Subject : The subject is motivation and dedication towards a goal because Martine never gave up on herself or her teammates when entering the Paralympics. She trained and put forth the hard work to make it that far without two legs and recovering from a coma. Her goal was met and is still working hard at it till this day on.
Tone: The tone of the article is information and serious due to the topic discussed. It makes individuals realize the happy and enjoyable moments in life rather than the entire negative. You always have to be prepared for the worst because you never know what will happen that day. Thank God every day for waking you up and seeing another day.
