Example:
"BETTER WASH YOUR HAND-SCRUB IT GOOD," he said. "AND
THEN RUB ON THE ALCOHOL."
i did as i was told.
"YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE," he said. "I'LL HAVE YOU AT THE HOSPITAL
IN FIVE MINUTES-UNDER TEN MINUTES, TOPS! WHAT'S YOUR BLOOD TYPE?" he asked me; i shook my head--i didn't know my blood type.
Owen laughed "I KNOW WHAT IT IS--YOU DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING! YOU'RE THE SAME TYPE AS ME! IF YOU NEED ANY, YOU CAN HAVE SOME
OF MINE." i couldn't move away from the sink.

Explanation:
John Irving shows Owen Meany's extremely determined tone when he is
trying to get John to the hospital by showing how prepared he wants to be before he gets to the hospital. By commanding John
to wash his hands "GOOD" and apply the alcohol, and also making sure that John's blood type is known just in case he needs
a transfusion shows how determined he is to make sure John is going to be safe and taken care of, even before reaching the
hospital.
