Do not set foot in my office. that's dad's rule. but the phone had rung twenty-five times. normal people give up after ten or eleven, unless it's a matter of life or death. don't they? dad's got an answering machine with big reels of tape. but he's stopped leaving it switched on recently. thirty rings, the phone got to. julia couldn't hear it up in her converted attic 'cause "don't you want me? " by human league was thumping out loud. forty rings. mom couldn't hear 'cause the washing machine was on berserk cycle and she was vacuuming the living room. fifty rings. that's just not normal. s'pose dad'd been mangled by a juggernaut on i-10, and the police only had this office number 'cause all his other i. d.'d got incinerated? we could lose our final chance to see our charred father in the terminal ward.
so i went in. dad's office smells of money, papery but metallic too. the blinds were down, so it felt like evening, not ten in the morning. there's a serious clock on the wall, exactly the same make as the serious clocks on the walls at school. there's a photo of dad shaking hands with craig salt when dad got made regional sales director for greenland. (greenland the supermarket chain, not greenland the country.) dad's ibm computer sits on the steel desk. thousands of dollars, ibms cost. the office phone is red like a nuclear hotline, and it's got buttons you push, not the dial you get on normal phones. so anyway, i took a deep breath, picked up the receiver, and said our number. i can say that without stammering, at least. usually. but the person on the other end didn't answer.

which point of view does the author use in this story?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the answer is: poetry.

pathos were used a lot by ronald reagan in his speech which means that he used rhetorical strategies in his speech.its an emotion of sympathetic pity or compassion.the controversy of pathos refers to the emotional appeal of the readers or audiences and he uses it to his full potential in the speech of the challenger astronauts.

“today is a day for mourning and remembering. nancy and i are pained to the core by the tragedy of the shuttle challenger. we know we share this pain with all of the people of our country. this is truly a national loss” (reagan).the above should go as an evidence of pathos being used by ronald reagan.
