darwin blog

darwin was a natural charmer


"When we no longer look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension; when we regard every production of nature as one which has had a history; when we contemplate every complex structure and instinct as the summing up of many contrivances...will the study of natural history become!" (Darwin 75).





Darwin's use of imagery proves to make his argument stronger and more interesting for the reader. He uses simile to describe an organic being which intrigues the reader into believing his argument that much more. This aspect of Darwin's writing is what makes him such an readable, and convincing writer. He uses creative and persuasive writing to strengthen his argument in a rational way.
