Writing is a way of communication. People read for various reasons ranging from fun to long-term research. Knowing your target audience and choosing the right language, words, and format for your audience is very crucial to get the desirable outcome out of the audience. This essay will analyze and compare the Sindya N. Bhando's article “Bird Eggs Are Fertilized by More Than One Sperm” published in New York Times, and a scientific jargon “Polyspermy in birds: sperm numbers and embryo survival” by N. Hemmings, T. R. Birkhead. Despite both authors write about one topic, there are differences in the choice of the language, format, and the evidence to support their argument that authors choose to approach the audience of their interest with
Even though the titles of both articles are almost identical in the meaning, the article “Bird Eggs Are Fertilized by More …show more content…
Despite both articles include evidence along the text, the evidence and they way they are provided is very different. The New York Times article Bird Eggs Are Fertilized by More Than One Sperm” by Sindya N. Bhando supports its topic by citing a quote of Nicola Hemmings “In humans and mammals, you only need one sperm to penetrate the egg,” said Nicola Hemmings, an evolutionary biologist (Sindya, 2015) and discussing the result from a study that was not conducted by an author herself. Dr. Hemmings and her colleagues studied eggs from zebra finches and chickens. The researchers found that when few sperm penetrated the egg, the bird embryo was unlikely to survive. Moreover, Sindya N. Bhando fails to include a bibliography at the end of the text. “Polyspermy in birds: sperm numbers and embryo survival” by N. Hemmings, T. R. Birkhead gives a detailed explanation of the study conducted by an author
