Lydia's story


Brideau’s main point came at the end of the story, her point was that despite terrible adversity Lydia had enough determination and hope to face it.    

This story was narrated from a third person point of view, she used words like terrified, storm, rushing, and cramped,  this impacts you because its like you were watching Lydia struggling to survive.

Brideau’s tone was to heath care professionals, her tone was of caring for other people like (in the sun and heat, she and a larger group of other people waited without food or water)

     This story is about a plumber. He was working down in the basement of a house checking pipes for leaks by putting a big rubber balloon in the drain pipe of the house to clog it,(he was not a very skilled plumber because it was the first time he had done any real plumbing before) he inflated the balloon and all worked well their were no leaks, so he went and started deflating the  balloon, then the balloon suddenly popped down on to his hand he was stuck. He fought panic as he sat in the crawl space the only thing he could do was yell for help. After awhile of waiting help finally came, his hand was getting numb.
 
    He still could not get his out of the pipe unless they popped the balloon but the balloon was holding back all the pipes full of water in the entire house if the balloon was popped all the water would be gushing out at him. That was the only way they could get his hand out of the pipe the friend was able to pull him back after he popped the balloon and he put a cap on the pipe and the plumber felt dizzy but in the end he was able to get out of the crawl space without losing his hand. It is amazing how when people are put under pressure they act differently some panic and others are strong.
