Miner

In the article “Body Ritual Among the Nacirema,” Miner successfully persuades the audience that American’s fixation and obsession with the body’s appearance and well-being is absurd by using pathos to help persuade the readers to think the same way. He is able to achieve this by allowing his readers to form a view of this “tribe” before they realize mid-way through the essay that this article about people with bizarre customs and rituals are actual modern-day American’s. The author is writing…

war era, which is the Colorado coal-miner strike of 1913-1914, the Ludlow battle/massacre and Ten Day Coalfield War. Thomas Andrews argues in his book that these incidents cannot be seen in isolation or as separate events, but as the climax of half a century of struggle within the lower class and immigrants of the nation. Andrews argues this through a specific treatment of the environment, particularly in the standard of the working conditions that the miners are subjected to and the…

they found the gold and where the settlement was where all the miners lived. “Those who made it across the passes found themselves at Bennett Lake.” This piece of text shows that only some actually made it across the harsh journey for gold. But the miners face another problem of actually mining the gold because the gold wasn't at the top of the surface it was around ten feet below the surface. This article mainly showed how the miners became what they called…

These miners endure these conditions to earn a measly $750 a month, a sharp contrast to the booming profits of the jewelry and gold industries. These subsistence miners collectively generate a black market valued at $2.5 billion and the Peruvian government struggles to regulate this industry. These miners are also exposed to the dangers of mercury, which they come into direct contact with due to lack of…

Mine workers would strike to try to get higher pay. The mine workers who were upset by Chinese refusing to join the miners’ strike for better pay, and the Union Pacific for allowing the Chinese to work for a great profit, attacked and killed their Chinese coworkers and wounded others, including burning their homes on September 2, 1885. The coal miners working in the Union Pacific coal mine had struggled to come together as a labor union and strike for better working conditions for…

Miners should Prepare these kind of computer facilities and spend a lot of time and electricity on mining. While the number of miners and blocks is growing, the amount of time and money that should be spent, are also increasing, and the amount of reward is declining.

enforcement was in play. The third party enforcement was the miners who punish the violator, which they acted independently. However, the authors appeals to pathos by drawing attention on how “third-party enforcement was essentially a public good, and suffered from classic problems of undersupply and free-riding. Miners often had to fight or risk losing their claims” (Clay and Wright 17). Clay and Wright show the emotion by describing how the miners who punished the violator are at a risk of…

allows the audience to relate to the plight of miners whose health and livelihood is completely at the mercy of these dispassionate conglomerates. Repetition also emphasises the unbreakable cycle that miners find themselves trapped in. Within 'Blue Sky Mine' symbolism depicts both the workers and the company involved in the infamous Wittenoom Mine disaster. The workers' "sweat keeps on feeding the engine" representing the tireless work of the miners and the way their lives are regarded as little…

On August 5, 2010 a ramp into the San Jose mine in Chile’s Atacama Desert collapsed, leaving 33 miners trapped more than 2,000 feet underground. The men were working inside a mountain, excavating for gold and other minerals when they started feeling vibrations. There was a huge explosion and after the dust settled, miners discovered that a block of stone had broken off from the rest of the mountain and fell through the layers of the mine, causing a chain reaction as the mountain above it began…

is clear to see how the miners have conflict with the company, the scabs, and with themselves, and how the miners come together within their own group and with the scabs. Each of these interactions impact the fight for the miner’s basic human rights against the company men either for bad or for good. The first three-quarters of the book is filled with conflict as people try to figure out what is going on, how to deal with their problems, and who their friends are. The miners realize that they…
