Journal #15: Analyzing an argument


Ehrlich, A. (2010, April 14). Shades of green: green dog food. Daily Titan. Retrieved April 20, 2010 from http://www.dailytitan.com/2010/04/14/shades-of-green-green-dog-food/

In this article, Erhlich states the reason why we should feed our dogs with “greener” dog food (par.3). It’s also a claim of cause and the idea that we should let our pets eat greener pet food is a claim of cause and also a claim of policy. In paragraph 11, she lists some features of green pet food which is a claim of value. The statistics she uses in the article (claim of cause) is appealing to both reason and emotion. To reach the conclusion, she uses a statistics of dogs dying from acute renal failure. In my opinion, this is a strong argument article because the writer uses different approaches to make the article appealing to the readers. She uses a lot of statistics and evidence that make her argument a lot stronger than those of the opposite viewers.
