This example relates the readers to Baker’s life, and this allows them to make an emotional connection.

As society progresses, this boundary is being gradually pushed against the will of individuals and favors the social construct.

The authors appeal to emotion paints a picture in the reader’s mind, further opening their eyes to make them feel how the professor was feeling.

The use of the word “coddling” reflected the way colleges were treating their students like babies. Enforcing trigger warnings to protect the students are not helping them for the future.
