In chapters 23-24 of ” What the Eyes Don’t See” ,I think Dr. Hanna-Attisha won her argument when in chapter 23 she states that they (her research team) had found information about the state officials. The information that she received about how the state official basically covered up the issue and protected themselves, rather than the community.I think also, a turning point in her argument was actually getting the state officials to change the water system back to Detroit water system. I think once that was down she basically succeed. In chapter 23 she states,”There is no way that this ever would have happened without the two of you, so thank you for all the lost sleep and incredible work you have done on behalf of Flint residents.” I think in this moment she felt accomplished even though things took and change with the school systems, she brought attention to Flint’s water crisis and celebrities and very important people began to show support.
Including pathos, logos, kairos, and ethos was an important role in her argument. If she never included the data and stats that her and her residents discovered throughout the book, she never would have been able to create her argument. She had the credibility as a pediatrics Doctor, the help from people who studied lead levels in water to help build her argument. The stories she told in her presentation caught the attention of officials and forced them to make a change for Flint.
