Eating Raccoons Rhetorical Analysis

82 Words1 Pages
This sentence I find very odd and slightly sad. It speaks of a torturing a raccoon by offering it a sugar cube. The author then explains that raccoons are very particular about cleaning their food before they have eaten it. I find this ironic because my first association of raccoons would be of them eating scraps from human trash cans. Even though they go through the trouble of cleaning their food essentially they are still eating waste and trash that humans disposed.
