Persuasive Essay

For the first reason that people do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk is people may die. In source #3 “Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainier” indicate that rescuer died when he try to save the climbers. As narrated above in the newspaper article, “As Hall… was preparing some of climber for helicopter evacuation… he fell down the mountain’s northeast side from the 13700- foot level… Climbers reached him hours later and confirmed he had died.” This represents it’s very dangerous to tried save people at 13700- foot level high, and the climbers are dangling inside crevasse. Moreover, it proof that rescuers must have to be skilled, otherwise he will lose his life easily. For those who disagree are

Why should park rangers put themselves at risk to save those who choose to climb the mountain aware of the risk? The rangers could die up there trying to save another person’s life, which is very heroic but why should he save him. There could be another incident in the park where someone was not doing anything risky but nature struck. Mountain climbers shouldn’t be able to demand rescue services on the mountain.

“Don't be afraid to have a reality check. Taking risks is OK, but you must be realistic.” Joy Mangano. This proves that although risk-taking can be accepted, you must be experienced in the risk that you’re taking in order to be safe. My first source, Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest is transcribed from Robert Siegel’s radio show, and is a nonfiction radio interview whose purpose is to inform readers. Another source I analyzed is “Why Everest?” The article was authored by Guy Moreau and is a nonfiction article that is meant to inform readers. The third source I researched is Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainier and is a nonfiction newspaper article meant to inform readers. The author of the article is The Seattle Times. People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because it puts more people at risk, it is cost-heavy, and because they choose to risk their lives.

The first reason people do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk is because of the chances of more people dying. The article “Why Everest?” suggests that if you’re going to climb any mountain, make sure you have very good experience. As stated Guy Moreau, “There have been over 250 deaths on the mountain.” This shows that people are climbing high without experience. In addition, it demonstrates that more rescuers are being put in danger. Those who disagree think helping people is good; this argument is wrong because climbers need more experience. Therefore, lack of experience is the first reason people do not have the right to rescue services.

What if you die because help was not able to get you in time or reach you. “There have been over 230 deaths on the mountain… and about 200 bodies are still probably here.” (Moreau 2-3). Any sensible person would shout for help or try to get help right? So if help was requested chances are that many of the 230 deaths on everest was a rescue mission gone wrong. People can be the most experienced or most strong, intelligent people, but when they need help, they can jeopardize themselves in their desperation and make choices that can lead to their death. What if they slip into a crevasse and just as help is about to pluck them out of danger, the ice breaks, sending them to their icy demise. Sometimes even the slightest things can make someone

Did you know that over two-hundred thirty deaths have happened on Mount Everest and that rescue services have only successfully removed thirty bodies? Those people died because they were unprepared by not having enough oxygen or they didn’t plan accordingly. Being unprepared, not being physically fit, and putting other people at risk are three reasons why I think that Rescue Services should not be allowed for people who put themselves at risk.

In all three article, “Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest”, “Why Everest?”, and “Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainier” all have different points of view regarding the issue of emergency rescues of mountain climbers.

One reason people should have the right to rescue services is, when people get rescued it can draw attention to hazards and safety of climbing. In the article "Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainer" it says, "...The loss of our son will draw appropriate attention to the hazards and safety requirements and commitment to be involved in the profession and sport he so loved."(Seattle Times,29). This

Can you save other people’s lives when you are in danger or close to death? I would say “No” most of the time because my life is the most important thing in the universe at least for me. This is a quite difficult and controversial question, but I assume that the majority of people would say no as well. I don’t understand why the climbers take risks that they can die.

When you climb Mount Everest the sherpas who help you sometimes have to choose between your life and theirs. For example, on page 423 in the textbook the author said, “Sherpas play a critical role on Everest expeditions.” There is another example on page 184 in the book Peak, Josh said, “While Leah was treating my frostbite and giving me IV fluids, the man who saved my life died not four feet away from me. His heart gave out.” This means because Josh climbed Mount Everest the sherpa who was guiding him up the mountain sacrificed himself to save Josh’s life. This left the sherpas’ family poor, and Sun-Jo had to work and abandon school to work so his sisters can go to school all because of climbing Mount Everest. This is why I think climbing Mount Everest is a bad idea.

In the radio interview Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest it is said “So in this case, they could only bring one climber at a time. And they got one climber off, and they crashed attempting to rescue the second man.” (Heil, Lines 28-30) This quote validates the fact that helicopters are not equipped enough to handle a lot of climbers in need of any type of treatment. This quote states “...could only bring one climber at a time.”

Imagine you are one of the highest mountains in the world. You don’t care about the risks because there are rescue services to help you. But what if one day they all decide to quit or they don’t come to you in time? There are amazing climbers who are still willing to make the climb but when they make a mistake there won’t be someone behind you to bring you back up when you fall.There are people in this world who are willing to take risks and reach their own Mount Everest but sometimes the price can be too high to bear. For example, having the person who rescued you died trying. That person is part of the rescue services. When climbers are putting their own life on the line, they shouldn’t be demanding the rescue services to save them when they are putting themselves at risk.

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.
