In order to establish a stronger relationship between humans and food, and allow the humans to know what they are actually eating, Pollan uses different rhetorical analysis includes different appealing strategies and various literary devices, which contribute to persuade people to comprehend the deeper meaning behind the

This paper analyzes Dr. Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”. Dr. Randy Pausch was a professor of computer science, human-computer interaction and design at the Carnegie Mellon University. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2006 and delivered his last lecture on September 18, 2007 in front of his colleagues and students in the McConomy Auditorium at the university. In his presentation, he gave advice to students on how to achieve their own goals based on his lessons learned. He spoke of his past experiences and was upbeat and humorous during the presentation. He gained his audience’s attention in the best way possible i.e. by relieving stress. He opened with a joke about the title of the lecture series and later did a series of pushups. This technique was effective as it diverted his audience’s attention from his illness to the gist of his talk.

For example, one of the discussion boards asked us to detail
Nutritionalism is a topic that is widely researched around the globe, but even more so in America. The topic of healthy food is not only being researched but also heavily debated upon: whether one kind of food is any healthier than another.
