Topic of Cancer Article
Hitchens’ attitude about his diagnosis shows that he has a very open mind to things that are deadly and are effecting him.
“ To the dumb question why me? the cosmos barely-bothers to return the reply: why not?”
Hitchens’ connects with the audience when he explains his showings on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart & appears at the sold-out event at the 92nd Street Y, on the Upper East Side, in conversation with Salman Rushdie.
The emotional appeal of both pieces seem to show independence, honor, and self pride, to shove aside everything and seem to make fun of, and not worry about. It also shows how to give other strength and help them to overcome fears that disease cause.
“ I have been taunting the Reaper into taking a free scythe in my direction and have now succumbed to something so predictable and banal that it bores even me.”
I find that excerpt from the article is a very bold, and abrupt way to look at death, with no regrets. The usage of word like succumbed, scythe, and banal, show how he has thought into what he says. This isn’t a man struggling with cancer, he’s a man conquering cancer, and giving a reality check to death.
