Analysis of delivery in john muir readings

The john muir readings which I wrote of in my last post are full of feeling and meaning. it is extremely clear how Muir feels about the environment and the state of the world. However, he does not use visuals like photos cartoons etc, to convey this. I think he felt he didn't need them when he sat down and wrote about this topic because it is such an important topic to him. He had such a compelling argument on his own. I think that had he used some photos of the parks he speaks of, it would only have helped to support his argument. However, it wasn't necessary in order to get his message across. He uses visual cues as he switches paragraphs without transitions. This is his harsh way of moving the story forward and keeping the reader on their toes. I think it makes the harsh situation of the environment seem stronger and it enforces the argument further.
