  1. Harris’s Tone is very concerned and persuasive. He shows his concern on page 139 he states, “We admire them yet at the same time we distrust them”. He exaggerates his concern with the problem when he writes, “We are transferring mortal authority to the only public servants that remain”. The author shows his concern by the way he describes the anorexic people in the fashion business as, “A rail thin actress”. He uses lots of exaggerations in the text to describe how he feels about how skinny those girls are, “so slim she could seek cover behind the nearest swizzle stick”. He uses imagery to show his concern with people who are plastic surgeon fanatics as for when he says, “Including one that grafted cartilage from his ear to keep his nose from sinking back into his nasal cavity, leaving a gaping chasm in the middle of his face”. By this quote, he also appeals to persuasion for the reason that he knows his readers would never want to be that person. The author expresses his influential tone by saying stuff like, “Our admiration of celebrities is much like our belief in God”. This was very influential to me because I am a strong believer in God and I don’t want anybody to be equal to him so that stuck action into readers. The author uses imagery shifts when he says, “One minute, 5’4. 120-pound Janet Jackson a six pack and buns of steels, and next she is 180 pounds wearing sweatpants and a baseball cap…” in order to show persuade the reader that living that, “skinny” life is a temporary thing.
