The waitress…

In the article “Consider the Lobster” by David Foster Wallace and “Let Them Eat Dog” by Jonathan Safran Foer, use different argumentative strategies in an effort to persuade the readers to not eat lobster or animals in general.

Unlike Wallace, Foer takes a much different approach using sarcastic tone, an…

Employee Training and Development.

It doesn’t matter what process it took us to be born. The strange thing is that we are born the same way, but we aren’t all treated equally. We human have split among ourselves from our animal friends. We human consider ourselves the dominant species because we can think, speak, and we have hands with opposable thumbs. Although we…
