    As I asked Coach if he was a bookworm or slacker he smirked evilly and replied “well its college so you really can’t slack, but I was a class clown, so you could basically say I was a borderline slacker.” Coach said that “going to college out in Alabama was crazy, it was like they never have seen a Hispanic man before, but having to learn to stop living that city boy life was hard, all in all moving to going to college out in Alabama made me a better man.” Coach’s coming of age was him having to realize that life isn’t a game anymore and that he had to get used to not always having someone there to pick him up whenever he falls.

    As for emotion appeals, I believe that they are quintessential to express writer’s own perception and consciousness. Furthermore, David Fleming claims that “The goal of rhetoric was thus to move one’s audience…it meant stirring their emotions and eliciting their actions.” Strong emotions are powerful enough to even swing a stranger’s notion.
