For my oral history interview I interviewed Mary Ann Bilmyer. At the age of 95 she can remember a lot. When I asked her to interview her she was excited to do it. Before the war, 19-year-old Mary Ann was a one-room schoolhouse teacher, but it didn’t pay well so she asked for a raise of $5. They never gave her that raise so she quit her job. About that time the U. S. just joined the war. She was in a relationship with Bud Bilmyer who was a volunteer and was station at Pearl Harbor. The first…

the door. Zaiden pulled her into a hug before letting her go inside, and she was surprised to somehow feel safe again in an embrace besides her father’s. She hadn’t felt safe in a very long time.

In Stephen Crane’s short story An Episode of War, he appeals to ethos and pathos through the use of rhetorical tropes and schemes to tell the story of a wounded Civil War Union lieutenant from both realistic and naturalistic standpoints. Throughout the story, Crane establishes his ethos by explaining a realistic Civil War event with strong historical accuracy. For example, the scene when an unknown distant enemy shooter wounds the lieutenant while making coffee contains a high amount of…
