Red Deer Discourse

Jimmy Carter, Former US President, uses descriptive imagery to capture the audience and draw their attention to the bigger picture of how The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should be saved. Carter's tone reflects the excitement that can be expreienced within the Arctic Refuge, while creating a saddened tone when mentioning what could happen if the Arctic Refuge was overthrown by an industrial economy. The Former US President conveys personification by creating life-like portrayals of his encounters with the wildlife in the Arctic Refuge.

In discussing the Geosphere and Hydrosphere, it is best to group the two together, as they are intertwined immensely. It is also important to introduce the geology of the Assiniboine River Basin – as highlighted by Cummings et al, the Prairies contain a substantial amount of low-permeability quaternary till, which reduces recharge of valley aquafers (Cummings et al, 2012) further adding to the likelihood of flood risk of the floodplains as aquafers struggle to intake surface water. Moreover, the low-lying area of southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba have been drained for agricultural purposes, usually by with artificial means - creating depressions which cause small lakes and ponds from runoff and meltwater to fill, however, as discussed in the article by Szeto et al, extreme wet conditions, temporary drainage networks can connect outflow from ponds to streams (Szeto et al, 2015) which in turn would alleviate some fluvial processes to flood in certain regions. Due to the unprecedented climate conditions in the ARB region, the basin had experienced persistent cool temperatures previous to the April and May high precipitation months. As highlighted by Szeto et al, upper soil layer (0-47mm) remained frozen over the region and

Hunting is very valuable to me, but the value is deeper than just hunting. There are so many aspects of hunting that I love. But I cherish my bow above all of them. Having my bow with me when I’m in the stand or when I’m at my neighbor’s house practicing, gives me a since of dominance. Also brings me pride knowing I’ve worked hard and stayed committed to something I truly love. There are all kinds of animals to hunt and different ways to hunt them. My favorite type of animal to hunt, is the white tail deer. While hunting the allusive deer I like to follow a code of ethics, which a lot of people don’t follow. Even though I would have liked to be given all my hunting needs, I’m proud of myself for going out and getting those needs by myself. Buying my bow and getting into bow hunting, caused me to take responsibility and taught me to stay committed to a true value in my life.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is not only America’s last “truly great wilderness”, but it is home to a multitude of species that would be affected if it were transformed into a place for an oil industry. It is also a symbol of our national heritage where settlers once called it the wilderness. Throughout the essay, Jimmy Carter gives thorough evidence on why we should not destroy this beautiful environment. His evidence includes descriptive language, the use of pathos, and logical reasoning.

In his foreword, President Jimmy Carter proposes his thoughts on oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge. He contends that the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should not be developed for the oil industry. He believes in the preservation of wildlife and the natural beauty that it provides. His argument is solidly structured by a personal anecdote, historical evidence of actions taken towards preservation, and a refutation to advocates of the drilling activity.

In the city of Las Vegas, people go through the daily trails and tribulations that the city has to offer. People constantly on the go, worried about the collection of money, pollution filling our lungs and tackled with the constant worries of reality. Being in the city, it seems as there is no escape from the madness that is being offered. Surrounded by the man made building and artificial light that illuminates the struggle of these streets. Although, there is a place that offers freedom about fifteen minutes away from the cities madness. A place where the air is fresh, a place where gargantuan rocks act as buildings, a place where the sun, moon and stars are the source of light and a place that provides freedom from the worries of the city. This center of nature providing freedom from the busy city life is Red Rock Canyon. Red Rock Canyon as a space has a rhetorical significance as a location of freedom from city life with the multitude of space it provides. Red Rock Canyon serves as an example of space and place in rhetoric and also creates ties to visual rhetoric with the unique scenery and imagery being offered. In addition aspects of memory such as cultural memory and public memory can be connected to Red Rock.

The Confederacy gained support after shots rang at Ft. Sumter on xxx 1861. Before that event, Arkansas preferred to remain neutral and hoped for a peaceful outcome to the divided country. President Lincoln’s decision to issue a call for troops signified an attempt to use violence to preserve the union, and triggered a vote that would change Arkansas forever. The elected leaders of Arkansas by a margin of 69 to 1 passed a disunion ordinance and chose to stand with the Confederate States to oppose Northern aggression, unfortunately there loyalty went underappreciated as Arkansas’ geographical and political significance went overlooked by confederate leaders and their war strategy. This strategic error resulted in limited government support

Former president,Jimmy Carter expresses his opinion about the Arctic Wildlife Refuge and how it should be conserved . With his use of ethos, pathos, and lagos; tone of speech, and choice of diction, he attempts to persuade his audience to not only notice the importance of the Arctic Refuge,but to actually preserve it for the enjoyment of future generations.

In order to persuade his audience effectively, Red Jacket uses many rhetorical devices. One example can be seen when he states “We gave them corn and meat; they gave us poison [rum] in return.” (296) In this phrase, he uses a hyperbole because it is clear that rum is not truly poison in the eyes of many, but because the natives live such a modest and natural lifestyle, alcohol is frowned upon. By using this hyperbole, Red Jacket is able to create an image of how different the European lifestyle is from the Seneca’s. Furthermore, this phrase is most likely included to persuade the Europeans that it’s important to respect each other’s culture, and not force anything unwanted into one another’s society. In addition, the author incorporates parallelism

Jimmy Carter uses many techniques to persuade the reader that the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should not be developed for industry. He uses specific word choices to catch the reader's attention. He uses evidence to show how his his argument is valid. Carter also uses emotional attachment to get the reader to become attached to this article.

Chauncey Yellow Robe, gave a very compelling short speech at the Society of American Indians annual conference. He wanted it to be known that Native Americans would fight for their America to the death, and that the proof shows in all the wars of the past. He was very adamant in showing how Native Americans were very proud to go to war for America, and all Native Americans who fought in war, were going to do so with every ounce of fight they had in them. He uses the words “Indian Patriotism”, (Page 127) to show how Indians really felt about fighting. They were willing to put aside whatever was going on at home to show their Native Pride. He goes on to talk about how Indians have sacrificed their own blood in the name of America. Not only the Indians who were fighting over seas, but those at home who were paying into war bonds and volunteering for anything to do with the

Certain models predict that drought activity is expected to increase toward the end of the 21st century and particularly in the Colorado River Basin (MacDonald & Turner, 21260). When the dam was built in the early 20th century, annual flow was about 17.0 MAF (million acre-feet) at Lees Ferry, Arizona which is a few miles below the dam. Estimates calculating the past MAF of the Colorado River average to about 13.8-14.6 over the last 450 years. Thus, the dam was built in a period with an unexpectedly high MAF. Alarmingly in 2000 the river averaged less than 9 MAF. (Bolin, Seetharam, & Pompeii, 263). In 2002, the river reached a low of about 6.2 MAF (MacDonald & Turner, 21256). Some models estimate that the river could reach the range of 1.5 to 4.5 MAF in the next 30–50 years. (Bolin, Seetharam, & Pompeii, 271). The reduction of MAF in the Colorado River is due to drought. Droughts have been occurring throughout the 20th century with droughts from 1900-1904, 1924-1936, 1953-1964, and 1988-1991. These droughts are associated with warmer regional temperatures and the level of warming is deemed exceptional for the 21st century (MacDonald & Turner, 21257). Recently the Colorado River has experienced the lowest 5 year mean flows on record (MacDonald & Turner, 21257). If river flow is low, so is Lake Powell’s water level. One study suggests that Lake Powell have a 50% chance of receding to inoperable status by the 2020’s

Information that was used to develop my conclusions were relative to the history of Clearwater River such as the average normal discharge of 40,000cfs, the fact that the river can accommodate 55,000cfs before flooding will occur, and that with every increase of 2600cfs the river rises one foot. For example, this information helped to determine that four of the thirteen noted Peak Flood Discharges listed on the worksheet were not at flood stage as the river is able to accommodate discharges less than 55,000cfs. However, nine of the thirteen Peak Flood Discharges listed on the worksheet were at flood stage or drastically above; with the maximum rise of 17.77 feet above and a discharge rate of 101,200cfs. The average discharge rate of the top three noted floods per information on the Stream Gauge Data of Peak Flow Discharges is 93,613cfs, which is resourceful later in determining the extrapolated 75-year flood.

This paper discovers the water budget for Berkeley, California in comparison to Terre Haute, Indiana. The two cities precipitation differs throughout the twelve month calendar year where many of the heavy precipitation months are totally opposite. Berkeley California’s winters, where the majority of rain occurs and Terre Haute, Indiana where the rainfall is observed as consistently disseminated throughout the year evenly. This paper will also magnify geographic position, climate and elevation in contrast of the two cities that reflects the water budget outlined in Project 1: Water Balance defined in
