs. This can be related back to the novella, as people who didn’t follow the waves structure was shamed and was either removed from the party or beaten up. To be apart of scientology, you must pay $800 per hour for a so called, ‘therapy’. These expensive sessions can last a minimum of two and a half hours each.
About 400 women die due to domestic abuse from their partners every year (http://domesticabuseshelter.org/). One of those women could have easily been Beatrice, the mother in Purple Hibiscus, but she acted in time before she became just another name on the list of women who’ve experienced domestic abuse. The story of a christian family from Nigeria is a very powerful one. Anyone who has or still is experiencing abuse should take the time to read it. The book Purple Hibiscus focuses on a 14 year old girl named Kambili who has a very abusive father named Eugene.
/ You already have a story of the torture / I suffered in my war-torn homeland" (Herd, 125) which starts off the tale with a serious undertone and showcases a glimpse of the dehumanizing actions the author experiences, particularly within the last line where she defines her birthplace as a 'war-torn homeland'. She starts it off similarly to the previous passages, where they convey their traumatizing encounters, but she chooses to address the character as 'you', which strips down the invisible wall between you as the reader and the speaker as it gives the feeling of being spoken to directly. Furthermore, the repetition of 'refugee' is significant as she knows that that is what she is labelled as, either by 'you' or the interviewer. Whether or not she has a job, family and an education, she will be labelled as a refugee which of which have negative connotations behind the title. The speaker uses 'you' with an underlying, accusing tone as a way of telling other people that they do realize and recognize that society labels them as
This is evident through the perspective of which Oprah conveys to the audience, stating rather that such issues “transcend any culture, geography, race, religion. Politics or workplace.” Thus, such ideas that Oprah explores are not limited to the confides of the film industry, and as such her speech stands as a reflection to all issues and controversies regarding global and societal mistreatment and discrimination. Oprah further emphasizes the struggles to which most women must endure so as to speak out against such controversies, with her main, yet subtle, critique directed towards the scrutiny of the mud-slinging Fake News campaign. Oprah simply states that “we all know the press is under siege these days.”

Holden has so many courteous words to describe Allie. The impact of losing his brother seems to be very difficult for Holden. Salinger uses Allie’s death to show that cancer, primarily pediatric cancer, has a huge effect on the child’s family. Holden continues on stating that when he was thirteen “...they were going to have me psychoanalyzed and all, because I broke all the windows in the garage. I don’t blame them.
The best examples, although not always biblical, often point to Christ’s sacrifice, loss, and eventually his sanctification of sinners. This form came out clearest in The Last Leaf with Behrman’s example of sacrifice. The washwoman also becomes a Christ-figure because of her work ethic, which often leads to her loss and other people’s gain. Even Gwilan’s Harp shows similarities to Christ’s sacrifice when Gwilan chooses not to resent or shun Torm for his part in the accident that destroyed her harp. Overall, these three short stories showcase several forms of loss and how to best use them in
Now as a country we face a near epidemic of mass public shootings at a place that is supposed to be safe for children. After Sandy Hook, the issue became more urgent and the country took charge. New policies, security rises, and lockdown procedures are what saves kids now nearly 4 years since the Sandy Hook mass shooting. In the wake of a tragedy, the country rose to make everyday a safer one. Debates about gun control are still being argued in the White House, and once a changed is made perhaps the numbers of those lost due to gun violence will go down including those lives of children.

Chris Connolly, a spokesman for the coalition task force training the rebels.
Imagine that out of the blue, you are kidnapped. These strangers aren’t holding you for ransom – no, you’re being taken somewhere far, far away. You will never see your family again, and your kidneys? Say goodbye to those, too.
Immigration Issues There is many differences between the issues of Syrian immigration and the immigration of Latino’s in the U.S. First of all, the issues with the Syrian immigrants are way different than the immigration issues with the Latino’s. For example, Syrian people are fleeing their hometown because of a war. The war started in March of 2011, in part of the Arab Spring. Thousands of Syrians fled their country every day. They often decided to finally escape after seeing their neighborhoods bombed or family members’ kills.
I believe those who want to cross the border should get a background check. Families have to save money in order to bring them back. The U.S. legalizes irrelevant things such as gay marriages and medical marijuana. They need to legalize immigrants who come to seek hope. Things like immigration should be legalized.
