From "A Sand County Almanac" by Aldo Leopold

What is the writer purpose? And who is the audience?
By reading the two chapters of the “A Sand County Almanac”, which are “Wisconsin” and “The land Ethic” we can conclude that Leopold in his writing tried to bring the reader’s attention to have a human conscience towards the use of land. From “Wisconsin” the writer wants to show what is pretty in nature to enjoy it. People in Wisconsin have the likability to the cranes. Moreover, the appreciation of the bird increases when people get to know its history. This is confirmed when Leopold talks about the Holy Roman Emperor and Kublai Khan in Page 267. In “The land Ethic”, the writer comes up with a new definition to the term ethic by relating a person’s relationship to the land, animals, and plants that live on it.
The audiences are general people living on this earth.
