Looks like a sunset is a text that a Women has wrote about her and her husband. It is about how they met, and how they got married. Throughout the writer would show how her husband was violent, Further more how at the same time he is a kind and generous person. The author would take you between two worlds that the couple are living she would take you through a world where it is all tears of pain, More over she would also take you through a tour to see a loving family and a warm home. When the author would describe their happy moments and how they endured through hardships. The reader would think to them self how a strong couple like that would have great problems. This arrives us at the writer’s goal. In my opinion the writer wanted to show that no matter how strong relationships are. As long as he is violent he is a demon that a person can not live with. True love is something you fight for, but it is a two mans job.
It will look like a sunset raw draft:
In the article, “It will look like a sunset,” by Kelly Sundberg, she uses Flash backs and dialog to tell her story and display the significance of domestic violence.
The author for the article wrote this article with the determination to change people’s life by telling her experience. To give it deeper meaning and to be able to get it through to the reader, she used a compare and contrast style, while she was writing about the main issue domestic violence she also told the happy part of her life. It was like she was saying there is no happiness without sadness, but there is a limit of what someone can go through and that domestic violence makes you feel like you’re living with a monster. There was one part where she would tell a flash back of what she was feeling when she was abused that would make anyone who read it feel like he was there, when she said “I went into a cave when he hit me. I curled into my body like a slug, then traveled into a deep darkness where I felt nothing. I heard his voice, his fists, and the blasts in my ears from the blows to the side of my head. I heard my own screaming.” That would make you feel that you are in her shoes. Furthermore when she would talk about her happy memories she would also get you to feel the warmth that that family had when she said “Sometimes, when I’m cooking dinner by myself, I can feel the way he would lay his head on my shoulder while I stirred a pot, the way he would turn me around and kiss me, tell me how much he loved my cooking, how beautiful I was, how lucky he was”. In my opinion the writer was trying to show that even if a person is kind and nice it does not give him a reason to act like a monster and abuse another person.
Moreover Kelly used Dialog in her article which gave it a lot of strength. When reading the dialog it is like you are present in the incident and you are able to hear what is going on especially when “That’s bad. That looks broken,” he said. “Ma’am, does your husband have a phone number we can reach him at? We need him to come back.” You can feel that the cops face suddenly changed in surprise. By using these techniques she was able to get her point through and make everyone who reads it thinks of the issue. Especially since everyone knows that domestic violence is bad but not everyone knows what it feels like to be abused. While she was able to get that trough.

The article It will look like a sunset is an article that can take you through a journey to understand what it feels like. The author used various techniques, and was able to pass on the feelings to the readers. Furthermore awareness is needed to solve such an issue. More over awareness is needed to be able to effect people. In this article the author tells her story of how she got married, how the husband abused her, where they lived, and what was her opinion of him. She also explains how they got to that point. In the article, “It will look like a sunset,” by Kelly Sundberg, she uses Flash backs and dialogue to tell her story and display the significance of domestic violence.

In addition to flashbacks, Sundberg used Dialogue in her article which gave it a lot of strength. When reading the dialog it is like you are present in the incident and you are able to hear what is going on especially when “That’s bad. That looks broken,” he said. “Ma’am, does your husband have a phone number we can reach him at? We need him to come back.” You can feel that the cops face suddenly changed in surprise. By using these techniques she was able to get her point through and make everyone who reads it thinks of the issue. Especially since everyone knows that domestic violence is bad but not everyone knows what it feels like to be abused. While she was able to get that trough. The part that also got to me and made me feel bad for her was, “The young policeman told me, “It’s alright. My wife and I fight. Things get crazy. Sometimes you just need time apart.” I nodded my head in agreement, but I wanted to ask, “Do you beat your wife, too?””. It just shows you that people can seem strong and patient, but deep down they might be broken and fragile.
In conclusion this article really can effect a lot of people. The author was able to get her points, and her feelings through to the reader. By using flash backs and dialogue she was able to pass her feelings through. To be able to get the reader to be able to live the events like he/she was there is an amazing step. From my analysis to Sundberg’s article I find her an amazing writer. I would say that by using the flashback and dialogue she was able to display the significance of domestic violence.
