stench- talking about the Auschwitz camps- negative
aroma- more nice
acutely aware- more positive rather than saying, I am not aware, my feelings don't matter
cringe- a more negative kind of embarrassing feeling

The style is formal, and her tone is very simple and direct, but she also demonstrates sympathy. She uses very complex language, indicating she has a lot of knowledge

I think the author is credible, but only to an extent. Her interpretation of the case is based on how she practices her religion. Her beliefs in God influence her understanding of Patrick Sonnier.

I chose this nonfiction book because I am interested in law and the justice system. Since a nun is involved, that is another thing that drew my attention, because I am catholic. I am interested to see how my interests and religion are in one book.
