1. The issue in question is the depletion of the Earth’s rainforests. The importance of the issue is clearly stated throughout the essay.
2. There are four very distinctive perspectives in the essay. The perspectives in this essay are those of the locals, businessmen, medical researchers, and environmentalists. The thesis is very informative and concise as it clearly states what the four different perspectives are and that they each differ from one another.
3. The introduction and the conclusion do offer very effective leads. This can be determined from how well of a job that the introduction does in introducing the reader to basic background information on the topic. The conclusion is also an effective lead in that the author says how he or she would like to continue his or her research on the topic, showing that the topic will continue to be an issue of concern in the future.
4. I found the essay to be very effective in many parts. I thought the author provided a lot of solid information in his or her body paragraphs, such as the information about the plant, which raises the survival rates of child leukemia patients from 20% to 80%. I would have suggested to the writer to maybe provide a couple worst-case scenarios if society to chose to go to either extreme on the deforestation issue. However, I found the essay to be fantastic and not needing much in the way of improvement.
