In this set of materials, the reading passage states several attempts to stop the spreading of cane toad in Australia and provides three reasons od support. While in the listening, the professor opposes the text book and says that the attempts are unsuccessful and may cause environmental damage. She also refutes each of the author’s reasons. First of all, the reading passage claims that by building national fence, it will prevent the spread of toad to new area as it used before to control the spreading of rabbits. However, the professor counters this point and explains that cane toads live near rivers and streams which could flood at any time to the other side carrying the young toads and eggs to the other sides.

In the book, toads are seen in subnormal places. The first time a toad was seen somewhere abnormal, Taylor wondered, “So how does a toad get into the middle of the desert?” (172). Given this context, it infers that toads do not belong in the desert. Later, we find out from Mattie, that the toads have learned how to survive and create a belonging in the desert.
Chapter One details the ancestry of frogs and examines the timeline of amphibians on Earth, as well as the increase in frog extinction rate. Kolbert argues that the observed extinction rates which are exceeding expected background extinction rates suggest that catastrophe is ahead for Earth. Humans are key to the extinction of Panamanian frogs due to their spreading of the Chtrid fungus, which is not native to Panama. Thus, Kolbert sees humans

Rachel Carson is a noted biologist who studies biology, a branch of science addressing living organisms, yet she has written a book called Silent Spring to speak about the harmful effects of pesticides on nature. Carson doesn’t write about birds’ genetic and physical makeup, the role of them in the animal food chain, or even how to identify their unbelievable bird songs, yet strongly attests the fight for a well developed environment containing birds, humans, and insects is just and necessary. To Carson, the war for a natural environment is instantly essential for holding on to her true love for the study of biology. Thus Carson claims that whether it be a direct hit towards birds or an indirect hit towards humans and wildlife, farmers need to understand the effects and abandon the usage of pesticides in order to save the environment by appealing to officials, farmers, and Americans in her 1962 book, Silent Spring. She positions her defense by using rhetorical devices such as rhetorical questioning to establish logos, juxtaposing ideas, and using connotative and denotative diction.

Although the fence was built to keep rabbits out of the farmland, it became a symbol of repression, as when it was built, it kept Aboriginal people form interacting with the white population. It was a way of dividing and repressing the Aboriginal people. This is true in other parts of the world as well. For example, the government of Belin built a wall that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989. The Berlin wall divided families who found themselves unable to visit each other. Many East Berliners were cut off from their jobs. The Aboriginal families find themselves unable to raise or visit their own children.
