Joy Williams expresses her thoughts on the devoid care of the humans on the environment. She her main concern is humans ripping off of nature and not returning back or working to protect it. Environmentalist, who are supposed to help protect the environment, are like any other consumers, not taking into regards the idea of nature but focussing rather on their own benefits. This idea also plays along in the context of fishing, especially in fishing shrimps. The fisherman`s indifference towards other sea animals has increased the rate of bycatches leading to many deaths of those unwanted species such as turtles. Although society knows that it is wrong to destroy the lives of many innocent sea creatures, it is very negligent about this topic mostly due to where its interest is and how it wants to invest in it. This same belief also is worn off in the way which society destroys the environment to facilitate the lives of the people. People are destroying these virgin lands to build motels and house for their own sake. The author places many rhetorical question entangling the quarries for the readers. The problem doesn't only relate with the environment but with the issue of morals.
In the essay, William writes her essay by directly addressing the problem as the reader`s personal problem. Neither is this way of addressing effective or persuasive. However it can be considered as offensive. Her language and the tone is wonderful, categorized with different and interesting vocabulary. There is a flow in the essay that keeps the reader to stay on track. Although the author addresses the problem directly to the readers by using personal pronouns such as I and you, by the end of the essay, the writer refers to the problem as being our problem that we can solve together. This was very compensating and encouraging to the readers.
