“The Last Wilderness Preserve” and “A New Land Of Opportunity” present different arguments about the impact they believe human behavior may have on Antarctica.

A person can be resilient if he/she experience positive life events such as a job promotion, wedding, birth of a new child or having a new pet.

The passages titled, “The Last Wilderness Preserve'' by Kendra Washington and “ A New Land of Opportunity” by Micheal Serillio both accommodate a familiar topic about the continent of Antarctica. However, though both passages contain the same concept, both writers (Kendra Washington and Micheal Serillio) have contrasting opinions on if human action should be permitted in Antarctica. In spite of their disagreement, Micheal Serillio’s passage uses stronger reasoning, various evidence and a preferable

Jamestown, Virginia was the first English Settlement to be made in the New World and many people wanted to know more about it.

Most of this change can be attributed to the arrival of the first Europeans, and their views of the land and the natives already established on the land.

Through this combined effort the Europeans took a land of plenty and transformed

with a vision. Leopold saw the land as a complex living being, interactions between each tree, each bird, as vital as the organs that comprised the body of that being. This makes sense since Leopold was an ecologist, among many other things. Throughout his essays in the wonderful ‘A Sand County Almanac' Leopold shares his vision, his passion, for the land. The essays we transport the reader from the snowy forests of Wisconsin to the craggy slopes of picturesque New Mexico, all the while we learn
