The article "Putting a Cap on the Bottled Water Industry" argues the reasons we should get rid of the water bottle industries going into different states and taking away the states water. The author is very effective by using our emotions such as guilt and anger to go against water bottle industries. They used words such as 'taxpayers money' trying to say that you as a taxpayer are getting your money taken away without any say.
In the article it states "yet Beacon Hill has been strangely silent about- and invested not one penny in defense of- small - and often low-income rural towns that stand alone against what many see as a threat to their drinking water supplies: Swiss-based Nestle Waters." The author uses this line to grab the readers attention by implying that Nestle Water is the bad 'prince John' who wants to steal all the money from the poor people in the small towns. It also says that the water is a greedy company that would spend any amount of money to fix their company. The article also talked about them stealing water from nature making it harmful to fish hatchers. The author does this to make the reader angry and not want to drink their water because the water may have killed many fish and drinking it would be like supporting animal killings.
In the end, the author wants action and tells the reader to act now or it will be to late. I found the article to be effect because of all the emotions and symbols they used to describe the water bottle companies.
