I am also going to add more citations that I forgot to add and try to add information to get an extra page. During your reading of the Final for Now version I would like you to focus on my use of ethos, pathos, and logos. I wasn’t sure if I was using them right or if I was even correctly analyzing each section correctly. I felt like I may have been using too much repetition. As in, during the logos section, I would make references back to ethos or pathos quite often.
Aside from bark stripping, these invasive species also cost the Irish economy millions as they destroy insulation, wires, and stored goods. They also build nests in lofts of houses and other buildings that require an expensive procedure to remove safely. Grey squirrels also prevent woodland owners and farmers from growing and selling timber or nuts for profit. This leaves many farmers without a steady income. While struggling with this income decline, these farmers and landowners have to invest what money they have left into controlling these grey squirrels, in hopes of regenerating their businesses (Williams et al.
Reading the book Into the Wild has really changed my perspective on people’s life. However, Chris was unfortunate to die from starvation, his overall life story has changed the way I think of life. I feel that Chris McCandless has changed and grew by the end of the story very much. Throughout this book, I have been able to identify with Chris in a slight way, even though I do not approve of what he has done with his life. Also, when I finished this book, I had learned something new from Chris’s experience, and it has broadened my perspective on life.
There were no rivers or lakes to provide irrigation and what rain did fall was soon evaporated by the sun. The tools settlers brought with them from the east were useless, as well as the seeds from their previous eastern crops. Plows were not strong enough to cut through the hard ground, and the plants were simply not hearty enough to live in such tough conditions. Even if farmers were able to manage to produce enough crops to feed their families there still wasn't enough to sell to financially sustain their them. The land they had been given to cultivate was nowhere near a fertile and yielded fewer crops.
Tourism has caused habitat loss for those endemic animals of the environment, specifically the pygmy possum. The pygmy possum is endemic to this environment, coz of its extreme weather for breeding and hibernation. The construction of homes and resorts at Mount Kosciuszko has resulted in the loss of habitat for the pygmy possums. The loss of habitat has resulted in man-made homes for these animals. The location of this home for the pygmy possum was made difficult for breeding of these animals.
If they all die there will be more room for the panthers and all the other hard animals. Koalas are weak a pit will get rid of their whole ****ing family. That's why I don't like koalas. Koalas have sharp claws but they are weak. They all small and fat and they be climing trees.

From this map, we can conclude what the New World gained and what the Old World gained. This is important because it leads to the development of food and knowledge of plants and animals. Unfortunately it lead to diseases spreading and killing of many people. Source: Nathan Nunn and Nancy Qian, Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 24, Number 2—Spring 2010—Pages
“There’s no forest where we cannot find poachers. They are everywhere” (“Campaign to Battle Elephant Poaching”). Poaching is the illegal hunting of wild animals that are sold to make a profit. This hurts the population of the species. At times, it even drives the animal to extinction.
2006). The continued reproductive success of these introduced plants is ensured by a lack of naturally management mechanisms including herbivores or diseases in their new habitat. Mangrove forests occur naturally throughout most tropical areas of the world but were not native to the volcanic islands of Hawaii. Since their introduction at the turn of the century, however, they have incorporated vast areas and monopolized resources on the barren sandy shores. A severe lack of natural competitors occurs in these areas as they are continuously inundated by salty water, which is toxic to most plants.
The poaching of any animal, whether it is endangered or not, threatens the vitality of the animal kingdom. The poaching of endangered animals such as elephants has become such a large problem in Africa that game wardens have been granted the ability shoot anyone suspected of poaching on sight (Snyder). The mass killing of these elephants has lead them nearly to extinction. The elephants of Africa are being killed for their ivory tusks that can reach as high as $400 per pound (Begley). Not only are elephants being targeted but other endangered species as well, such as tigers and rhinos.
