Donate Your Body to Science

Semrau's point is best expressed when he writes: “Quite simply, use what you have until it can no longer function.” I believe that the intent of the essay was to pursuade readers into the idea of giving their bodies to science. His writing style was very effective. He opens up with the idea of recycling and going green, which is something that most people know about. This engages readers to his article, which will be important if he is to talk them into doing what he wants them to do. He also tells about his job, which makes him relatable and trustworthy in that people would approach him. His unique way of hiding details is effective in that it is different. This approach can best be described as a sales pitch in disguise. If it does not appear to be like the dreadful sales pitches Americans have grown to despise, it will not scare the reader away and will be more effective in persuading the reader. Instead of directly telling his audience what he wants them to do, he simply states the positives of donating your body to science. This makes the reader feel less pressured and more obligated to donate their body to science. Semrau persuades his readers by being more approachable and fun; he is relatable and creative in his writing.
