As citizens living in the Earth should come together to clean up the tears and be able to take away the pain these citizens went through because we need to help out to rebuild their community.

Brooks uses that certain technique to satisfy his objective of his writing by indicating how the matter should be seen in his point of view. “When they talk about the days their kids were born, their eyes take on a soft Garth Brooks expression, and they tear up” (Brooks, One Nation Slightly Divisible).

On the other hand, Rauch uses emotional appeal but not as effective as Brooks.

And in this novel the Wednesday Wars you can see many different examples of emotions. Especially these two characters in particular, one is named Mrs.Bigio. She is a stern teacher, she can be nice to the people she likes, but when she comes across someone she dislikes she can be very harsh. In some scenarios you could even define her as a racist. And the second character here is named Mai Thi.
These both show that even against seemingly impossible odds you can still thrive and overcome any hardship and grow into a successful and honorable person. This also shows how much a child’s caregiver and the way they are raised can affect them. Abuse is a very serious issue and going unnoticed can have very harmful

Since Edward Taylor had no intended audience in mind when writing his poem, his true, raw emotions are revealed, further indicating his emotional state. Besides using diction Taylor uniquely uses apostrophe, to show his frustration with god.
Her figurative language directs the audience not only to see the images of what she was observing, but also to fill our ears with the elaborate sounds. She brings her journal to life by using figurative language to carefully describe her emotional feelings. "Pay my respect”, “black coats”, “little cemetery", "unbelievable".
