A Second Thought About Animals


            Rifkin's claims in his text about animals provide strong emphasis about the point that he is 

trying to get across to the reader. For example, He uses strong emphasis when stating the facts of 

various animals in the animal kingdom.  His claims do also come with self-identification at the end of 

his passage when he talks about expanding our empathy towards other living creatures. His evidence 

supports his claims because it gives the audience a reason to believe his claims. One of the ways that 

Rifkin used evidence was through facts. He stated facts about different animals from various parts of 

the world. He also used narrative illustrations to give the reader an idea of what these animals are 

capable of. Lastly, he authoritative quotes about how each animal has human characteristics. A 

strategy that Rifkin uses excessive but effective way he supports his claims with his evidence. 

Constantly letting the reader know what is going on and drilling it into the mind of the audience. This 

is very effective because it really gets his point across to the reader. I was very persuaded after all the 

facts and examples stated throughout the entire passage.
