Rhetorical Analysis

1.    In planning to rhetorically analyse, "The Pleasure of Eating" by Wendell Berry i would first read his essay thoroughly. From his essay I see that he is very repellent to processed food so from now knowing this i venture to understand why he is against processed food. As I do a little research of Wendell Berry I realize he is a Farmer and also a write. So, from this knowledge I see that his argument of the plants and animals being treated better is backed from his experience that he would not want to eat something that has been treated cruelly. I believe in his mind he sees eating an animal that has been feed and raised in a small cubical that the livestock doesn't have enough room to turn around in is eating a cruelly treated or even beaten  animal. He bring to attention that people in the urban areas don't realize ,that from the animal living on the farm till the food showing up on their plate, there is a lot going on in the back ground and many stages in between. I would then go on to explain how he shares his opinion with his audience and also to whom is his audiences.
2.    The pleasure of eating doesn't come from eating the food but from the knowledge of where and what the food has been through.
3.   He gives us the knowledge of the cow in a stable where it couldn't even turn around and how that is cruelty he says that he would much rather eat meat that was from a happy and able to roam a wide open pasture. He gives us the thought that if we knew were and how our food was treated as livestock then we would have total freedom in eating your food.
4.   From reading his ethos I don't really understand where he is coming from but after doing a little extra research i understand his side of the argument being a framer and taking care of his livestock. In terms of his pathos i feel that he was strong is stating his pathos. he directly related the audience with his feeling towards the situation. He strongly showed his love for animals and how they are treated  even in the process for being raised for food.
