Earth Without People Reaction Paper

  The article Earth Without People basically tells us about what would happen if people in the earth disappeared one day. To my surprised, from the hypothesis listed in the article, the final result of the earth is that it will eventually become the way it used to be.

  The author uses a lot of examples, hypothesis and imageries to prove the point that the earth will start over after human being disappear. For the imageries, “Touching down so lightly that they detonated no land mines” is the sense of touching. It shows how sensitive the mines are. When readers started to read this sentence, readers would imagine how sensitive the mines are. The author also uses the sense of sight. Such as :”the world would mostly look as it did before humanity came along-like a wilderness.” From this sentence, readers can easily image the view that how the earth becomes after human being disappear. The sense of smell also are using in the article. “Wherever foundations failed and buildings tumbled, lime from crushed concrete would raise soil pH. ” When the readers read this sentence, readers would probably get a sense of acid smell.

  The author uses lots of imageries to describe different situations happen when people disappear in the earth. Therefore, people can understand the article easier with those examples and imageries, which I thought is really good for readers to read.
