week 2

PRECIS:
IN HALF THE SKY THE AUTHORS USE NARRATION IN ORDER TO SHOW HOW HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS AROUND THE WORLD. THE AUTHORS FOCUS IS TO CALL FOR HELP, VOLUNTEERS, AND CONTRIBUTIONS SO THAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING WILL STOP. THE AUTHORS USE VERY WELL CRAFTED PROSE IN ORDER TO SHOW " THE CENTRAL MORAL CHALLENGE" OF OUR TIME. KRISTOF AND WuDUNN GO FROM A SPECIFIC TO GENERAL POINT OF VEIW THORUGHOUT THE NOVEL. THE AUTHORS GO FROM FIRST PERSON TO SECOND PERSON THROUGHOUT. IN THIS NOVEL THE AUTHORS GO FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY THROUGHT THE NOVEL FROM ONE CHAPTER TO THE OTHER AND USE SENSORY DESCRIPTION TO DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. THE AUTHORS HAVE A PASSIONATE TONE WHICH CAUSES A ENPOWERED MOOD. IT MAKES YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING TO HELP OR MAKE A CHANGE.
