Read the excerpt from E.O. Wilson's The Environmental Ethic."
Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also
pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. I have said that a fifth or
more of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020
unless better efforts are made to save them....As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the
Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world as a whole, extinction
rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. They cannot be
balanced by new evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race.
What message does the author convey in this excerpt?
O Humans need to take action to end further destruction of the natural environment.
O In the coming years, humans will put forth stronger efforts to save plants and animals
OThe extinction of plant and animal species is problematic in the Philippines and Ecuador
O In recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased

Read the excerpt from Animal Farm. Mr. Pilkington, of Foxwood, had stood up, his mug in his hand. In a moment, he said, he would ask the present company to drink a toast. But before doing so, there were a few words that he felt it incumbent upon him to say. It was a source of great satisfaction to him, he said—and, he was sure, to all others present—to feel that a long period of mistrust and misunderstanding had now come to an end. There had been a time—not that he, or any of the present company, had shared such sentiments—but there had been a time when the respected proprietors of Animal Farm had been regarded, he would not say with hostility, but perhaps with a certain measure of misgiving, by their human neighbours. Unfortunate incidents had occurred, mistaken ideas had been current. It had been felt that the existence of a farm owned and operated by pigs was somehow abnormal and was liable to have an unsettling effect in the neighbourhood. Too many farmers had assumed, without due enquiry, that on such a farm a spirit of licence and indiscipline would prevail. They had been nervous about the effects upon their own animals, or even upon their human employees. But all such doubts were now dispelled. Today he and his friends had visited Animal Farm and inspected every inch of it with their own eyes, and what did they find? Not only the most up-to-date methods, but a discipline and an orderliness which should be an example to all farmers everywhere. He believed that he was right in saying that the lower animals on Animal Farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the county. Indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately. What results from the human farmers’ visit to Animal Farm? Select two options. The farmers fear that their animals will rebel as well. The farmers are impressed with how well the farm is run. The farmers vow to implement the same kinds of systems. The farmers decide that they want to be a part of the farm. The farmers are upset that the animals distrust

(its a persuasive essay on wether its better to dream big or be realistic)

“Every decision I’ve ever made that led me to the right space and place in my life, I got there because I relied on that inner voice.” Oprah Winfrey had a rough start to her life but didn’t let bad things get in her way because she let herself follow her dreams. Dreaming big will always be the most influential thing in a person's life.

For Instance, In the movie Ratatouille, Remy wanted to be a chef, but he was a rat. His family thought that it was foolish and forbade him from pursuing his dream. His dream motivated him to try harder than ever before. Even though Remy was a rat, he became a chef because he dreamed big. If he didn't dream big, or if he had let his family dishearten him, he wouldn't have ever been able to follow his dream.

Another example of this is Oprah Winfrey. Growing up she was abused by her different family members. She dreamed of making a better life for herself. When she was older she received many rejections. After many failures, her big dreams inspired her to take the next steps in her career. She quit her job not knowing what would happen next and eventually became an international sensation.

Dreaming big will always be something that can give people motivation and create excitement. On the other hand, being realistic can sometimes be a better option. It prepares them for the absolute worst. Sometimes it's hard to be positive in the worst situations. By being Practical people can save themselves from a letdown and be a little more prepared for the unknown.

Being ambitious and dreaming big is a key part of accomplishing seemingly impossible things. It gives people motivation and inspiration. Dreaming big will always be the most influential thing in a person's life.
