The American burying beetle is an insect that plays an extremely important role in the ecosystem of the eastern United States. The beetle is also well-known for being included in the book <em>Hope for Animals and Their World</em> by Jane Goodall. In this book, Jane Goodall shares her enthusiasm for this little animal. Goodall is not only enthusiastic about the animal due to its importance. She also discusses how conservation efforts have helped the once dramatically threatened beetle population.
Lou Perrotti (director of conservation programs at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island) and Jack Mulvena (executive director of the Rhode Island Zoological Society and Roger Williams Park Zoo) were both instrumental in helping the beetle population recover. Goodall conveys the importance of this story, as well as the importance of the beetle, by using several rhetoric devices, such as logos (argument from logic) and pathos (argument from emotion).

I personally think Ralph but others may think differently
Explanation:
To be a good leader, one must cater to the people while still being responsible and taking charge. In the story “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding, a group of boys get stuck on an island without adults from a plane crash. Two of the main characters, Ralph and Jack, wish to be leader, but eventually end up splitting into two groups that result in a bit of a rivalry. Between the two, Ralph is a much better leader.
Ralph cares more for the boys than Jack. When mentioned, Ralph shut down the idea of the beast in attempt for the boys not to worry, “But I tell you there isn’t a beast!” (Golding, pg. 36) Jack let them believe in the beast, “but if there was a snake we’d hunt it and kill it.” (pg. 36) This shows that Ralph doesn’t want the others to think it is possible so they don’t fear and only focus on the beast, while Jack lets them believe in the beast and fear it. Ralph accepted and listened to everyone, including Piggy, but Jack always shut Piggy down for no good reason and punished anyone that wouldn’t listen to him, trying to take complete control of them like they were his puppets.
A. The book was very expensive, so I didn’t buy it.
