    My Year Of Meats Analysis

    • 1139 Words

    My Year of Meats has a particular way to display a genre in ways that other novels do not have with her unique way of presenting, Ruth Ozeki uses “meat” not just in the title but as a way that women (like Akiko) believe that they’re seen as which is cattle, I saw the metaphorical “equation” as body = meat and women = cattle. Ozeki also, most likely, did not put the clear use of cause and effect based on the fact that non-literal connections can be made about men towards women and cattle. Also, Ozeki had written this not only to read the fictional story of Akiko but to see a bigger picture of her culture and how people’s differences don't matter and to get past those differences of a person. The particular use of meat throughout the novel has…

    Together Against Meat Jonathan Safran Foer’s essay “Against Meat” provides the reader with information on why he became a vegetarian after years of “being a vegetarian” but eating meat once in a while; the essay starts off with his childhood memories at his grandmother’s house and her obsession with food due to the lack of it in World War II.

There was a shock that shattered the calm with the publication of Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” (Davidson & Lytle, 2005, p. 235). The discontent of the time was the greed of big businesses. Concern centered on how the meat packing industry operated and distributed the meats for consumption. “Sinclair told of men in cooking rooms who fell into vats and, after being cooked for days, all but the bones had gone out into the world as Durham’s Pure Leaf Lard!”…

Many companies show they care by making changes in animal production to give a more relaxed environment and more humane slaughter methods.
