Jessica's introduction begins with the following statement:
"We've all walked across
campus at night, taking the shortcuts that get us to the library in the shortest amount of
time. We've walked in the pathways behind the student union—you know, the ones by
the chapel? It's dark, and a bit scary at times, but campus is a safe place, right? Guess
again. Last week, on that same path I've taken time and time again over the past two
years, a female student was attacked and robbed. Her name is Jessica, and she's in my
Algebra class. Two men jumped her, hit her, and stole her backpack, wallet, and jewelry.
They took more than Jessica's ‘stuff,' though; they stole her sense of security, and they
took mine, too." What goals of an introduction did Jessica achieve with this introductory
