Write a paragraph discussing the shis in Gawande’s essay between the spectator and participant roles.
1. Find signs throughout the essay, such as Gawande’s use of the first- or third person perspective, that help you recognize where the author has taken on these two roles. Keep track of these moments.
2. What do you notice about when Gawande shis from one perspective to the other? How do these different kinds of observations contribute to his explanation of incremental care?
3. What advantages or disadvantages do you see in Gawande taking on the roles of both spectator and participant? What would have been gained or lost had Gawande chosen to maintain one role throughout?
