What happened

If you’re anything like me, your mood could be inextricably linked to your hair color.

Why it matters

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Exaggeration / Hyperbole, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
