Cadaver

Waldemar R. Semrau reveals his point when he says "please consider joining me". When the author speaks of this, he means joining him in donating your body for the good of science and recycling. Through out the essay Semrau reveals a hidden meaning of what he was really talking about. This strategy really helps keep the reader interested and entertained. It may even shock the readers, if revealed to abruptly. The subject of which the author is trying to persuade the reader to do is a very grotesque and touchy subject, but his strategy is very effective in making it a comical and clever way of viewing the situation. It was a definately a successful way of portraying the events. Instead of clearing saying he sold his body for use in disection in medical school, which is pretty unsettling, he instead states that he is attending medical school, at Harvard! This attitude makes the reader think the circumstances may be a good way to give back and "recycle". Overall the author did an excellent job of approaching his subject matter. It was a very tough subject to breach, and his strategy was very successful.
