Running For His Life

From Texas Monthly: "Ten years ago, before he came to Texas and established himself as a world-class marathoner, Gilbert Tuhabonye cheated death at the hands of tribal warriors by running for his life. Now he wants you to run for yours."


For my English III classes, please read the article Running For His Life by Michael Hall.  Originally published in August of 2003, it provides an account of the genocide in Rwanda as seen through the experience of Gilber Tuhabonye.  Please read and be ready to discuss.  I would like you to focus on appeals to pathos and logos, narrative pacing, and organization.  Please feel free to add any comments before class.

    I can't figure out how to read the rest. The fake info didn't work for me.
