Comment on Hannah's Review

 

In Hannah’s review of the article “Savoring Bogs and Moose, Fearing They’ll Vanish as the Adirondacks Warm”, she was able to explain very directly the problem that was being looked at. Hannah made it quite clear that global warming is threatening the future of the environment of the Adirondack Mountains. Hannah was also able to connect this article to everyday life in a way that was very easy to comprehend by explaining that the Catskills are part of the Adirondacks and are very close to Westchester. This made me feel like if something wasn’t done about this problem, I would have to deal with the repercussions. In her review, she also explained all the problems that people who depend on the environment of the Osgood River have had to deal with already, and how if gone unchecked, global warming could be another hurdle in their lives.

            Although overall the article was very informative with a great personal touch, there were some noticeable flaws. There are many spelling mistakes throughout the article, which, in addition to the already choppy structure of the sentences, made reading the article a bit difficult. Hannah could also have included less on Jerry Jenkins, and more on the problem that was the title of the article.

            This article informed me of the dangers of global warming. Living in this area of the world, I have not noticed that many signs of its occurrence locally, but this article contains a warning that, if emissions aren’t cut down, the effects will start to be seen.
