Eric Schlosser’s “The Most Dangerous Job”
Introduction
Hook/Opening
American Journalist who mostly does investigation
Went to a slaughterhouse to see how it works. Context/Background/ Tie-In Thesis
Terrible Working Conditions
A day at the slaughterhouse

The atrocities that are being performed on the animals and the retaliation by the animals leads to a very bloody site that is not open for everyone to see. Eric goes through the whole process and views all the items needed as well as steps needed for it. It is a sight that changed his view on the job.

Eric Schlosser went through it as a man who was interested in seeing a job that is not that publicly talked about. As he went through his tour, it shows that there are many things that we don't know about behind the scenes.

1.Meatpacking is now the most dangerous job in the United States.
2.Lacerations are the most common injuries suffered by meatpackers, who often stab themselves or stab someone working nearby. Tendinitis and cumulative trauma disorders are also quite common.

He is satirical and I feel he is judgmental because he talks about how the job is and concludes it is the most dangerous job even though he goes at it through a neutral point of view.
3.The author tries to bring the audience closer to the subject of the slaughterhouse and show how it is a very extraneous job and it is very scary and not a job that is easy.
