    Redwall Symbolism

    "Mice are my heroes because, like children, mice are little and have to learn to be courageous and use their wits." --Brian Jacques. Redwall, a stunning and rich book written by Brian Jacques, is pure bliss when reading. Although Redwall is a fantasy book, it portrays a rather medieval age feeling; and Brian Jacques is able to instantly set this with his archaic vocabulary. The main characters of this book include: Abbot Mortimer, Asmodeus Poisonteeth, Basil Stag Hare, Cluny the Scourge and his horde, Methuselah, and Matthias(all of the characters in Redwall are anthropomorphic animals-- they act and communicate like humans).…

    Genetically Modified Organisms: A Rhetorical Analysis

    The author, Matthew Feldmann identifies that there have been recent arguments about the safety of GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms. He particularly notes that most debate has come in the areas of crops, specifically rice and soybeans, some of the staple crops of diets worldwide. He uses the rhetorical device of logos, a way of persuading the targeted audience by employing reason or logic, by claiming that although “foods derived from GM crops have been consumed by hundreds of millions of people across the world for more than 15 years,” the public remains mostly uninformed of what GM plants actually are, thereby unknowing of the potential advantages, disadvantages, and range of applications for which they can be used (Key, Ma, Drake).…

    Lord Of The Flies Argumentative Essay

    According to Thomas J. Watson, “If we do not take advantage of our opportunity, it is our own fault.” The novel, “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding, is about the boy’s freedom using many archetypical objects on the island without adults and rules of civilization during World War-II. The author agrees according to looking at human experiences that if given opportunities to start all over again, humans will be the same again. By saying this he means related to novel if boys were given to start again their society and properly civilized on island, there will no difference and things will go worst.

    Genetically Modified Organism: A Rhetorical Analysis

    For years, there has been a serious debate regarding whether genetically modified foods are safe for consumption. Due to this seemingly everlasting controversy came the rise of pro-GMO and anti-GMO groups. To truly understand the severity of the issue, it is important to first understand what exactly a “GMO” is and why it supposedly poses a threat to civilization. A Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is an organism in which “genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially placed into another plant or animal” (Institute for Responsible Technology). Doing so allows for a crop to grow at a higher yield and lower cost.…

    GMO Labeling Chapter Summary

    And to no surprise many GE manufactures at that time were spending millions and millions of dollars to advertise the defeat of this labeling initiative. But as chapter 14 points out ways to a better and more safer future it is clear that Druker does not want to see labeling as the motive we should be aiming for as consumers, but rather we should want GE foods to be banned as quickly as possible. Not only are these products illegally on the market but till this day they have not been able to provide solid evidence to whether or not GE foods are safe to consume. The approach we should be aiming for is the development of Agroecological methods of production, which includes organic foods. Not only does this approach use less inputs it is able…

    Gmos Argumentative Essay

    When it comes to the topic of GMOs, most of us readily agree that it’s a debatable topic. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of whether GMOs are safe to eat. Whereas some are convinced that GMOs are safe and offer many benefits in foods such as corn and soybeans, while others maintain that the unnatural process of how GMOs are created may cause cancer. Those unfamiliar with this school of thought may be interested to know that it basically boils down to how we look at GMOs. Though I concede that GMOs are harmful to humans, animals and the environment, I still insist that GMOs offer benefits as well.…
