Conserve, reuse, recycle.

Semrau makes his point when he states, "Please consider joining me."

Keeping information from his readers helps Semrau's intent of the essay. His intent is to get the readers to consider giving their bodies as cadavers. Semrau starts his essay by talking about recycling, which is an everyday job most people do, so they can relate to it. He then tells about his life as a child and his career. By talking about wanting to be a surgeon, Semrau relates to other children who have the same goals. So at the beginning of his essay he explains his background and how people can relate without mentioning being a cadaver. By not mentioning this idea yet, Semrau makes the reader question what the rest of his essay is going to be about relating to recycling. Then Semrau began talking about going to Harvard's Medical School, which makes the reader more confused because he is seventy-five years old. Then he says why he is going to medical school, to be a cadaver. He is going to reuse and recycle his body. The way in which he keeps information from the reader draws the reader into his writing, so that at the end they will be captivated by the idea of being a cadaver.

Savior of the Nations Come

In the hymn, Savior of the Nations Come, Martin Luther's theme is through Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection he defeated the devil and sin, through this victory we receive eternal salvation. Martin Luther reveals this theme through description in every verse to describe Christ's life. 'Not by human flesh and blood,' was Jesus born, but 'by the Spirit of our God' Jesus was made flesh. Jesus became flesh to triumph over sin for our sake, and even though 'all the world disowned' him, he still saved us from sin. Through this triumph, we shall see God's kingdom and 'its glories.' Luther also includes pathos with his description. He uses words such as ‘glorious’ and ‘wondrous’. The singer can rejoice about Jesus' birth, 'Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child of the Virgin undefiled!' This miraculous and wondrous birth Luther describes gives the singer joy. The hymn has the joyous tune in which the singer can exclaim their happiness of Jesus' birth. His birth gave us hope for salvation. Jesus was hated throughout his life, but he still prevailed. Through his life, death, and resurrection we receive eternal salvation. Martin Luther describes this theme with great emotion in Savior of the Nations Come.

Borghardt talks about how Christ will come and call our names. He talks about how Christ died and rose for us so we can live in his kingdom. In Edward’s sermon, he talks about God’s wrath. He does not talk about what Jesus did for us, only that we are condemned. He says we do not deserve God’s mercy because we are sinners. Edward briefly mentions Jesus at the end of his sermon.
