Brimhall AP Language and Composition 3/12/13 As a unique individual, human beings have distinct aspects in which differentiates one from the other. These qualities range from physical appearances to philosophical views to apparent opinions. These are the qualities that make you, you. In the passages based on the Okefenokee Swamp, each writer displays one of these aspects, voice of opinion. In Passage 1, the writer carries on an optimistic sense of style throughout their clause.
In contrary, the writer in Passage 2 has negative-affiliated diction to reflect their views and or experiences within Okefenokee. Like the vines twisting and turning in the heart of the swamp for a new world view, each author has a distinct writing style for a new louder voice. The Okefenokee Swamp is buoyantly described as “meandering channels of open water forming an intricate maze” (18), filled with “exotic flowers”(19), and “diverse abundant wildlife”(21-22) in Passage 1. With an idealistic diction, the writer gives the swamp a sense of warm welcoming to the readers.
In correlation with the buoyant description, the writer also takes their time on giving key facts about the swamp as well. “Okefenokee Swamp, primitive swamp and wildlife refuge in southeastern Georgia and northern Florida… approximately 25 mi wide and 40 mi long”(1-4).
The writer then specifies about the wildlife and species inhabited there for a basic apprehension on what lies within the swamp; “with at least 175 species, of birds and at least 40 species of mammals , which include raccoons, black bear, white-tail deer, bobcats… (21-24).
The Essay on Issues That Surround The Dramatic Declines Of Species Are Complex

As a counter balance, the writer in Passage 2 doesn’t share the same admiration as the writer does in Passage 1, if any. By describing the Okefenokee Swamp as “unfathomable” (1) and “unconquerable” (1), the readers can’t help but imagine the swamp as some sort of wasteland. Although the writer does incorporate the acknowledgment of wildlife, they disregard their niche by describing them as “stink” (26) and how they “ screech through every minute of everyday and night till the place reverberates like some hellish zoo” (27-28).
Despite the personal views given by each writer, Okefenokee Swamp inevitably remains as a vast refuge for abundant wildlife. Although both individuals don’t see eye to eye, they both share the common interest of articulating their opinions whether it is a positive approach or a negative approach. Either way both opinions are apparent and eloquently expressed.
