Assignment: Nonfiction Analysis Essay



Prompt:
Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma examines the ways in which we have become disconnected with the foods we eat. In fact, it is a dizzying illustration of the journeys plants and animals take their way to our dinner tables. Still, reading Pollan's book can be an overwhelming experience, one in which readers invariably examine their own eating habits—for better or worse.

In a concise essay, highlight three practices offered by Pollan which consumers can adopt to help both themselves and the environment. Use specific examples from the book to support your thesis.

Requirements:
  • MLA format, including parenthetical citation
  • 2.5-page minimum

Due: Tuesday—Draft 1 (bring three copies); Thursday—Final draft
