Zeina Condon's Narrative Paper About Neutering

682 Words3 Pages

In Zeina Condon’s narrative paper, she writes about her kitten receiving erections after being neutered. More importantly, she mentions how she did not know what was going on with her cat, and had to discover that he was simply having erections after being neutered. Almost all of the facts and events within Zeina’s narrative were true. However, her paper suggests that she, and her family, were extremely concerned and worried about her kitten’s safety and health. After thorough investigation, Zeina and her family did not experience a significant amount of concern or fear, if any. In addition, Zeina also made several factual claims about cats’ health in general, without any research or evidence to back up her claims. Rather, Zeina made factual claims in her paper based on her personal opinion. …show more content…

For example, she stated that neutering is beneficial to cats health. However, while discussing her narrative Zeina stated “I am not actually sure about this, but I included it in my essay anyway,” Upon further research, neutering does not affect cats medically in any positive way. In fact, neutering cats, only improves their behavior and can create rare medical complications and side-effects (Pros and Cons of Spaying and Neutering in Cats). Also, Zeina stated that she discovered that her kitten was simply having erections, rather than a medical issue, from a website titled “Kitten Erections: Are They Normal?” However, she later admitted that she did not remember what website she learned about cat erections on, so simply made up the title. In fact, Zeina stated that the title probably did not mention erections at all. But since she was making up a title, she decided to make it funny. So, Zeina’s narrative included factual inaccuracies, based simply on opinion, and a desire to make the paper more

    The Rhetorical Zenith of the Color Pink “The Problem With Pink” by Peggy Orenstein attempts to convey the message to society that people should not advocate for a campaign that only shows a one-sided opinion: early detection using mammograms will increase the survival rate of breast cancer.

She is known for her wide-ranging feminist writing about everything from princess culture to breast cancer. Therefore, it is inferred that her audience are most likely females and the general public regarding issues affecting women.

    Critics have claimed that the results from an animal cannot generalize over to people, and while this can be true, assumptions about human behavior based on animal research takes into consideration data from descriptive as well as experimental studies with people. The second objection to animal research is that it has no practical value as the research only provides facts that are only useful to a theoretician. While this might sometimes be the case the findings from animal research have been able to be put to good use in topics such as child rearing, sports, and education. Lastly, many critics are quick to say that animal research is unethical as people have no more right to experiment on animals as animals have to experiment on people. While there are ethical concerns that should be taken seriously these concerns beg the question of if it is unethical to use animals in research what about eating them, what about forcing them to be our pets or what about using animals on

Dr. McKeith). In summary, the book has provided me with a breath of fresh air on controversial non scientific theories that have been built up through time and sold to us by ‘scientists who do not understand the aspects of basic biology. I would like to thank my professor for making us read this book and more importantly Ben Goldacre for shedding the light on Quacks, Hacks, and Big Pharma
