Pollution

By: Blue Cain

Have you ever saw trash just lying around and it made you want to do something about it? Well in the texts “Drinking Water: Bottled or from the Tap?” by Catherine Clarke Fox and “Art for Ocean Animals” by Elise Jonas-Delson, they are doing something about it. The two texts are talking about the very heated issue pollution. In this essay, I will compare and contrast the authors point of view on pollution.

The authors point of view is very similar in numerous ways. One example, is in both “Drinking Water: Bottled or from the Tap?” by Catherine Clarke Fox and “Art for Ocean Animals” by Elise Jonas-Delson agree that pollution is bad. In both text the authors state that pollution is affecting our earth, our animals, and our lives. My second example, is that they both think that people are needed if we want to fix the issue of pollution which is getting bigger and bigger every day. My third and final reason, is that they both mention that recycle can be turn into something that betters our lives. In the passage “Drinking Water: Bottled or from the Tap?” it states that recycle can be turned into cozy fleece clothing our a nice carpet and in “Art for Ocean Animals” by Elise Jonas-Delson the author states that recycle can be turned into  beautiful art and magnificent sculptures. In conclusion, the authors have very homologous opinions on pollution.

Even with the many similarities the authors still have a very disparate point of view on pollution. One example, is in “Drinking Water: Bottled or from the Tap?” by Catherine Clarke Fox they only mention ways to help on land and the passage states that you can help by picking up trash and just recycling it. Unlike, that “Art for Ocean Animals” by Elise Jonas-Delson only mentions ways to help on land. One example is that the passage says that you should create something with it or just recycle it. Also, the author in “Drinking Water: Bottled or from the Tap?” by Catherine Clarke Fox only mentions the affects that it will have on us not our animals or environment. The passage indicates that if we don’t start recycling our earth could become endangered. While on the other hand the article “Art for Ocean Animals” by Elise Jonas-Delson they mention how the animals are being affected.  For example, the passage vocalizes that many turtles are being caught in nets that are just floating around in the ocean and sadly the turtles slowly die. The text “Art for Ocean Animals” by Elise Jonas-Delson mentions how one person can effect pollution. It states that the one girl is affecting the issue of pollution. On the other hand, the passage “Drinking Water: Bottled or from the Tap?” by Catherine Clarke Fox it says that everyone is needed to stop pollution. The text states that one person really doesn’t have an effect on pollution, but if we all work together we can stop it. The two passages “Drinking Water: Bottled or from the Tap?” by Catherine Clarke Fox and “Art for Ocean Animals” by Elise Jonas-Delson are different in numerous ways.

I can finalize, that the authors have very alike yet divergent opinions of the issue of pollution. I know that I am glad that people are stepping up and doing something because even today we are seeing dramatic affects with our environments, food chains, and our daily lives. So next time you see a piece of recycle lying around, please just pick it up and just recycle it.
