Global Warming Critical Analysis

In the article “How Global Warming is Changing the Wild Kingdom” by Ker Than, wants readers to know what global warming is and how it affects people, as well as how it affects animals and how it can be slowed down. One example of this is that, by the end of the next century, the earth’s average temperature may rise up to 10 degrees. Because of this, the polar ice caps will melt and cause seas to rise, which may threaten many coastal communities.  The author also discusses how many of the changes of the earth may lead to endangerment and even extinction of many animals.

The author wants the reader to feel surprised and uneasy by the data and statistics that are being presented on the subject. One way the author does this is by adding shocking and horrifying facts. Because the author uses real facts instead of opinions, it makes the reader more interested and may be more convincing. The author also adds several quotes and opinions from experts on the subject, which adds to the level reliability.

After reading this article, I think that people need to start raising awareness on the subject of global warming. This is because of its many effects on not only people but also plants and animals. Overall, I think that people should be educated on the issue because it will one day affect us all.

Social Action Inquiry Question-The Help

In the book “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett, one of the main characters, Skeeter Phelan, is the one who brings justice to her town by bringing awareness to the issue of racism.

In the book, Skeeter gives up her social life and friends as well as risking her family's trust in her by standing up to her best friends in the hope of making a change. One of Skeeters best friends, Hilly Holbrook attempts to create even more racism and segregation in the town so, Skeeter decides to take a stand in order to make a change in her home town of Jackson Mississippi while making some new friends along the way.

When skeeter gets fed up with the situation of racism in her town, she enlists the help of her friends maids to write a book of true stories about what its like to be a black maid working for a white family. She includes many humiliating stories concerning her “Friends” even though doing this could have many harmful affects. She knew that she could be putting not only herself in dangure but her friends as well from people who had strong opinions on segregation like the K.K.K. or other organizations similar to it and yet she kept going.

I like how Skeeter brought justice in the book because she stood up for what she believed in and in the end she did make a change. She brought down the level of authority from Hilly Holbrook and she raised awareness on the situation, which people actually listened to no matter what the consequences.
