Q. what is her purpose/audience in writting this? how does she get her message across? would you consider this writting-as-activism?
A. Her purpose is to inform the public of the effects of PCBs and DDT in breast milk and how it affects the babies as well as the women. Her audience was not only the general public but women who didn’t know that the foods and things they put in their bodies were affected and tampered with the breast milk thus being transferred to the baby. Her message is very factual so it is safe to safe she got her point across because you can’t refute facts and information unless you are in true denial. The definition of activism is: The use of direct, often confrontational action, such as a demonstration or strike, in opposition to or support of a cause. So I’d consider her writing very mild activism.
