"Slaughter" & "The Market"

I had a really hard time getting though the “Slaughter” chapter. It says that most of us do our very best to avoid thinking about it, which is the way I am. I don’t like to think about how the chicken I’m eating made it to my plate. The way it’s done seems harsh, but I guess that’s the only way it can be done. I don’t think any way to kill an animal will ever seem humane, but it has to be done. In “The Market” chapter, I agree that the meat and eggs from the farm will be much better than meat and eggs from the grocery store. If I buy food from McDonalds, it’s cheap so I know the quality of food isn’t going to be as good as an actual sit down restaurant like Red Robin, which is more expensive.

In “They Say I Say”, I would use any of the templates for agreeing or disagreeing. I also like how it gave templates for disagreeing and agreeing at the same time. I already use the templates the book gave for determining who is saying what in my writing. I thought the examples were helpful, and I’m sure I’ll look back in the book later on this year when I need help with writing a paper.
