The author describes the working conditions and what they do to the animals as inhumane where people get there arms cut off and animals get shot in the head.

“Another sanitation worker lost an arm in a machine.

Now he folds towels in the locker room”- page 5

This invokes an emotional response because even though he’s now missing a limb he still has to work, it also seems like the supervisor has no regard for their well-being based on “If one hand is no good," the supervisor told him, "use the other." -Arionna

The author elicits an emotional response to the reader whenever the knocker is shooting the cows and the authors states “The production line stops as workers struggle to free the steer, stunned but alive, from the machinery. I've seen enough.” The most important line in the citation is whenever the author says “I’ve seen enough.” It shows that the author is in disgust by the way they kill off the cattle.

“Today Kenny is in poor health. His heart is permanently damaged. His immune system seems shot. His back hurts, his ankle hurts, and every so often he coughs up blood. He is

unable to work at any job.” - Page 186

This has people having an emotional response because it provides an example of lasting effects (aside from death at the plant) that the meat plant can and has caused people. It gives a great example of how bad working there can actually be.

After reading “The Most Dangerous Job” I noticed several things that create trust and emotional response to the author. Eric uses phrases that evoke empathy and concern.

“Like working in a war zone”

“The conditions inside the meatpacking plants are brutal and dangerous”

“The meatpacking industry has the highest injury rate of any industry in the United states.”

“Kenny Dobbins was recuperating, Monfort fired him. Despite the fact that Kenny

had been with the company for almost sixteen years, despite the fact that he was first in

seniority at the Greeley plant, that he'd cleaned blood tanks with his bare hands“ This really provokes a feeling of betrayal and sadness, getting rid of an important worker whose been hurt by the factory so many times but came back anyways because he couldn’t quit.

In multiple instances the author is seen giving examples of corruption in the slaughter house business. The author uses multiple times where workers have been wronged by this corporation and others about how disgusting the environment is. The author has gone into great depths for their research even visiting slaughter houses to get inside knowledge of what goes on.

“People usually cut themselves; nevertheless, everyone on the line tries to stay alert. Meatpackers often work within inches of each other, wielding large knives. A simple mistake can cause a serious injury. A former IBP worker told me about

boning knives suddenly flying out of hands and ricocheting off of machinery. "They're very flexible," she said, "and they'll spring on you . . . zwing, and they're gone."

In the story it talks about how the cows are stunned with a bolt to the head so they don’t know what’s happening and then their throats are closed right after. It also talks about how they go through paths without knowing where there at and they get hung up by their feet while being alive still. This sparks emotion in some people because it’s sad how they don’t even know what’s happening and they aren’t treated humanely.

To create trust and elicit an emotional response, an author might use vivid descriptions, personal anecdotes, or present hard-hitting facts. Phrases like "harrowing accounts," "staggering statistics," and "first-hand experiences" can establish credibility and pull at the reader's heartstring which. They might also use emotive language such as "excruciating conditions," "heart-wrenching stories" or "a call to action" to engage the reader's feelings and empathy. These emotional appeals ethos and pathos help the reader connect with the subject on a deeper level.

“Nobody is smiling or chatting, they're too busy, anxiously

trying not to fall behind. An old man walks past me, pushing a blue plastic barrel filled with scraps.” Pg 2. This triggers an emotional response in the reader by using depressing language. Portraying the workers as miserable people who are being mistreated by the industry pulls at the heart stringers of readers. The author tells the story of Kenny, a former worker at the meat plant, in chronological order, documenting all of the times he had gotten a serious work related injury. The author ties up his story with this sad sentence, “Despite the fact that Kenny had been with the company for almost sixteen years, despite the fact that he was first in seniority at the Greeley plant, that he'd cleaned blood tanks with his bare hands, fought the union, done whatever the company had asked him to do, suffered injuries that would've killed weaker men, nobody from Monfort called him with the news. Nobody even bothered to write him.” Pg 10. He shows all the ways that the industry has hurt him and given him nothing in return for his work. This personal story backs up the authors message, while also making us apathetic towards the workers to achieve his goal of getting people to act.

“While Kenny Dobbins was recuperating, Monfort fired him. Despite the fact that Kenny had been with the company for almost sixteen years, despite the fact that he was first in seniority at the Greeley plant, that he'd cleaned blood tanks with his bare hands, fought the union, done whatever the company had asked him to do, suffered injuries that would've killed weaker men, nobody from Monfort called him with the news.” (Shlossar 10)

The text cites “Kenny caught the box

with one arm, but the momentum threw him against a conveyer belt, and the metal rim of

the belt pierced his lower back. The company doctor bandaged Kenny's back and said the

pain was just a pulled muscle. Kenny never filed for workers' comp, stayed home for a

few days, then returned to work. He had a wife and three children to support.” This creates an emotional response because it makes you feel bad for him. Especially when it talks about how he has a wife and kids to support.

The author creates emotion throughout the story by explaining the harmful and dangerous working conditions in the factories. This example in the passage is one way the author could add fearful emotions, “People usually cut themselves; nevertheless, everyone on the line tries to stay alert. Meatpackers often work within inches of each other, wielding large knives. A simple mistake can cause a serious injury. A former IBP worker told me about

boning knives suddenly flying out of hands and ricocheting off of machinery. "They're very flexible," she said, "and they'll spring on you . . . zwing, and they're gone."

The author elicits an emotional response by providing details of how inhuman and dangerous the conditions of working in a slaughterhouse is. The author describes how the animals are treated horribly and how the workers are in constant danger and work in unhealthy conditions. This makes the audience have an emotional connection to the message.
