which animal is going to live in that ecosystem. Furthermore, deforestation destroys animal and plant homes. Most plants and animals cannot survive the deforestation, which ends up ruining their habitats.

weakness as a writer is showcased in the rough draft of my first essay titled “Take One For The Team.” In the essay, I include facts about deforestation in order to relate back to my thesis on how society turns a blind eye to the corruption similarly depicted in the story of “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.” For example, I excessively explain as, “deforestation allows us to expand on communities and contributes positively to businesses and finding working jobs for people, but causes suffering onto

The demands for such items increase within six months to the year. The more it increases the more suffering the livestock deals with. Although it’s extremely important to feed every living creature especially
