1. Book-The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
Sinclair, Upton. The Jungle. Pocket, 2004.
The Jungle written by Upton Sinclair is effective in showing the horrible working conditions of the meat-packing industry. My research paper is on the horrible conditions of factory farming and how it harms not only animals, but humans and the environment also. Thus, The Jungle shows how factory farming is harmful to humans also, by showing the horrible working conditions of the employees. The Jungle also expresses the concepts of harm to animals, people, and the environment. The purpose of the book is to show and hopefully change the working conditions of the meat packing industry and slaughterhouses. The Jungle encompasses the ideas of ethos, pathos and logos. The Jungle encompasses the idea of ethos because it shows that working conditions for people should be valuable to everyone, and thus employers should provide their employees with decent working conditions. The Jungle encompasses the idea of pathos because it appeals to the emotion of compassion, and shows that to make workers work in bad working conditions is immoral. The Jungle encompasses the idea of logos because it shows if you provide decent working conditions for employees they will be happy. The book would appeal to people interested in the cruelty of the meat-packing industry or factory farming. Overall, the book is effective in getting the point of the cruelty and horrible working conditions of the meat-packing industry.
2. Song-Factory Farm Music video-Truth on Earth

The song "Factory Farm Music Video" by Truth on Earth is very informative and appealing to people who are interested in the conditions of factory farming and care about the well-being of animals, the earth and other people. By using a song, I will be able to appeal to people who want a different way of receiving the information on factory farming other than reading or talking. My research paper was on factory farming, thus there is a direct link between my paper and the song by Truth on Earth. The song "Factory Farm Music Video" encompasses ethos, pathos, and logos in several ways. Ethos is present in the song "Factory Farm Music Video" because it shows that factory farming is immoral and more people should be aware of this problem. "The Factory Farm Music Video" appeals to pathos and the emotions because it makes one feel bad about buying meat that is factory farmed. "The Factory Farm Music Video" presents the idea of logos because it shows if you do not factory farm the world will be a better place and animals will be treated better.

3.Film-The Meatrix

The film "The Meatrix" which was found on youtube.com is very effective because the movie shows animals talking about factory farming, thus appealing to people who care about animals. My research paper is on factory farming and compassion and "The Meatrix" is directly connected to my paper by discussing factory farming and showing how factory farming is wrong. "The Meatrix" is a pun on The Matrix which also makes the movie interesting to watch. The film "The Meatrix" has several examples of ethos, pathos, and logos. "The Meatrix" shows ethos because it shows that factory farming is immoral and people should not factory farm. "The Meatrix" shows pathos because it appeals to emotions because the film uses cartoon animals to get the cruelty of factory farming across. "The Meatrix" shows logos because it shows that if you eliminate factory farming animals will be happier and the earth would be a better place. Clearly, I would say that "The Meatrix" does a good job at getting the point across and would be beneficial for an audience to watch.

4.Visual Piece-
The photo I used of all the cows crammed together in a pen is very effective because the photo shows the intense and horrible living conditions of factory farming. The visual piece used gets the authors point across and also gets the point of my research paper across. The photo definitely appeals to emotion and pathos and the concept of compassion because no animal or human should have to live in conditions that are witnessed in the photo presented. Overall, the photo is very effective and makes an individual not want to support factory farming.
