Even in the longer sentences the mind’s eyes is tickled by Parker’s constant use of figurative language, humor, description chock-full of metaphors and adjectives, and allusions to the biblical, the supernatural, and the historical (especially so in paragraph five). All of these elements work in tandem to slowly but surely illustrate and finally reach Parker’s point as they hold an audience member’s attention and give him a way to slip in facts and citations without boring the

In the first three paragraphs of the essay’s introduction, Eigher discusses his preference of the words that he uses to label himself and his lifestyle. The author admits that he prefers the word “scavenging” to the word “foraging” when it comes to describing his lifestyle. For Eighner, the term “foraging” possesses a polite connotation and is strictly reserved for the gathering of nuts and berries.
