"Pain" by Diane Ackerman
"Pain" was a really strong essay in which Diane disscusses different asspects of Pain in different situations. She uses the 'example' strategy through out her essay. She talks about different cultures and their points of views of pain. She also states how women go through pain phisically and how some religious people are willing to tolerate pain as a sign of their devotion to their gods. She mainly emphasizes on the phisical pain rather than emotional; which she brings up in her last paragraph. In my opinion, it would help her to make it a stronger paragraph if she added more details on emotional pain.
In my opinion pain is different for different people at different times. Sometimes you may feel pain and ignore it for your own benifit, eg: getting piercings. Physical pain can lead to mental pain, eg: a person being beaten up, or a person being chased by a serial killer and almost facing death, can go under deep depresion..Pain is very different, and according to me, there are still different situations in which i havnt experienced pain yet..
