”If you knew this might be that time, this could be the end, this may be the very last hour you have to spend, what would you do? And what if the hour, with all its horror and loss, its panic and shock, still somehow gave you a choice--to fly from risk, to escape, to live” (Rinaldi 96).
This quote causes the reader to think about how they would act in the last moments of their life. Welles was one of those who chose to stay and help, but this excerpt makes the reader think about what they would choose to do. This inspires change because the hypothetical scenario puts the reader in a situation with their moral compass, which causes them to want to help.
