Week 5 Identifying The Elements of Inductive Argument Bambi



1:  Saving the deer may make for fun on a road trip or backyard adventure but having too many deer has cause once plentiful supply of birds to dwindle.
2:  Daniel Cristol placed the thesis so far down(like the third little paragraph I think) so that he had enough space to tell you about what the problem was before telling what had caused it, sort of like to get you on his side because if he had just come straight out and said deer are killing birds in the beginning I doubt many people would have kept reading.
3:  Cristol uses events such as managing of forests for deer, bird-watcher sightings and the clearing of forests to show how the populations of migratory birds has fallen.
4: Daniel Cristol talks about how we have been managing the forests in order to allow the deer to have a comeback since being hunted to “endangered”.  Managing the forests did allow the deer to come back but since they have made a comeback and a strong one their numbers are threatening the population of migratory birds.  By eating the bushes and shrubs birds would normally use for nests or for cover.  And he also talks about how the number of people who actually hunt for deer now is declining since our generation isn’t is to hunting as much, I guess because its not really a necessity for most of us now like it may have been in the 20th century or maybe people just don’t want to anymore.
5:  I think Daniel Cristol has a very good argument, he provides plenty of evidence of how the bird population is being harmed and of how this solution will help.

I used the inductive question set because he uses events that have happened to make his generalizations rather than make conclusions based on generalizations.

  1. When I read your argument It tells me alot about the bambi article and the things that it spoke about. I think you did a pretty good job on answering the questions and stating the facts.
