This is achieved through the implementation of rhetorical techniques, including ethos, logos, and pathos, generating textual integrity.

Genie was the name they pinned on the child due to the similarities of being kept in isolation, then suddenly brought out to human society. During the first few months of life, children need to be exposed to other humans who will care and love for them because this creates a set of ideas and attitudes about who they are as independent beings (Brym et al. 2015,96).
