Question: Break the piece down paragraph by paragraph. How does each piece act as a “building block”? How does the writer create dramatic tension or interest through these building blocks?
The text is divided into 5 main blocks. Each block has its unique context and content, which lead to a dramatic tension and interest. It is also a form of completion to the blocks that come after. The first block is a describing of Edward’s job with every small detail. It gives a general idea of what the subject of the text is going to be about. The second block is when Edward introduced the problem between “Industrial Tourism” and the national parks by starting with civil engineers came to build new roads and destroy the nature of the national park. Using this block perfectly shows the relation between the governments and the officials in the national parks. Examples of national parks that were destroyed by building highways, interrupting places by large asphalt parking lots, and doing new roads are the main topic of the third block. It reflects what has happened in these particular parks with unnecessary and destructive development. Fourthly, he talks about how people should use their feet, ride bicycles, horses, and how to break the chains of modern life. The way he explains this concept by showing how fun a person can be when using this kind of transportation builds the whole idea revolves in the mind of author. Finally, the fifth block consists of give some practical proposals for the salvation of both parks and people to solve the problem.
