Dramatic STATEMENTS!

One way to make a statement more dramatic is to provide a list of the various "hats" a subject wears. I see this done mostly when someone (usually on Twitter) is trying to make others feel guilty or sad about something. "That's not just an anonymous poster you're insulting, it's somebody's brother, someone's son, a father, a husband!"

For example, when Naya Rivera was still missing, before the body turned up, you'd see posters crying to the authority(s' Twitter account) that "My heart is breaking! A young woman, a mother, a daughter, an actor, a niece, a wife, a taxpayer, a lapsed Catholic is missing! Find her!!!" Like it wasn't bad _enough_ that Naya was missing. It seems to be used to make whatever the subject more dramatic and evoke more emotion.

How are some other ways that simple statements are made MORE DRAMATIC?????!?

After making the statement, throwing piss provides a truly dramatic crescendo.
