- Cite three specific examples of Hodgman’s descriptive imagery that you find to be particularly effective.
- There were chunks in the can, certainly-big purplish-brown chunks.
- The meat was dark, dark brown, and it was surrounded by gelatin that was almost black. I knew I would die if I tasted it, so I put it outside for the raccoons.
- Except for a lingering rancid-fat flavor, the gravy wasn’t beefy, but it tasted primarily like tap water, it wasn’t nauseating either.
- What do you think Hodgman’s purpose was in writing this essay? What overall message/meaning do you take from the essay?
The purpose of the author writing the essay was to tell the world about the food that we are feeding our animals. She tries to convey the fact that the food is gross and unappealing. She also tells the reader that marketers, are just that; they are people trying to trick pet owners with pretty packaging to buy a product that may neither be healthy nor tasty to our animals. What I took from this essay is to never eat dog food, and also that most of the packages lie to get a person to buy the food.
