"Conserve, Reuse, Recycle"

Semrau’s article, “Conserve, Reuse, Recycle”, tells the reader that it is important to use what you have till you cannot use it any longer. He also says if you cannot use it anymore, give it to someone who can make good use of it. He makes the point of, “Quite simply, use what you have until it can no longer function.” In the end of the article, he says that he is going to Harvard Medical School to fulfill his job of using everything to the fullest. He is volunteering his body for the use of science, by giving it to them when he dies. He intentionally leaves this out till the end and it greatly impacts the story. By leaving it out it creates suspense and wonder in the reader and makes the article much more interesting. If you knew he was going to medical school to be a cadaver, the reader probably would not be as interested as if he said he was 75 years old and going to medical school. Him waiting until the end to tell the reader this makes them want to keep reading and find out how he is going to attend medical school.
