Animal Testing Animal testing has been a controversial topic for many generations throughout the
world. People against animal testing say that animal testing is cruel and inhumane and...show more

Animals are also tested with "Repeated force feeding tactics" (11 Facts about....). Repeated force
feeding involves forcing animals to eat certain substances over and over just for observation.
What is the point in this? Another experiment performed on animals is killing pregnant animals
and examining and experimenting on the fetuses. Killing a mother and killing a baby that hasn't
even been born yet is wrong and it should be stopped. Killing an animal for no reason is cruel.
That's a life you are taking away. Just imagine if it was you. Animals should only be killed for
food, not to be used for testing. Animals can be burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused as a result
of testing. And the list could go on forever. The way animals are being mistreated and tested on
should be against the law. There is a different ways to do research other than killing and abusing
animals. There are many alternate test that scientist can use to do there research without harming
animals. Alternative test are defined as test that use the three "R's", a test that replaces a procedure
that uses animals with one that doesn't, a test that reduces the number of animals used in a
procedure, and test that refine a procedure to cause less pain to the animal.(11 Facts about...)
Animal testing causes millions and millions of dollars to go down the drain each year. It's a shame
to see American Tax payer's money go to no use. The National Institute of Health holds back 14 to
16 billion

2. 1.What is the title and who is the author of the article you selected? (1 pt)
–Conversation in the Odyssey by Scott Richardson 2.In 1–2 sentences, what is the argument or thesis
statement of the article? (3 pts)
–The Argument of this article is that the language in the Odyssey is very indirect, full of lies,
hidden messages, and in a sense manipulative. Scott Richardson claims the poem places a high value
on a character's ability to use language in such a manner that it even determines whether a character
is successful or not.
3.How does the author make his/her case? (Summarize the author's claims. What evidence does he
or she use? How convincing is it? (Use approx. 100 words) (7 pts)
–Scott Richardson defense his case that much of the language used in the Odyssey is indirect and
manipulative by providing examples from the poem of character speaking in such of manner. For
instance, he discusses Odysseus' initial...show more content...
Upon my initial reading of the Odyssey I viewed Odysseus as being a clever hero but now it is hard
not to view him as a manipulative liar. In the article, Richardson writes of a moment where
"Odysseus treats his father to a false tale that causes him needless grief" (pg.143). How could a
so–called hero cause his elderly father to grieve through his lies instead of telling him the truth. It is
because of the realization of these types of instances where Odysseus lied to his loved ones in the
poem that made me change my view of him.
6.What questions do you have, or what are you curious about exploring further after reading this
article carefully? (5 pts)
–This made me curious to explore the reading further and see if there are any negative effects of
using such indirect language.
7.Quote and cite one passage from The Odyssey that bears upon the concerns in the article you
chose. Explain why and how this passage is important to the topic of the article. (7
