In the story "The Red Bow" by George Saunders, we learn of a town that gets together in order to kill a massive number of dogs due to the death of a girl who was bitten by a rabid dog.
The man who organizes such killing is Uncle Matt. Despite the fact that the measures he suggests are extreme, many of the people of the town support Uncle Matt's decision. One of the main reasons why this happens is because Uncle Matt is able to appeal to the people's emotions. He does this through the use of a red bow as a symbol for the life that was lost. He also achieves this by highlighting the importance of community and unity in the life of the town.
There are many examples of real-life situations in which grief or strong emotions cause people to take extreme measures. An example is the terrorist group IRA that developed in Ireland. This group took extreme measures in order to achieve their goals, including assassinations and bombs. Their actions were caused by the anger and grief they felt towards the English domination of Ireland.

The modifier "<em>As the next manager of Pizza Perfection</em>" is a dangling modifier.
A dangling modifier is a grammatical construct that is ambiguous, for it is not clearly and logically conected to the word it is intended to modify. Therefore, it can be confused as a modifier of a word other than the one intended, or of no word at all. In the case at hand, the phrase seems to be modifying the subject, "you", when, in reality, it is refering to the speaker.
A good correction would be, for example:
"You said you wanted thicker crusts and cheesier pizzas. <em>As </em><em>I am</em><em> the next manager of Pizza Perfection</em>, you will get pizza as near to perfect as we can make it."
