Distillation

In the passage I read today the author is explaining that the practices involved in science are grotesque and feeble minded because of the “nasty” experiments that take place. The author supports his claims using imagery by giving examples including cutting spiders and frogs into “tiny pieces” and explaining how they do nothing for society compared to the working class. The passage not only explains how inhuman the practice is  but also that it is simple minded work that anyone can do and contributes nothing to society as a whole. The author’s use of diction provides a clear understanding of his feelings towards the scientists, and hyperbole by exaggerating the deeds which were expressed. This passage reveals the authors disgust with scientists and the experiments they conduct, as well as the importance of the blue collared working class and their “need to work”.
