Changing the ecosystem
a food chain is a series of links between plants and animals. it starts with a plant. the next part of the link is a plant eater. when the prairie plants started to die or be replaced with houses and roads, the animals that depended on them lost their food source. so while the farmers produced more food for people, they broke the animals’ food chain and the animals died or had to move. this was a great mistake. we are paying for that mistake today. and, unfortunately, people still keep making that mistake. they keep breaking the food chains.
a food chain is part of a bigger system called a food web. that web links the living things in an ecosystem. the herbivores in that system depend on the plants. if the plants are removed, the herbivores cannot survive. then the carnivores, the animals that eat other animals, lose their food, too. remove just one kind of plant from an environment and you disrupt the food web. plow up the land and you destroy the whole system. the problem was there were more and more people and less and less natural habitats.

Ask yourself all of the following questions before you even consider submitting your essay for grading. if your answer to even one of these questions is no, then you still have some work to do. does my introduction attempt to “hook” the reader? does my essay have a clear and specific thesis statement? does my essay accurately tell my story? does my essay indicate why i’m telling my story? have i described only my own experiences? have i used the first-person point of view (the pronoun “i”) throughout the essay? have i clearly indicated where paragraphs begin and end? does each of my paragraphs support my thesis statement? does my conclusion summarize and give closure to my essay? have i effectively proofread my essay? have i met the length requirement? is my essay formatted according to the instructions?
