process

Examples of process (step by step)


 * 1) "What will he be like in person? My heart tightens. How did I get involved in this bizarre affair? Where is this going to take me?"
 * 2) This passage demonstrates the rhetorical strategy, Process (step by step), that Sister Hellen Prejean uses. In a way these questions are foreshadowing what is going to happen next. She uses this strategy throughout the book. For instance on page 20 she writes, "Why do I feel guilty when I think of them? Why do I feel as if I have murdered someone myself?" These questions set up a path for her to unravel her feelings and what will occur next in the story.

1. "Here's a mother who wants her boy out of prison, so she goes to an attorney (who is also a legislator) and asks what it will cost and he tells her, say, twenty thousand dollars. Then, the legislator, not wearing his attorney's hat now but his legislative hat, goes to the governor and presents the request for the pardon and the governor gets in return from him his commitment to pieces of legislation that the governor wants passed. The legislator gets his pardon and the governor gets endorsement for his legislative bills. That's the deal." 2. This shows the step by step process by going through how simple, yet corrupt the system is. 3. Page 173 4. Erica Azad
