2. What is the central theme and the author's purpose in this text? How does the author develop
and communicate this theme and purpose? Give specific evidence from the text to support your
answer. (10 points).

There's a condition in combat that occurs when a soldier is completely stressed out
and is "on the verge of a nervous collapse." In World War I it was called "shell shock."
Simple, honest, direct language. Two syllables. Shell shock. It almost sounds like
the guns themselves . . .

. . . [I]n World War II the same combat condition was called "battle fatigue." Four
syllables now; takes a little longer to say. Doesn't seem to hurt as much . . .

By the . . . Korean War . . . the very same condition was being called "operational
exhaustion." The phrase was up to eight syllables now, and any last traces of
humanity had been completely squeezed out of it. . . .

Then . . . we got into Vietnam, and, thanks to the deceptions surrounding that war,
it's no surprise that the very same condition was referred to as "post-traumatic
stress disorder." Still eight syllables, but we've added a hyphen, and the pain is
 completely buried under jargon . . . I'll bet if they had still been calling it "shell
shock," some of those Vietnam veterans might have received the attention they
needed.

The essay examines how, in response to shifting public perceptions of mental health and
veteran care, the language used to characterize psychological disorders associated with warfare
has changed over time. In his critique, the author points out that phrases like "shell shock" have
given way to more clinical and complicated ones like "post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)."
The change from two to eight syllables indicates a disengagement from the human experience
of war trauma, which may have an impact on the identification and care of veterans' needs. To
properly address these concerns, the author makes the case that language ought to be
empathic and straightforward.

Paragraph to be revised:

Essay claim: Vegetarianism is the healthiest lifestyle available.

Vegetarians get all of the nutrients they need by eating a variety of foods. There are
tons of foods they can eat. In fact, there are more foods vegetarians can eat (fruits,
vegetables, grains) than those they can't eat (animal products). According to Marco
Alvez on page 45 of Vegetarianism for Everyone, "non-animal foods are the only
building blocks human beings need to maintain proper health. Naturally occurring
food items are rich in vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients." Tim Over, a
nutritionist and someone who really likes and fights for vegetarianism, has found
that people who avoid meat in their diets are actually much less likely to become
seriously ill than those who regularly eat meat (page 66 of Tim Over's book).
Vegetarians are really healthy. A researcher says that vegetarians aren't healthy
because they can't get enough protein in their diets (Evans, page 22 in No More
Vegetarians). That statement is pure craziness! Of course, vegetarians eat protein
(beans, tofu, protein-rich grains), just not meat protein.

Essay thesis: The healthiest way of living is vegetarianism.

All necessary nutrients are obtained by vegetarians from a wide variety of diets. Their
selection of fruits, vegetables, and grains significantly outweighs the constraints imposed by
animal products. Marco Alvez states that "non-animal foods are the only building blocks human
beings need to maintain proper health; naturally occurring food items are rich in vitamins,
minerals, and other essential nutrients" (45). Prominent vegetarian Tim Over points out that
people who avoid meat are statistically less likely to suffer from major illnesses (66). This lends
credence to the claim that vegetarians typically enjoy superior health. Although some detractors
contend that vegetarians would not consume enough protein (Evans 22), these worries ignore
the protein-rich options that vegetarians can choose from, like beans, tofu, and protein-rich
grains.
