Anthrax can be transmitted from animals to humans, and vis-versa. The cows were already infected with the disease, so the farmer wanted to make sure none of his visitors got the dreadful disease as well. “ I know it’s a matter of time until i die “ he said feeling depressed. He was barefoot, like he always was, and he stepped on something.
He sat down and looked at his foot. He thought it was a pebble, so he threw it into the soil and buried it like he would any other pebble that bit his foot. It then started to rain, so Ralph went

One day, Colton and Melissa were on a walk through their corn field when they stumbled upon a meadow and found a soft plant. “ What is this weird fuzzy plant? “ said Melissa. “ I don’t know “ said Colton. “ Should we take take it home? “ said Melissa. “ Sure “ said Colton. So Colton and Melissa walked home and planed the strange object and sure enough, it grew into something amazing.
The next morning, Melissa woke up and walked outside to see if the strange stuff grew into something new. It did and Melissa was super happy. She ran inside to wake up Colton and he was surprised. He ran outside and was picking the stuff out of the ground. He went inside and started grounding it all up in a grinding bowl and it turned into a dough. He then put it into the oven. He waited an hour until he smelled something amazing. He pulled it out of the oven and sat it down on the table. He tried to dig in, but he burned himself because the strange thing was too hot. He then waited an hour and then went back into the room and sat down at the table. He then took a bite and his eyes lit up. “ Come here Melissa! “ “ Try this.” said Colton. So Melissa took a bite. “ WOW! “ said

    After a while on the island under Ralph’s rule, the boys get tired of working all day long and decide to join Jack’s tribe. Jack has a contrasting view of life on the island and his tribe just hunts and feasts. They do not even have shelters. Ralph and Piggy are the last to switch over to Jack’s tribe and when they do, all of the boys start chanting the hunting song they made up. “The beast struggled forward, broke the ring and fell over the steep edge of the rock to the sand by the water. At once the crowd surged after it, poured down the rock, leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore” (Goulding 213). After the boys killed Simon, Ralph realized what he did was wrong and he left Jack’s tribe. This shows that bad people can get good people to do evil things, but the person will always be good at heart.…

    He presents stories that show the unfortunate situations or events that come with the fast food industry triggering an emotional response from his audience. In Chapter 9, Schlosser tells the story of a boy named Alex who was infected with E. Coli O157:H7 from a contaminated hamburger. The descriptive narration makes an impactful argument by showing how the current unsanitary conditions in slaughtering houses can affect one’s health. He colorfully illustrates the boys physical account showing how his reaction “ progressed to diarrhea that filled a hospital toilet with blood. …Toward the end, Alex suffered hallucinations and dementia, no longer recognizing his mother or father. Portions of his brain had been liquefied..." (Schlosser 200). By using the vivid details of the effect E. Coli had on this six-year old boy, fear is elicited from adult readers. Their children may be subjected to the harmful pathogen if they continually turn a blind eye from where their meat is obtained. To further emphasize his point of the spread of bacteria via meat and the need for change in the industry he states, “You 'd be better off eating a carrot stick that fell in you toilet than one that fell in your sink" (Schlosser 221). The bold, imaginative statement taps into the reader’s senses leaving them with a feeling of…
