Alan suffered because of a freak accident. Suffering is found when people make a decision that affects another in a negative way. An example of suffering could be that a girl decides to date a boy from her school, but there was another girl who liked that same boy and now she is heartbroken.

Even though Oscar dies at the end he still fulfilled his dream of being with a girl. Once he died Yunior looks up to Oscar even more and stops following the dictatorship and change his life around to be a better man.
In Michael Levin’s “The Case for Torture”, he uses many cases of emotional appeal to persuade the reader that torture is necessary in extreme cases. There are many terms/statements that stick with the reader throughout the essay so that they will have more attachment to what is being said. Levin is particularly leaning to an audience based in the United States because he uses an allusion to reference an event that happened within the states and will better relate to the people that were impacted by it. The emotional appeals used in this essay are used for the purpose of persuading the reader to agree that in extreme instances torture is necessary and the United States should begin considering it as a tactic for future cases of extremity. One major eye catching factor of this essay is the repetitive use of words that imply certain stigmas.

Atul Gawande is specifically talking about prisoners of war and incarcerated people and how their experience was and that process. The essay talked about how people are put in isolation which caused them to act out of their character. Goffman would argue that effects of solitary confinement are exactly what total institutions can do to a person's.
A volunteer prison chaplain and gardener, who resigned from his post after accusations of reading "homophobic" Bible verses to prisoners, has lost his case for unfair dismissal at the employment tribunal. Pentecostal minister, Reverend Barry Trayhorn, from Bedfordshire, UK, had read 1 Corinthians 6, verses 9-11 to inmates at HMP Littlehey in 2014.

Something beautiful. Something true” (Foer 165). He turned on Mr.Black’s hearing aids for the first time in a long time Oscar sees the depths of grief as he watched Mr. Black cry to many sounds, including the sound of his own voice “not out of happiness, I could tell, but not out of sadness either” (Foer 168).
