What does it mean to truly be "Green?"

1. "Have you figured out yet that I'm going as a cadaver, an anatomical gift?"


2. The intent of this essay by Semrau is to convince more people to sign up as anatomical gifts to be used for medical research and education.  This intent of Semrau is helped when he keeps information from the reader, which is accomplished through his writing strategy.  This strategy was basically to keep the reader interested long enough in order to make his point.  Once Semrau made his point about 3/4 through the essay, he continued to leave out some details in order to keep the reader curious.  As a whole, this strategy was successful, mostly because it kept my interest long enough to hear his point.  Also Semrau's writing strategy helps the intent because it helps to persuade the reader into agreeing with his point of donating your body to science.  It was also an interesting tactic for Waldemar to compare anatomical donations to being "green."  With so many people trying to be completely "green" nowadays, Waldemar knew he could appeal to a majority of the society's interests, and therefore be more persuasive.  Overall, through this strategy of writing, Semrau was successful in both persuading the reader and keeping the reader's interest.
