Assignment 7


     Q1. Why do we think it is more reliable when quoting an actual people's saying in an article?
        What I think is that by hearing the people who worked for and closely related to taxidermy, we can think that this information is based on people who actually make taxidermies. This fact is important because the experts' word is really trusted by people in many ways. We usually quote experts' saying to obtain ethos, the credibility. I believe that Orlean wanted to get the same effect as when we are quoting the saying of experts when we writing an essay.



    Q2.  How can using a number in explaining the size of taxidermy industry can boost interest of the readers? Is there another effect of it rather than boost the interest of readers?
         For me, number is a great indicator that helps me to assume how the thing is look like, how big it is. The context of using number was when she was explaining about the size of taxidermy industry, describe the taxidermy industry by using number gives credibility, not only that, it helps reader to assume the how big it is more easily and make them to have more interest on it , so this is the perfect choice for Susan to use number when she explains about taxidermy industry.  Not only for me, but for most of people, money is the thing attracts attention. I think author catches this mere fact and applied it on her article.
