Vegetarian's Epilogue: A Tale Of Wealth

673 Words3 Pages

Georg stopped attempting to see their rescuers. He struggled to grasp the fact that his saviour was in fact his mortal enemy by nature. In his heart, he felt like an enormous blade pierced through his heart and was now overcoming his rational thought. Suddenly, shivers ran through his spine because he knew that the grim reaper was coming closer every second. Neither he nor Ulrich spoke, they listened in fear as the howl of the pack steadily grew closer. “How many were there?” Georg whispered. “I don’t know for sure, but I’d guess somewhere around thirty.” The feeling of hopelessness was weighing down on their shoulders, it was a painful moment of misery for the two men. “I thought you said your men were only a few minutes behind you?” Ulrich said ending the prolonged silence as the wolves paused in their blood chilling wail. “And yours were soon to follow also,” Georg replied, They both knew that since their men were still struggling to find him, it is unlikely that they will ever be found. …show more content…

Ulrich was frightened just by looking at the alpha male, he couldn’t imagine the animal being defeated by two weakened human beings who were shivering from the cold. The alpha male was very tall, about 2 and a half feet and weighed about 60 pounds. It’s silver fur glistened in the snow and saliva was dripping from its mouth. The way the tree had fallen on the two men gave them sufficient protection. The large protruding branches spread out behind them. Smaller branches provided a wire fence-like wall between the danger and themselves. Presently, they were out of harm’s way, unless the wolf found a way

  • The Jungle, Omnivore's Dilemma And Food, Inc.

    660 Words  | 3 Pages

    As we go through The Jungle, Omnivore’s Dilemma, and Food, Inc., it becomes apparent that all of these publishings target ethos to appeal to their audience. Upton Sinclair uses ethos during the time when he describes workers washing their hands in the water used for the sausage (Sinclair 143). This is bias because it compels the reader into acknowledging that the things going into food is not right, however it does not show any good qualities in the meatpacking industry. Therefore, this affects the reader’s value system because when they were informed of the monstrosities going on within the food industries, it changes their trust towards the industry. Another example of this is Michael Pollan’s bias __ the food industry when he states that

  • Analysis Of The Abundance Of Meat By Margaret Atwood

    483 Words  | 2 Pages

    In both passages, Attwood creates vivid depiction of an abundance of meat by deliberately using a repetition of the word “meat.” In the first passage, the writer uses this repetition to emphasise the overcompensating amount of food provided to the nobles. Contextually, both passages base around the time period where Penelope begins her marital livelihood, therefore alluding to Attwood’s time where women also had expectations thrust upon them to get married and adhere to their husband’s demands without any notion to consider about their own wellbeing. Not unlike the second passage, Attwood chooses to use this form of repetition instead of explicitly stating the huge amount of food laid out for the nobles in order to emphasise the consistency and stability in Penelope’s life. The writer presents to the readers that Penelope is a woman
