conserve, reuse, recycle

I think that Samrau's main point is in the sentence "Have you figured out yet that I'm going as a cadaver, an anatomical gift? Hopefully, I won't be admitted soon, but when I do go it will be a fulfillment of my childhood dream of going to med school."
I think that Samrau did a good job of trying to convince people to donate their bodies to science without flat out saying it.  He still got his point across but did it in a very subtle way.  His intent was to convince people to donate their bodies to science after they die so they can reuse it.  When he hides his point in this story it helps support him because it shows some background on why he wanted to be a cadaver.  This helps us see that he was fascinated with people who did this job when he was young and now he is able to do this job that he has always wanted to do.  So, in this case his style of writing helps because it helps you appreciate the reason he is going to medical school.  His way of hiding the message is very interesting and it helps the reader become more intrigued in the writing.  The quote earlier helps us better understand that he has always wanted to donate his body to science and has always wanted to go to medical school.  It is very interesting that he never fully says to donate your body, but by the end of the reading you understand that that truly is his main point.
