1. Cite three specific examples of Hodgman’s descriptive imagery that you find to be particularly effective.
“One specific Purina spokesman told me that poultry by-products consist of necks, intestines, undeveloped eggs, and other carcass remnants.” “The cheese chews like fresh Play-doh, whereas the meat chews like Play-doh that’s been sitting out on a rug for a couple of hours. “White-flecked mush and bag after bag of stinky, fat-drenched nuggets.” All of this made me nauseated when I read them so I thought that they would be good for my argument.
2. What do you think Hodgman’s purpose was in writing this essay? What overall message/meaning do you take from the essay?
Her purpose in writing this essay was not to show that she ate the dog food. She just wanted to see what she and many other pet owners were feeding their dogs and what was truly in that. She discovered that some products are fine and even healthy to your dogs but others can be harmful. The overall message in this story is to really find out what is in the food you buy whether it is for you or your pet. Pay attention to what you eat so you can live and happy and healthy lifestyle.
