    Humans, as they are today, have existed for a mere 50,000 years, while the Earth is around 4.54 billion years old. Why, then, have humans disregarded the planet they live on and have chosen to send it to ruin by means of pollution, climate change, and mining deep below the surface? Because of mankind’s actions of destruction, the Earth has awakened from a tranquil slumber and sought restitution towards humanity for disturbing its once-peaceful state. In Auscultation, Steven Church is presenting the idea that, unbeknownst to most, Earth’s human inhabitants are what animate the prodigious planet and drive it to take on a life of its own. By conveying the tales of miners being held prisoner by Earth due to cataclysmic drilling accidents, Church is drawing parallels between humans and…

    For billions of years, nature has dictated the survival and appearance of a species. However in Richard Louv’s Last Child in the Woods suggests that know we– human beings– are the ones changing the face of nature. Louv introduces the article with a study about controlling the color of butterfly wings then moving on to show the comparison between parks and advertising. Then, Louv transitions into a hypothetical example of a mother who did not want to buy backseat entertainment for her child and the mother then clarifies that she is doing this because of how her “understanding of how cities and nature fit together was gained from the backseat” (lines 49-50). Through the use of a scientific study, hypothetical example, series of rhetorical questions, and repetition Louv sheds light on the increasing separation between people and nature to his reader– anyone who has either fallen or is falling out with nature.…

    The connection between humans and the land has undeniably been a source of vitality and community for centuries. In recent history, many people are becoming more and more alarmed by the disappearance of this natural land they grew up on, and therefore the memories connected with this land.

    In this passage, Richard Louv states that modern Americans still continue to lose what little contact they have with nature as time goes on, and this trend needs to stop. In order to persuade his intended audience, current adults who grew up in his generation, Louv speaks to them on their own terms by using emotional appeals. Specifically, Louv uses rhetorical questions that cause readers to fully reevaluate their stances on the matter, specific diction that evokes strong emotional responses, and anecdotes that most parents or generation X-ers can agree with. Louv’s rhetorical questions truly involve the audience in a meaningful way. It is nearly impossible to change someone’s mind without first asking him or her to evaluate his or her lifestyle from a different angle.…

    The beauty of the world and the universe is something that is hard to grasp for most people because of the magnitude of how riveting the beauty is. “In the Forest of Gombe” an essay written by Jane Goodall, describes how she was experiencing many different types of beauty from within the forest. The essay describes how we as humans look through many different lenses while we are searching for the meaning of the world. It truly is “our human responsibility” to better understand the awe aspiring world we live in; since, there is so much beauty and that there are so many unknowns that if we leave them unknown we will never grow as a civilization.

    A balance between peripheral and central persuasion cues is necessary when approaching a mature audience. With film, this balance translates to realistic visual representations that are engaging yet not wholeheartedly fictitious. Sinclair 's The Jungle clearly relied on both central and peripheral persuasion cues. Sinclair appealed to people using peripheral cues in the form of strong imagery; one particular passage is especially vivid: “[T]he meat would be shoveled into carts, and the man who did the shoveling would not trouble to lift out a rat even when he saw one—there were things that went into the sausage in comparison with which a poisoned rat was a tidbit. There was no place for the men to wash their hands before they ate their dinner,…

    Demanding more and more breakthroughs and advancements, humankind has given technology permission to drive nature away. The isolation that humanity succumbs to results in nature’s beauty vanishing in the blink of an eye. As Richard Louv argues, the changing culture of our world has resulted in glorifying technology and ignoring nature’s value. Where the accepted synthetic nature makes “true” nature irrelevant. Where looking out the car window rarely occurs; easily replaceable with a television screen on the back of mom’s seat.…
