Having Faith
Sandra Steingraber uses mixture of two styles that fuse together, to make a very effective claim about the importance of the discussion about the dioxin molecule on breast feeding. She first begins with “relaxed” style using informal language to provide a personal background; she introduces her audience to her interest of science, more specifically about food chains and then mention her studies. Then she switches to a much more technical language, utilizing statistical evidence to support the claim that the dioxin molecule is a real problem, which has to be considered. But the most effective use of this fusion of styles is made towards the conclusion, when she appeals to the emotional side of the audience identifying herself as a mother, and continue to explain the “dioxin paradox”. She construct the ethos with her own personal experiences and her logos with a more scholarly writing style.
