#4 The Staying Power of Emotional Abuse

The article is about a young girl who was involved in an abusive relationship. Even after she shared her relationship problems with those around her, her depression wasn’t “cured” because nobody really cared.  She tells her youth group about how she has been abused in her relationship; however the only response her youth group was “at least he didn’t take your virginity.” Then she goes on explaining how people these days aren’t as interested in caring for those who have been abused physically/verbally then those who has been sexually.

Sabrina Hardy, the author of this article, shares about her personal experience. She uses informal language in order to communicate directly with her reader. She uses simple and colloquial vocabularies to make her article one that is easy to read and understand. Through making her article short, she is able to transmit her point and idea easily and quickly drawing the attention of the reader. She also uses words and first-person to describe her emotion and the pain that she has because of this abuse.
