Her use of imagery here is to convey her own image of the region she knows so well, to her reader. This image portrays a sense of glorification, yet another of disappointment and loneliness, because it gives the effect that the Midwest is rather dull and boring to be in.

This supports the idea that news anchors and movie stars come from this area, suggesting that they acquire a “perfect” image and are highly important or above average. This creates a sense of admiration for the reader, and also shows the pride that Marquart has for the people of her hometown.

The well-educated Mairs, attested to in line 16 ”it has an honorable history, having its first appearance in Lindisfane Gospel” uses her diction accordingly to her story. She applies distinctive and variant jargon in order to be understood. A rhetorical structure, by all means, is admissible to this genre of explanation.

However, though the central topic of her essay may be boring, Zacharias is an excellent writer. She uses pathos, arrangement and logos well to describe her relationship with her father and buzzards. I found pathos everywhere. I felt pathos in the first sentence: “They woof” (260).

This helps her to highlight the point she made in the first half, as she asserted the boring nature of the area. Then, she transitions to the division of land in 1785, which found the country “so well behaved that it laid itself down into neat, even squares.” These historical references to the area not only give Marquart support for her claim, they are credible sources and people whom she can place in her memoir prove her ideas are shared by many who have described the land before. To further this point, Marquart describes her ancestors’ arrival to the area as “the end of the line;” where there was land to claim. Stating it this way allows her to point out that her ancestors did not choose to settle in the area, they were forced to by the availability of land at the time.
