Coyote vs. Acme

     Ian Frazier is the author of this essay. It talks about the lawsuit of Wile Coyote. The defendent in the essay is the ACME company, and the plaintiff is Mr. Coyote. The essay described all of Coyotes incidents and accidents in great detail. Coyote had said that the accidents were because of ACME's products, and how they are labeled wrong. The real reason was that he did not read the instructions carefully and never intended to pay attention to the warning labels. The purpose of the essay was to show people that there are people in the world you go to court for the stupidest reasons, and how they act in court.
     The tone of this essay is humorous and descriptive. Ian had a sarcastic tone throughout the essay, and that is what makes the audience interested. The audience is the jury and the people in the courtroom. Frazier basically made fun of Coyote's remarks and actions about how his incidents happened.
