Ex-Convict Interview

During the length of the presentation, I think the main aspect the speaker pointed out is on issues of how few people wanting to become donors, which it resulted to an extremely long waiting list of critically-ill people hoping to be the next one to received an organ or tissue transplant. For that reason alone, many are dying every year waiting for organ transplant. For example, an 18 months old named April who died waiting for a heart valve donor that she did not had. On the other side, the speaker pointed out the 2 types of organ and tissue donors which are, donor after pronounced brain death and cardio-circulatory death. Additionally, she discussed the process involves in organ and tissue donation in a timely

Khan’s purpose in writing this essay is to inform her audience about the process of an organ transplant. Even though she does not describe every action that the doctors are preforming, she is displaying the general process of it all. Rhetorical appeal is shown in vigorous amounts throughout this essay.

Neil Theise of NYU is a credible source which attracts the

“Our Own Warrior Princes” written by Maureen Dowd, appeared in the New York Times on June 1, 2003. Dowd writes about her niece Jennifer donating organ to her uncle, Michael. She explains how her niece went through a complicated and risky surgery, and how strong and brave Jennifer has been to face them. She compares her braveness to undergo surgery like Xena the Warrior Princes. The author brings in awareness to Americans that there are thousands of people who need organ donors. This story was specifically for people who are scared and reluctant to donate organ for people who really needed them. Dowd tells us how people refuse to mention even though they have signed up their donor card or mention their identity as an organ donor.

Bill Coon is a two time heart transplant recipient, one time kidney recipient, and organ donation advocate. When asked why he became an advocate of organ donation, he simply replied, “Without organ donation, I wouldn’t be standing here today. I have been saved by the miracle of organ donation twice in my lifetime.” When waiting in the hospital for his new organs, he comments on how incredibly important the machine he’s hooked to is, slipping away from the machine would simply end his life. After his realization and how important organ donation is, he vowed to write about his experiences in his journal until the day he received his new heart and kidney, as he wanted others to realize what it felt like to be living off of a machine. First most,

On March 6, 2016, 60 Minutes aired the interview of Bill Whitaker with Texas inmates, whom have all been sentenced to death. They had all claimed to having certain emotions towards their sentence, each person’s being different. Specifically they all claimed to have regret of their actions and only find themselves guilty, except for one. One of the interviewees, Elvis Wesbrook, finds his ex-wife guilty for the killings of the five people. Specifically, he said his ex-wife had invited him to a party where he felt threatened. She was having sex with another man which led him to kill all five people there; “I’m a victim in this as well as everybody else.” Although some people believe that he isn’t a victim in any way and should be punished, Wesbrook

On 9 December 2015 I, Daniel Hunter contacted the Sumner County Probation Office in reference to Daren Gilley. Mr. Gilly’s probation officer met me at his residence located at 1054 Hartsville Pike #54.
