McGee, 84 N.H. 114, 146 A. 641.(1929) Facts: Mr. Hawkins, the Plaintiff had undergone reconstructive surgery by Dr. McGee,the defendant, in order to remove scar tissue on his hand that had resulted from an electrical wire accident nine years prior to the transaction.

    An example of this is at the end of the paragraph entitled ‘Bitter news’. This whole paragraph (a question from a reader) is written entirely in bold, making it more noticeable. However, when Virginia answers the question, the text is no longer in bold, but is in a normal text style. This helps to guide the audience into understand when the question ends and the answer starts. Without this, the text would appear very monotonous and dull, which would not attract any readers, causing many people to ignore this entire section completely. This would defeat the purpose of the article, which is to inform, as no one reading the article would mean that no one is being informed, and there is not point of the article. Another use of visual cohesion is at the start of each question, where a title is written in bold and in a bigger font. This informs a reader that this is an entirely new section, which is completely unrelated to the previous paragraphs. An example of this is the title ‘Bitter News’, which signifies the start of the article. Without this, the article would just blend into one, and it would be very…

    There's also use of graphology for example, the way the picture of Sophie is to the side helps draw attention to her after every paragraph you read . Also the font of the title gets smaller however it still repeated the same question. Throughout the text the font gets smaller from title up till the end until the contact information is in a bigger and bold font. This is directing the audience straight to the sponsoring , the company's name , and the slogan. The way the main information is in circles help summarise the article for people who are not as literate as others and helps draw the audience…

    Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex, pose a significant health risk to the patient, or fail to heal properly.Bone generally has the ability to regenerate completely but requires a very small fracture space or some sort of scaffold to do so. Bone grafts may be autologous harvested from the patient’s own body, often from the allograft or synthetic with similar mechanical properties to bone. Most bone grafts are expected to be reabsorbed and replaced as the natural bone heals over a few months’ time.…

    In this experiment, I learned the process that is used to measure how much energy is in different foods. Nuts are a natural energy filled snack. They contain a lot of energy or calories. We hear every day people talking about eating too many calories, but I didn't know exactly what that meant. What does it mean to eat too many calories? But in the case of nuts, if one nut has 4 calories, and someone eats 30 nuts, they just had 120 calories. This is considered a healthy amount. However, if someone eats 100 nuts, then that's 400 calories, and that can be too much.…
