During this chapter of The Omnivore’s Dilemma Pollan talks about fast food. This means that he is speaking to people who regularly eat fast food and those who are wondering what is in their food when they order out.

I am responding to the request to analyze Radley Balko’s article, “What You Eat Is Your Business” and make a recommendation for or against publication in The Shorthorn at University of Texas at Arlington. In order to respond, I have examined the rhetorical appeals of Balko’s piece and determined why this article should be posted in the next edition of The Shorthorn. I believe that the Shorthorn audience would be interested in what is being discussed regarding of obesity, things that could potentially affect their lifestyle as well as the professors. In “What You Eat Is Your Business”, Balko claims that obesity is the responsibility of the individual not the government, and how our government is allowing American to live an unhealthy lifestyle

Persuasive essays are seldom effective without the use of literary techniques. In addition, the majority of effective persuasive essays also employ persuasive techniques along with style elements.

The persuasive techniques and style elements of hyperbole, example, imagery, and simile, all contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of “Young Hunger”.
Joyce Carol Oates has an incredible amount of skill when is comes to writing, and her short story Landfill encapsulates her knowledge of story-telling. The first sentences grabs the attention of the reader and id not set free until the end of the piece. The way in which Oates transports the reader through the events, going back and forth from making them seem like a current event or those of the past, is entertaining to read and masterfully executed in the writing. The inclusion of what feel like really testimonies of events and quotations of those grieving feel authentic. There is however, one problem; these portions of text feel authentic but distant. There is no sympathy or empathy from the writer for her own work. The characters and writing
“Is it any wonder that the slogan the advertising people came up with was “The Sooner You Believe It, the Sooner We Can End It”?”. Anna Quindlen has chosen to write about child hunger in America. She persuades her readers effectively because of her use of logos, pathos, and ethos.
Manipulation of language can be a weapon of mind control and abuse of power.

“The pen is mightier than the sword.” This is a popular saying that explains that, sometimes, in order to persuade or convince people, one should not use force but words. In Animal Farm, by George Orwell, animals overthrow the human leader and start a new life, but some animals want to become the new leaders. To make the other animals obey the pigs, they first have to persuade the farm’s population. Squealer is the best pig for this job because he effectively convinces the animals to follow Napoleon by using different rhetorical devices and methods of persuasion.
David Robson unites chocolate lovers and ecologists alike with his article asking if junk food is better than healthy food for the environment. He researches the carbon footprint for the production of one hundred calories of food. He doesn’t include any macromolecules in his research, his research is aimed purely at measuring the ratio between carbon dioxide production and calories. Regrettably he reminds readers that this is not an excuse for a root canal, but a thought to keep in the back of our minds when we consider a well-balanced diet (Robson, David). The general field of study his article best represents is Ecology. It relates to the information covered in the textbook and this course through metabolism and ecosystems.
