Nietzsche describes the difference between the Apollonian and the Dionysian in The Birth of Tragedy with the words:

Throughout the short story “is your blood as red as this?”, Helen Oyeyemi revises the traditional “Pinocchio” fairytale in which puppets gain sentience, thereby constructing a mind-bending discussion of autonomy, ownership, and control.

Over 42 million Americans are considered to have a severe disability, and 96% of these are hidden (Forbes). Invisible disabilities are impairments that come with few visual identifiers and are unapparent to an outside observer (Boskovich). When these individuals with invisible disabilities are students, they struggle because they do not receive the help they need to succeed. Many students with invisible disabilities either are not identified as having them or choose not to disclose them because of stigma.

Audience Analysis: My audience for this persuasive essay is young people who are interested/involved in the environmental movement already. My paper will probably be more accessible for those at a high-school age or older, and I want to focus on the age range between 15-25 to target a Gen-Z audience. However, I welcome all readers who are interested in climate change, indigenous issues, or human rights issues in the United States.
