According to the Merced County San Luis Wildlife Refuge website, a quarter of the refuge is covered in wetlands which provides “major wintering ground and migratory stopover of waterfowl, shorebirds, and other water birds.” In spring, the water levels recede and eventually evaporate which allow wildflowers like purple clovers and goldfields to grow. The plethora of flowers create a colorful scenery. Aside from the flowers, the refuge “contains approximately 300 acres of cultivated corn and…

observing the world in it’s natural habitat can see the importance of preserving our wildlife. In Jimmy Carter’s attempt to save the wildlife refuge in Alaska he uses reasoning, evidence, the past, and personal experience in the wild.

Jimmy Carter starts by exonerating the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and describing its natural beauty and magnificence. He does…

In a foreword to Subhankar Banerjee's book, former President Jimmy Carter makes an argument against allowing drilling and industrial activity in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In his defence of his position, Carter effectively uses a combination of factual evidence, style, and appeals to emotion to persuade the reader of his ideas. Carter starts the foreword off by describing a time when he went to the Arctic Refuge with his wife, and recounting all of the Refuge's natural beauty, from…

People may say the “selfie” was invented in the last decade; in reality wildlife have been taking their own pictures for over a century (okay--maybe not intentionally). Believe it or not, remotely triggered camera techniques date back to as early as1889! Both during and after his time as a U.S congressmen and lawyer, wildlife enthusiast George Shiras, was one of the original folks to design a camera trap. Born in 1859 in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, he went on to dedicate his life to photographing…

As a protector of nature and a relevant character on the history of this nation, Jimmy Carter decided to built an argument in order to persuade his audience that the Arctic National Wildlife Refugee should remain as itself, and not be used as another human tool in order to satisfy his ephemeral ambitions. The ex-president manages personal experiences as well as a great development of his ideas. Also, his persuasive written style is remarkable, which appeals to emotions without using an esoteric…

On 05/29/2016 at approximately 19:11 hours I was in the parking lot of Nick’s Park located at 7929 US 19 in the City of Port Richey.

While doing so, I observed a grey 2015 Toyota pickup truck driving around the parking lot loop at a high rate of speed. The vehicle approached the rear of a tow truck summoned by FWC. The…

Jimmy Carter applies a crafty choice of words in his foreword, beginning with his representation of the wildlife reserve. He mentions how he gazed at the “brilliant mosaic of wildflowers, mosses, and lichens” and reminisced when “the sweep of tundra before [them] became flooded with life.” By pointing out the elegance and allure of the ANWR, he presents the refuge as more than simply mountains and trees. He portrays it as an area with depth, soul, and life, touching the hearts of the audience.…
