1. In the last sentence of the story the author made the point of Lydia having hope and determination from surviving such a devastating event. "But it's Lydia's story that stays with me the most, probably because it represents the essence of hope and determination in the face of terrible adversity." It shows how hearing such a story changes the life of the audience as well.
2. The story is from the authors point of view but still shows Lydia's experiences. Brideau narrates the story as if she was there having her own hurricane tragedies. This point of view tells us a lot about Lydia but also about the author and what she took from it. All of it shows us exactly what this experience was like.
3. Brideau used some excellent words to describe the setting and situation that made the story "come alive", such as; slender, struck, illuminated, rushing, and essence. These words create great image and make the story more intriguing to follow. Some of the words create some exaggeration which keeps the reader's attention.
4. The audience for this would most likely be other health professionals and people interested in research. The tone is formal yet considerate. The author explains Lydia's loss, her living alone, her fear, and her need to get the photo album, so we see a lot of emotion. The story explains the events that happened to Lydia.
