The essay is all about Sleep Deprivation. Time and again, Sora Song describes the effects of not getting enough sleep, using different words each time.

 

The author uses at least 25 words and phrases to describe sleep, rest, or lack of sleep (sleep deprivation).

 

Just saying the word "sleep" doesn't count, but "a good night's sleep," and "sleep starvation" do count, because they're either familiar or unfamiliar phrases used to describe sleep.

I've posted the first few phrases, along with the citation technique I want you to follow.

 

For Example:

Paragraph 2, Line 5:

     "slumber"

Paragraph 6, Line 1:

     "perpetually underrested"

 

When you've identified all or most of the list, the rest of you can earn points by commenting about why an author needs so many ways to say the same thing (and to what degree the different phrases actually are the same thing, to what degree they're not).
