26.Save the Whales, Screw the Shrimp

      In this article Joy William uses a satirical voice in order to criticize human selfishness and how it is ruining nature. He adressess the fact that people do not view nature as they did before and that now they do not even respect it eough to preserve it. Williams is concerned about every individual and makes a statement that what is happening to the planet is a consequence of everybody's actions, every human being is responsile or the amount of pollution they liberate to the planet. The essay is written n a way that the author adresses the audience: "you, you, you!". This leaves an impression of individuality and that this issue concerns all people and not a selected group.
       The author was sucessful in this article because the thesis was achieved. It was to raise awareness abot what is happening in the planet and she also uses pathos in order to link the reader emotionaly to the issue by saying "it is your problem". Her various rethorical devices such as the use of pathos, logos and ethos help in convincing the reader that something must be done about the environment. Not only does this essay inform and entertain but it also motivates the audience to take an iniciative agains the pollution and devastation the human race is causing on Planet Earth. Overall this essay is very good and compleed is purpouse, entertaining and informing the reader with a satirical air.
