“Bottled Insanity” by Michael I. Niman is a very well written opinion regarding the usage of palstic water bottles. This text spefcifically uses the water bottle manufacturer, FIJI, as the main target in this argmuent. His main claim is that production of palstic water bottles hurt the enviroment.

The authors wording here brings pathos appeals into action and forces the reader to feel bad that this bottling company isnt all that good at what it does. This use of pathos is a great tactic of foreshadow before Niman dives into the details talking about the repreecussions of using these water
