Refuge Epilogue by Terry Tempest Williams Blog #3

I enjoyed this essay by Terry Tempest Williams more than the other essay we had previously read. It was so sad to hear about her family. I like how she used that to her advantage to prove her point. Especially when she is describing their sickness, what they went through, and what she had to do for them. She left you feeling a bit angry at the government for the treatment of these people. I also liked how she incorporated a kind of dream sequence into the end of the essay. She then continues with saying that some of it isn’t a dream and they did really trespass and go into mercury. She is obviously a very brave and opinionated woman, especially to go against her religion that holds authority so highly. However, she does make a good argument that going again authority was very necessary here.
