Q 1-4 pg 131: Lydia's Story

1. Brideau's main point is that Lydia's story "represents the essence of hope and determination in the face of terrible adversary." It's found in the very last paragraph.
2. The primary point of view is Lydia's. The impact that it has is to distance yourself from the subject.
3. Brideau makes her story come alive by including words like hope, determination, rocking, and telling us about Lydia's desire to go back to her house and find the photo album. These are things that really show the emotions that she was feeling when this happened.
4. The audience for this piece would be medical health professionals and students, and the tone suits it because it is very narrative and helps make patients seem more like people with lives and emotions.
