A good author has power to influence the reader into believing whatever it is the author wants.

(6) The suddenness of the winter storm caught people by surprise. A roar “like an approaching train” was all the warning the storm gave. (130) The roaring wind and snow brought darkness and dropping temperatures. The people who were inside when the blizzard struck faced a dilemma. Staying inside and doing nothing seemed “heartless,” but going into the storm “on a rescue mission was likely to be fatal to the rescuer and useless to the lost.” (143) The people who were unfortunate enough to be away from home, whether they were at school or working with their livestock, had to make a difficult decision. They could either risk trying to make it home or chance it out and stay where they were. Schoolteachers had to decide whether to send the children home or keep them at the school. If anyone ventured outside, he or she risked frostbite, hypothermia, and likely

“The word Hero is often defined as, a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.”-Dictionary. One individual who I greatly admire as one of the world’s greatest human beings is Robby Novak. He is a young child who is plagued with osteogenesis imperfecta, a disease that affects your bone structure and causes them to break easily. Robby happens to be a young actor portrayed as the “Kid President”. Despite his medical condition, nothing is stopping him from trying to leave an impact on the world, an act in which he does by making videos. Every single word in his videos, comes from within himself (except for quotes). Furthermore, I am astonished by his ability to write words

Paul Rusesabagina, despite not complying with the dreadful orders of the Rwandan military and Interahamwe and hiding innocent Tutsi people in his hotel to avoid their demise, believes himself to be an everyday Rwandan man. Previous to the genocide, this is true, and it is Rusesabagina’s background and value of human life that makes him believe so. He explains he is “the son of a Hutu farmer and his Tutsi wife...This type of blended family is typical in Rwanda, even with our long history of racial prejudice” (Rusesabagina).
