Wollen's Speech Analysis

Improved Essays
Walsh’s Article is more effective than Wollen’s speech because of his tone and emotional connection to the audience. Although seemingly harsh Walsh’s tone allows readers to picture his meaningful examples. Walsh felt the need to find a solution for unhealthy eating habits and mistreatment of the farm animals. He does this by making his point vivid with “packed in so tightly with other swine that their curly tails have been chopped off so they won’t bite one another” (Walsh 469). Walsh uses the story in the beginning of the article to deeply connect with the audience. Unlike Walsh’s various emotional appeals, Wollen only uses a few. “I had heard these screams before…[from] the dying mother whale as a Japanese harpoon explodes in her brain as

    The first speech I read was FDR's speech to Congress; but then I decided to look it up and see if there was any type of video available there was. Being able to hear his voice and the way he spoke was I feel better than reading the actual speech because I was able to see the way he spoke was great. He was able to rally his fellow Americans together. FDR declaring war upon Japan was similar to Germanys because they were both declaring war on their so called "enemies". I feel that the tone of FDR's speech was positive even though the country was going through a hard time.…

    Eating animals has been a regular meal for humans for many centuries, but it has also been opposed by veganists for many years. Although consuming animals has been opposed by vegan aficionados, it has also been a source of controversy because of how factory farming produces the meat we eat in our daily meals. In the book “Eating Animals” we get the sense that the author will be arguing and encouraging veganism, but instead he argues about how the meat we consume is produced. The author Jonathan Safran Foer’s main claim in the book is about boycotting animal factory farming and encouraging traditional husbandry because factory farm animals are stuffed with antibiotics, mutilated, tightly confined, and deprived of stimulation. While traditional…

    In Michael Pollan’s “An Animal’s Place” Pollan provides an argument on whether or not Americans should consume animals, and specifically, if the fashion in which animals are farmed and slaughtered respects their capacity to suffer. Pollan illustrates his personal dilemma particularly when he ironically points his debate on whether or not to eat meat began while he was dining at a steakhouse. To develop his argument, Pollan initially exclusively uses the citation of animal rights activists, but then gradually cites experts that support his conclusion that Americans eat animals as long as the principle behind it is correct, and animals are treated with respect. He asserts to accomplish respecting animals that Americans need to regain their contact…
