In the preface, the author sets the stage for a story about a collision of cultures. Have you ever had an experience with a healthcare provider in which you felt that your different backgrounds were a barrier to your care? If so, would you be willing to share that story? What brought the Lee family to the United States in the first place. Describe how you imagine that journey to be. Try to put yourself in their shoes, if you can. Describe the differences between the experience of labor and delivery in Laos compared to the United States in the 1970s/1980s (as the book describes it). What stands out as the major differences to you? What do you think it must be like to give birth under unfamiliar conditions?

In "After the Disease, the Debt" , the author says,

"Faced with this daunting reality [of huge debts], rich-world governments will make a big mistake if they succumb to premature and excessive worries about budgets. While they are in the throes of the pandemic, the withdrawal of emergency support would be self-defeating."

What does she or he mean? Explain both sentences in th the quotation.

The goal of this paper is to practice identifying and evaluating how an author uses the rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos in their writing. After reading the essay “Designed to Addict” by Mary Aiken, describe the ways she uses these three methods of rhetorical appeal: how does she present herself and establish an authorial persona? How does she rely on the emotions of the audience to achieve her purpose? How does she establish a chain of reasoning in her essay by which she moves from premises to conclusions, from evidence to claims? How does Aiken use all three appeals and is her use effective or not in helping her to achieve her goal for the essay?
