Analysis Of The Article 'Found In Pig Farm' By Richard Dunn

Improved Essays
1. Dunn makes the article easier for not scientist people to understand, by using common language to explain the houseflies, feces, and bacterial studies. He avoids the use of complex terms and tangled processes; instead, he explains in a way that common people could easily understand without having to look for definitions.
“Coby and his colleagues found fecal bacteria in 93.7% of the flies at the pig farm.” Flies contain more dirt than I thought. “As an evolutionary side effect when pigs are feed hose antibiotics their weak bacteria…die.” I didn’t know how that bacteria found in pigs feces is immune, because of the antibiotics found in pig’s food.

    In the excerpt from Ed Yong’s book I Contain Multitudes, he artistically argues the importance of studying microbiomes, in relation to other scientific disciplines. To craft his argument, he uses analogies to show the likeness between the Earth’s ecosystems and human internal body functions, personifies small organisms to evoke compassion from the reader, and utilizes the personal pronoun “we” to create a sense of social cohesion. The study of microbes is often neglected due to the apparent minuscule effect it has on humans, but Ed Yong persistently drew comparisons between the small microbes and the grandness of Earth’s ecosystems. He lists the various ecosystems in the world, ranging from rainforests to salt marshes, and directly after uses a parallel sentence structure to list the “ecosystems” in the human body.…
