Joel Salatin, the Polyface Farms owner, has a strong opinion on how necessary it is to have a healthy area for animals to be raised in order for everyone to have food on their tables that was well taken care of. Salatin is arguing the fact that organic animals should be used among all Americans. Within the video, the farm owner uses pathos by stating the fact the chickens never see chlorine on his farm and do not get plump as they do in large factories. Along with that, Joel brought up the fact that the cows are able to graze the farms and fertilize on their own rather than having machine made products. On top of pathos, the speaker uses ethos to catch the audiences attention.
On November 16th 2016 I went to the Triangle Farmer’s Market visiting two different vendors. I asked the vendors general questions about how their products are grown and sold. My total time spent at the farmers market was approximately 1 hour. I learned a lot about sustainable production of food and the importance of supporting local farms. The first vendor I went to exclusively sold vegetables.

“Shane” is an Old Western movie that represents the western lifestyle and perspective of manhood. It was one of the unsurpassed movies produced in 1953. The movie’s plot revolves around farmers’ who try to save their own land from a dominant cattle rancher called Fletcher and a rider called Shane tries to stand by one of the farming families to keep their rights. This creates tragic events and conflicts between the family members themselves, and the family members with Fletcher and his men. The perception of being in danger is haunting the family from all sides and this is what led them to be very cautious with who they deal with and who they let in their farm.
The objective of the film was to influence viewers to switch to a plant-based diet while avoiding animal consumption. Anderson and Kuhn utilize various visual techniques and rhetorical appeals to ethos and logos to support their argument that the causes of many diseases can be linked back to diet. While the film uses clear rhetorical techniques to present its argument, the overall argument is ineffective due to its broad claim and distorted presentation of positions. The first rhetorical strategy used by the film that will be analyzed is the appeal to pathos. An example of this would be the woman crying because she has to take medicine for the rest of her life.
“The stories in ‘The Turning’ focus on moments of change for the characters, sometimes as the result of a significant event, deliberate decision, a chance meeting or a seemingly trivial act.” The stories ‘Big world’ and ‘Aquifer’ are two short stories from the book ‘The turning’ by Tim Winton. They are both perfect examples of short stories with characters that change due to significant events in their lives, most often their childhoods. Significant events that occur during childhood are very likely to follow and affect how the person changes and stick as vivid memories even as an adult.
Jason Pollock is a Film director, author, and founder of Boom Content. His inventive work has been highlighted in publications such as the New York Times, Variety, and numerous others as a result of his ingenuity and desire for the truth to be revealed. He is a great illustration of ethos since his work is credible and reliable. He was named as being among the top 140 most important individuals on Twitter in a New York Times article and on the list of 100 Persons to Follow by PC Magazine. Although this film may be seen as any other, Pollock is known to use the rhetorical triangle.
He discovers that a majority of the advertisements written on organic products are not remotely true to the treatment of the animals. “A charge often levied against organic agriculture is that it is more philosophy than science. There's some truth to this indictment, if that it what it is, though why organic farmers should feel defensive about it is itself a mystery, a relic, perhaps, of our fetishism of science as the only credible tool with which to approach nature” (Pollan 225). Pollan sees that a lot of organic farmers feel threatened when people question their different methods of farming, but Pollan tries to explain that if it truly is a practice that is successful and forthcoming then there is no need to feel threatened. However Pollan notes a discrepancy in the way a majority of organic farmers advertise their products.
‘’ In America ’’, ‘’ Into The West ’’ and ‘’ Brooklyn ‘’ are films that experience extreme loss and migration. These films deal with the internal struggle of the characters as they try to comprehend the losses and struggles they have each faced and their attempts to overcome them. ‘’ When you have a holy thing happenin', you don't mess with it, ‘’(David Edelstein) this is what the director Jim Sheridan said after the screening of his semi - autobiographical film In America. Jim Sheridan is a foundational figure of Irish film with My Left Foot, The Field to name but a few of his exceptional films. Sheridan uses race, family, otherness and Americana in general, to dramatise Ireland’s affinity with America.
The Invisible People John Boorman’s film The Emerald forest contrasts two traditional societies, the Invisible People and the Fierce People, with Modern Western Society. I will compare and contrast the culture of the Invisible people with that of the contemporary American society.
In the essay "A Gringo in the Lettuce Fields," Thompson tells us about his errors and reminds us that he is an outsider. I believe the reason for this is because there is so much misconception that immigrants just come to America to take away these jobs from Americans. I also believe that immigrants know that Americans believe this to be true. With that being said, I think his target audience are both Americans and the immigrants doing this type of work. I think there is somewhat of an ignorance when it comes to understanding what this type of work entails and the damage it does to ones body.
Religion and temptation of a forbidden object is a major theme in Joyce Carol Oate’s “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?”. The story features Connie, a pretty 15-year-old girl who is given the opportunity to go on a date with Arnold Friend, who is described as being a mysterious man of 30 years of age or older. While this first excites Connie, she becomes increasingly hesitant as to whether or not going with Friend is a good idea as she starts to notice flaws in his character. Arnold Friend takes the form of a devil-like character and displays both physical and mental characteristics of this biblical creature. Friend makes multiple references to numbers and symbols that would give up his identity, and each time he makes these references
Another technique the author uses is to put you in the farmer’s shoes so that the audience can empathize with the farmer. “Three thousand hours a year is a staggering amount of time to spend working, particularly if many of those hours involve being bent over in the hot sun, planting and weeding in a rice paddy ”(Gladwell, 2008, p. 235-6). Here the audience both feels bad for the farmer and feels the enormity of the amount of work that a rice paddy farmer has to go through which allows the audience to both empathize with the farmer as well as sympathize. Other techniques that Gladwell uses to appeal to the reader’s emotions are the use of a description of rice farming so that the reader can understand the complexity of rice farming, the use of powerful proverbs to invoke the reader, and the use of a joke to include the
While Ruttman’s film is an attempt to convey the Vertov’s film is idealistic cinema as an instrument of truth Scenes of the documentary are intercut with scenes of the actual production. Capitalism breathes life into industrialization, and machines The city is awake before the people are. lions feeding beauty salon Vertov’s passion lay in the ability of the lens of a camera to combine an infinite amount of perspectives Vertov’s cinematic style portrays cinema as a socialistic ideal of an art form, as he shows Vertov used filmmaking as a tool in the construction of his socialist ideal of the world.
I know a lot of people don 't know how to farm nor do they want to. But a lot of people forget on caring about where and how they got their produce as long as it is on the market for them to feed themselves or their families. What they don 't know is more and more these days the animals are living in horrible factories their whole lives. Which means they aren 't being treated wrong. They are neglected with the proper food and are being drugged with medications like steroids.
