Fight For The Right to Save A Life

Rebecca Schmidt's "Fight for the Right to Save A Life" presents a fact I personally did not know about the FDA and their policies for donating blood. This piece of writing is good because Schmidt provides intense detail and explanations of medical terminology. By doing this, Schmidt encourages the reader to continue with her story, despite terminology they may not have understood otherwise. She continues by going through the key steps of the blood donation process, and then provides statistical evidence of the percentage of people who actually do donate blood. She then culminates her whole argument at the ending of the essay. Her way of building up the essay with facts, statistics, and definitions entices the reader to read to gain knowledge. It's good because it provides analysis of facts to prove a point, as well as providing potentially new knowledge to readers.
