EDUC 6810 Week 10 Activity #2

What is the point of view?

The point of view is from a brand new nurse.  The story is told in first person; she is recounting a personal experience.

Whose voice do you hear?

You hear the voice of the nurse, but it is many years later from the time the story took place.

What is the dramatic question?

"And I probably wouldn't have remembered her name if the story had ended there...but she died."  This is the statement that hooked me.  I wanted to know what happened to the little girl.

What is the emotional content?

The emotional content is the loss of a child at the hands of her own father.

How/why do you relate to it?

I relate to this story as someone who loves children.  When I first started watching the story I was hoping for a happy ending for the little girl.  It is unimaginable to me that anyone could abuse a child.  The reason I chose this video is because I love the message that this nurse/professor leaves with her students; that every child has a name and a story.
