The Good Earth

Achieving Author’s Purpose: A Successful Creation Myth Have you ever wondered how Earth came to be? Everyone has heard of different creation stories whether they were fictional or reasonable stories. “The World on the Turtle’s Back” is a an Iroquois creation story that displays the Earth beginning, and the balance of “good” and “evil.” “Creation stories often serve many purposes. According to Larry Evers and Paul Pavich, scholars of Native American literature, such stories’ remind people of…

Overview The Earth goes through many natural changes like sea levels slightly changing, earthquakes, and tornadoes. Global warming has greatly increased and became one of biggest contributors to the changes on the Earth. Immediately I decided I wanted to learn more about global warming. Global warming has changed climate a lot since when I was younger. Right now it is December 18th and we have no snow. I think this is the first winter that we have had no snow; usually there is so much that we…

the atmosphere, trapping radiation, and heating the Earth. Humans are depending on fossil fuels that release these emissions. Though we have increasingly started depending on renewable resources that don’t release these harmful gases into the atmosphere, we can already see the effects today and if this doesn’t stop now the planet will be destroyed. The human intervention that people have depended on with the environment is destroying the Earth. Some people want to do nothing, but if they do…

movie with both good and bad science. One example of bad science from the movie is a bunch of people with pacemakers dieing due to the disruption of the electromagnetic field. Even though a electromagnet disruption could stop a pacemaker from working according to futurity.org the earths magnetic field will never completely shut down. One example of both good and bad science is when a bunch of birds crash into a bunch of stuff also due to the disruption of earth's magnetic field. It is good…

day, while climate is more long term, and is the long term trend over hundreds to thousands of years. We are releasing tons of gases and dust particles into the earth 's atmosphere every day, and so the salient question becomes: What type of effect do these gases have on our atmosphere? Most climate scientists would agree that the earth 's climate is influenced by many different factors, but the most fundamental concept in climate science is that the incoming solar energy is balanced by the…

global climate change and its alleged impact on the Earth and American industry seem to even grip the President’s administration as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Scott Pruitt has held the headlines lately with his seemingly absurd and wavering stance on the subject (Bacon, 2018). The strange thing is that both sides of the debate do not seem to disagree on the science of how greenhouse gases can have an effect on the Earth, but the debate begins on whether there is a…

created the earth. The Skyworld believes that many people have a ability to help create things for the earth. Judeo-Christians and Sky world have more differences than aliks. The two stories are alike in ways like the animals the animal are there to help the people of their land. Also woman cause the problems throughout their life they make life more difficult for men. Another one is that they have two boys that are good and evil. the main one that is alike is that they are creating the earth…

with human activity. Anthony Lupo gives claims to this belief such as "carbon dioxide is not a pollutant as many claim. Carbon dioxide is good for plant life and is a natural constituent of the atmosphere. During Earth’s long history there has been more and less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than we see today" ("Global Warming"). Carbon dioxide may be good for plants but according to data the last time there was this much carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, modern humans didn't exist.…

Our planet Earth is the perfect place to sustain life – not too hot, not too cold, but between the two. However, that could change if global warming continues. Each year, greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere increase, thereby increasing the Earth's overall temperature. Global warming could lead to devastating effects on weather patterns, economics, agriculture, and even our health. To prevent or slow down global warming, we need to get people more informed of global warming and take steps…

“Here” by Wislawa Szymborska is a persuasive poem about life on the Earth. Szymborska carefully describes different aspects of life on Earth in this poem and talks about how people are. Also, Szymborska uses diction, tone, repetition, and analogies to persuade and show that living on Earth is not as bad as it seems. The poem “Here” begins with the speaker talking about emotions, tools, and objects that are available on Earth with a casual tone. The speaker then states that “There may be more…
