In Paul Bogards essay, "Let there Be Dark", he offers a very clear stance on why natural darkness should be preserved. He does this by retelling a personal incident, relating to a piece of art, and providing detrimental facts. First of all, he provides a personal anecdote during a time where he was in Minnesota. He starts off by saying,"..I knew woods so dark that my hands disappeared before my eyes." By saying this, he shows off how darkness is really affecting him. He also says that 8/10 people won't know a sky dark enough. By saying this, he forces people to try and think of a time that they have experienced total darkness, and how it has affected them. He focuses in on the potential beauty of darkness, and how it truly is irreplaceable.
