Orlean has a way with quotes throughout her article. She uses a with array of quotes throughout her article to help shape exactly what taxidermy is and what it is for some people. Now although I don't agree that all of the quotes used should have been in her article, as said in Assignment 6:Choices, I do think that by adding in a good amount of quotes has helped build her ethos.
Orlean does a very clever thing in her article: she doesn't make us feel like we have to choose one opinion over the other. She goes through her entire article making us feel like we can form our own opinion because she is very open to both sides of taxidermy in her writing. As a reader it makes things more enjoyable because no matter what opinion we form, we can still relate to the writer and make connections. For Orlean to do this was a very good move.
