Summary Of Hope Jahr's 'Hope'

Put yourself in someone else's shoes. It's a simple phrase, used in many ways. In Hope Jahr’s speech, she proves her message of what kind of work she does by getting the audience to think from another perspective by using comparison throughout. She is getting the audience to view the world and their surroundings in her eyes, as a scientist, and make connections to everyday life. Those listening to Years message, who do not have an understanding of her job, can now open their eyes and realize the importance of what she is conveying. While Years starts her prologue, she starts with the straight facts on the world and the things we do notice every day and what we don't notice.

Years makes the connection of asking questions about leaves, as it is her job, and gets people to start asking the questions that pertain to them. Instead of keeping the stereotype of scientists as boring and complicated, she makes it broader in how it all starts with a few questions that can be simply answered. She takes the idea of looking a little deeper and uses that as the basis of her job. Instead of being head-driven on one thing and having tunnel vision, stop and focus on a new
