In this essay Megan Garber writes about snowflakes. She says that no snoflake is exactly like the other and how unique each one is. In her first paragraph Garber introduces her topic and in the second one she talks about Wilson Bentley and Alexey Kljatov , college students that are specialized in photographing snowflakes. She defines what they are saying that they are invisible to the human eye and that ony a microscope or a a very specialized camera can see it. She gives a small tuturial teaching how anyone could actually take a picture of a snowflake with a camera and simple objects anyone can find at home. In the end she exposes various pictures of beautifual and detailed snowflakes that the camera captured.
The authors purpose was to inform about snowflakes and also teach the readers how they could take a picture of one at their own homes. Garber achieves her purpose because she sucessfuly and objectively informs the reader about snowflakes. In a very concise yet effective essay she is able to get her message across and tell the reader about her topic. The pictures that she exposes are very entertaining and explicative. It could be argued that the pictures composed a great portion of her essay because they ere a type of magnet that attracted the reader to the essay. She also quotes how the experiment was made, this helps in Garber's credibility because she gets information from other sources and makes it evident that her ingormation is trustworthy.
