Dodson begins chapter 6 with a personal story, which he
often does to do to begin a chapter. Chapter 7 starts with a story as well, it
seems like it could have been a story that he heard from someone who
experienced the event first hand because it was so descriptive that it almost
seems like Dodson had been there as well.
I think he uses stories like these to get the reader hooked into the
chapter and to give them an idea on what topic the chapter will cover. These stories then transition into the research
and specific events, which he uses to give more detail on the chapter’s topic. In chapter six he switches back and forth a
little bit between these two styles, but most of the writing is on his
research, not narrative stories. Chapter 7 is similar to 6 only there are fewer
personal stories and more facts; this seems to be the arrangement that Dodson usually
uses for writing in this book.
