“Living Like Weasels” – Annie Dillard

A Rhetorical Analysis Both these pieces of writing centre around an encounter with an animal, but in each case the author’s real purpose is slightly different than to merely describe their encounters with an elephant, in Orwell’s case, and a weasel, in Dillard’s.
