Reflection

These two texts have the same topic, but they are quite different. In four to six complete sentences, explain which text would best motivate readers to protect and preserve nature from human influence. Explain why you think the text you have identified would be more effective than the other text. Use examples from your chart to support your position. Your paragraph has been started for you.

The blackness would best motivate readers to protect and preserve nature because it is emotional, and is about a bird that has been covered in oil that was spilled into the ocean at the beach. This story is told from the point of view of a bird who got covered in oil and cannot see. The story makes the reader feel sad picturing the bird covered in oil that cant see that has been hurt by humans spilling oil into the ocean and on the beach. The way the story is told, you start to think about being at the beach and seeing a bird covered in oil with your family, and how awful that it would be to be that bird, This makes me feel like I want to do something to prevent oil spills in the future so that other birds aren’t covered in oil like this one is. This story uses feelings and thoughts, and point of view, which helps make the reader feel emotional and want to stop oil spills.
