As the reading continues, Reece's arguments exhibit the same main emotional tactics that accompany irrefutable statistics. He plays on nation wide fear that is often associated with big business and government which is corruption. He continues with the issue of the coal companies simply not caring about the local environment or the local people as a whole. Which, according to the statistics and stories, seem to be undeniably true. The ignorance of the coal executive to pay for or even acknowledge the damage that they are going to this region is understandably difficult to handle for the local inhabitants. He pushes again the environmental aspect when he talks about going on the flying squirrel exhibit and continues providing an ever-growing list of evidence on how these mining practices are killing the environment of this part of West Virginia.
