Analysis #2

Position Paper Analysis

Morgan Carlson

1.      Main point is about what it means to keep a cow and why one should keep a cow as stated in the first paragraph in the essay.

2.      The author compares store bought milk along with milk produced at home using his personal experience. Along with the breakdown of several dangers of producing raw milk the author thoroughly explains the best way to do so.

3.      With a balance of good and bad aspects for reasons why one should and should not own a cow. The author shows favoritism toward the wanting to own a cow. The author also tells of the great importance one needs to know in order to go through with owning a cow.

4.      By using outside sources to support his position the author was able to have a good definition on the maintenance of owning a cow along with the way the manure from the cow needs to be handled in order to avoid the contamination of drinking water and crops nearby. In my opinion not knowing anything about owning a cow I would say this information is really credible.

5.      With the points written with in the paper I have learned quite a bit about the process of gaining milk. The author takes in to account of the readers little knowledge of milking a cow and the proper care in treating a cow and treating raw milk. With the words “your cow” the author invites the reader to think of a possibility of the reader owning a cow. It is right to say that if the reader is interested in owning a cow than this paper is just the reader would want to read.
