1. Cite three specific examples of Hodgman’s descriptive imagery that you find to be particularly effective.
1: “Rather, it looked-and-felt-like a single, long, extruded piece of redness that had been chopped into segments”
2: “the ‘meat’ chews like Play-Doh that’s been sitting out on a rug for a couple of hours.”
3: “A lumpy, frightening, bloody, stringy, horror is a sign of high-quality – lots of meat.”
2. What do you think Hodgman’s purpose was in writing this essay? What overall message/meaning do you take from the essay?
I think Hodgman’s purpose in writing this essay was to show how deceiving dog food companies can be. The ingredients in the food are not always what the bag says they are. her essay is satirical yet it shows the truth about what dog food really is. The overall message I take from this essay is that appearances can be deceiving so do not always trust what you see or hear.
