In the first paragraph the author is saying that she wants everyone to live the way she does in america
with clean water, food, and shelter. The author says that he or she wishes Nicaraguan families can live
the same life as american familes, and be provided with the same living standards.
In the second paragraph the author is saying that maybe not everyone can live in the comfort like
americans do, because if everyone is living our lifestyle than the air pollution, global warming, destruction
of forests, and harm to wildlife will be affected. The author thinks that scientists won't find an alternative
energy source, and what will need to happen is america needs to cut down on their consumption.
The first paragraph explains the author's sympathy toward under developed countries and the hopes the
author has that life for these people will get better.
The author introduces his feelings in the first sentence and goes on to tell the personal story that sparked
the feelings and the subject of the paragraph.
The second paragraph contrasts the first one in that the author describes why it might be good that other
countries aren't as developed and then goes on to question the future of our energy sources.
The author begins this paragraph with a questionable theory to give a new perspective on society's views
on the "good life" and then goes on to explain the dangers of all countries having the luxuries that we do.
1.) The writer recently visited Nicaragua, observing thier living conditions, and wishes them a more
fortunate life in the future. The writer has some concerns in giving them a better life though.
2.) The writer believes that if other countries had the living opportunities such as America, global
warming and air polution and harm to wildlife would be a greater risk than they already are
around the world. Because the writer visited Nicaragua and saw their living standards, the writer
believes that giving other countries materials to have the same living standards as America would
only harm the world in the long run.
The summary was about the standard of living in second and third world countries and how different it is
from the United States. The first paragraph relates to the second because at first the author is comparing
the second and third world countries to the United States and wishing that they were more like the US but
then discusses what would happen to the world if that really happened.
The second paragraph was about what would happen to the world if all of the second and third world
countries became just like the United States. The second paragraph ties into the first one because the
author is discussing what would happen to world if it was like how he wishes it was in paragraph one.
The first paragraph talks about how bad the standard of living is in the second and third world countries,
compared to the US standard of living.
The second paragraph tells us about our impact if the third world countries would have our standard of
living, it would increase air pollution, destruction of forests, global warming, and harm to wildlife, and the
depletion of oil reserves. Global warming would increase to.
The author points out the living conditions of people in second and third world countries and states how bad they
are. He or she then compares them to other first world countries.
The author states his or her own personal living conditions and says maybe it’s the first world countries that the
problem. They then go into detail about the problems and give some examples to fixing them.
In the first paragraph the author is expressing their desire for Nicaraguans to have a better standard of life
and to be pulled out of poverty.
In the second paragraph however the author is contemplating the consequences of that higher standard
of living as in pollution.
In this first paragraph the author persuades the reader to feel empathetic towards underpriviledged
countries. The author takes the reader through how Nicaraguans live compared to how Americans live.
Paragraph two changes direction, taking the reader into not who
Second and third world countries have it much harder than first world countries by standard of living.
Although it would only be fair that the second and third world countires would attain the same standards
of living, it would also be dangerous to the world.
Second and third-world countries are much more underdeveloped than the U.S. They live very simple
compared to the U.S. which reduces pollution, global warming etc.
One day there may be a discovery of alternative energy sources to undo the damage we have done to
the Earth. The American's standard of living may be the wrong way to go because of so much damage
they are doing to the Earth.
TEXT 1
Text one is about how the writer sympathize for the people of Nicaragua because they live in poor conditions
The second text relates to the first text because it contrasts her lifestyle from Nicaragua lifestyle.
TEXT 2
Talks about the writer lifestyle of growing up in an environment which is very polluted
The second text the writer looks at living in America in a different perspective.
American's have a better standard of living than the poor people in the second and third world countries.
Most Nicaraguans live in a one room home made from tin and cinder blocks, while Americans have things
like hot water, nutricious foods, numerous bedrooms, cars, sidewalks, driveways, pools, and hot tubs.
If second and third world countries had the same standard of living as American's, it would pose a greater
risk for the world than we already do.
The first paragraph talks about how low the standard of living is in countries such as Nicaragua.
Nicaraguans do not have electricity, plumbing, enough food, or even large enough homes for the whole
family.
The second paragraph talks about how achieving higher standards of living also result to major damage
to the planet. To live like Americans the other countries would also have to pollute the air, destroy forests,
and contribute to global warming so perhaps the solution is for Americans to cut back on the damage that
they are doing to the environment now.
1st Paragraph: The author explains that less fortunate countries should get to experience how most
Americans live. The author compares what Americans have to what the third world countries don't.
2nd Paragraph: The author contemplates what would happen if the other countries were to gain a more
fortunate style of living. The author discusses the depleting state of the environment in America, and
questions if this would be the same outcome in the third world countries
The author hopes that Nicaraguans, who live in depression and despair, can one day enjoy the luxuries we as
Americans share today. The paragraphs discusses that the citizens of Nicaragua live in less than perfect conditions,
and leads into the next paragraph questioning why our lives in America are considered “model”
If the style of living was the same everywhere else as it was here, then our planets resources and the planet itself
would die much faster. The paragraph questions why American style of living may not be the way to go.
