Embalming Mr. Jones Meaning
1. The purpose of the embalming and restoration of corpse in the United States and
Canada is to make the corpse look presentable for viewing. This process helps the
grieving see the corpse in a manner of what they used to look like or normality. You
could say it is a way of using restorative art on a corpse. Purpose and Audience 2. The chief assumption about Mitford’s readers on the subject embalming would be the readers do not know what goes on during the embalming process. There are many steps to this procedure. Those steps include injecting, cutting, scrapping, sewing, drilling, patching, filling, painting, and various other steps that will occur during embalming.
Method and Structure
2. Mitford did explain the process of embalming and restoration. I found the
explanation she gave broke it down to where I could visually see it, which led to me
understanding the process. I also believe she did not use the medical terms that could
confuse the average person who knows nothing about the process of embalming and
restoration. The main steps in conducting the embalming and restoration process begin
with laying the body out in the morgue. The removal of blood is the second step. The
embalming fluid is pumped through the arteries of the body. The third step is taking a
trocar and inserting into the abdomen and withdrawing the fluid. Those fluids are
replaced with cavity fluid. The next step would be the restoration process. This step
consists of taking a hypodermic syringe that is loaded with massage cream and fills the
hollowed and sunken areas by injection. The application of masking paste and cosmetics
will be used to take away blemishes or discoloration. The corpse will be shaved, washed,
and dressed for the viewing pleasure of his guest.

Meaning
2. The key point in the statement, “She made long rambling prayers out of suffering
and hope, having seen many things,” means to me she had a hard life and she witnessed
many things good and bad in her life. She never forgot about her prayer and always
hoped for the best. She did this through prayer. The concept of prayer and the connection
to the essay is when you have prayer it can help you bring hope and calmness in your
life.
Purpose and Audience

path of life your loved one traveled. The ups and downs that person faced throughout
their life. The ancestry of your loved one is unique. You should try to remember where
they came from and know the history of your family. It will make you appreciate them
even more when they are gone.
