In the “Big Burn” by Timothy Egan, the story takes us back to the wildfire of 1910 that consumed more than three million acres in the states of Idaho, Montana, and Washington D.C. This wildfire has changed the forest lifestyle forever. One Morning, in August 21, 1910 the entire town of Wallace had lost a number of cities due to the great blaze. In that event, innumerable political reactions and positioning transformation had been made. Even for Theodore Roosevelt, who was the governor of New York, Vice president of the United States, and became US president after president William McKinley was assassinated in the year of 1901.
In this report I will explore the book Fire in The grove written by the author John C. Esposito. The book specifically describes the event of the fire, the reasons behind it, and who was responsible for this horrific disaster. The author explains that the main reasons of the fire were the structure of The Grove and the layout it was portrayed in. Later giving solutions on how to react if such incident happens as I explain further in the report.
Sarah K. Castle, in her scientific fiction “The Mutant Stag at Horn Creek” develops the story to tell the nature-culture hybrids and its effect on human-kind and other creatures. The story sets in one location called “Horn Creek” and the main character “Sue” a park ranger and a narrator of the story. The author shows the effect of human meddling with natures at the very beginning of the story. A “Grand Canyon” which is the story plays had been mined and it starts to be closed for visitors and Horn Creek was one of them. In this fiction author is more about to say that human kind intervention in nature is the reason for the natural world disaster.
A hearth uses fire to warm a home and spread the warmth around, as a salamander is said to be completely unaffected by fire. When Clarisse learns information, usually from her parents or
The son and father use their fires to heat their cold bodies, while the mother used her fire to kill her baby. Another example of destruction by fire are the spontaneous fires that occur through the land. The man witnessed a “forest fire was making its way… flaring and shimmering against the overcast like the northern lights” (pg 31). Forests, typically lush and ripe with life, were rendered dead by the quick spreading fire. The destruction that the spreading fires caused is seen all throughout the environment.

Kevin Dickinson’s article, "The invention that made us human: fire" guides readers into understanding how fire assisted human evolution.. Dickinson explores the topic of why fire made us human in his article and gives the reader scientific examples that would help expand their knowledge. Dickinson uses rhetorical writing skills to create an idea for the reader of how fire led to what present humans are now compared to our human ancestors. In the article, Dickinson uses scientific evidence that allows the reader to understand where this stands on a scientific level, tone of the article, and uses a variety of other writing strategies. All of those parts add up to put a well-written informative article into perspective that allows the reader to gain the important information of why fire made us human.
In the passage “The Osage Firebird” the author structures the story in a specific way. The author organizes it in a way where things in one paragraph will help develop things that happen in a paragraph latter on. In the passage the author talks about one thing and and that helps develop the rest of the story. Since the author has the passage in specific sections this helps the development and organization of the story even more. In this essay I will be describing how the author organized this passage to were things in one paragraph help other things later on in the story develop.
He discussed lots of ways to address this issue of wildfires and climate change. For example, there needs to be fire management for forests. Some of the effects of climate change are irreversible, so starting wildfire management can help stop the environment from being destroyed. Another thing that people can do is to help rebuild habitats that wildfires and climate change have already destroyed. His article is mostly trying to raise awareness and open people's eyes to the terrible effects of climate change and how it is causing wildfires.
Description: “The First Fire,” a mythological story of how fire came to exist on earth, has been told by Cherokees tribes for many years. According to the myth, the world first began as a cold place inhabited by countless creatures. There were many animals at that point that existed, but the problem was they needed something to keep them warm from the cold. This Cherokee myth states the Thunders who lived beyond the sky sent lightening to strike a hollow sycamore tree on an island. The animals that lived on earth saw the smoke coming from the island and all of them immediately decided they needed to go get some fire and bring it back so that they could stay warm.
Prescribed fires are very useful. They do many things to help like reduce hazardous fuels, help stop the spread of insects and diseases, recycles nutrients back into the soil and many more. These examples show that prescribed fires are helpful for the population. whether it be the animals or the people, they help in major ways. These help the animals in more ways than they help us, but if they help the animals, that means that they're well fed and that is good for everyone.
Fire is correlated with survival and usually have an important role. The beginning the fire is need to survive. Not only for warmth and for making life on the island more comfortable for the kids. Fire is seen as the most primitive usage for cooking their food and using it as light for the night time.
Wildfire and the Birth of a Forest// There was a time, before our ancestors smashed together flint and steel, when they felt the cold lack of fire in their lives. Before they learnt to make it themselves, humans would have relied on lightning fire, which struck the earth sporadically and razed grasses and forests. They understood the huge value of this catastrophe: by scooping up burning coals and nurturing the flames, humans suddenly had a guaranteed source of light and warmth. Fire gave us the ability to cook food and clear land, and became central in many rituals and traditions.
The documentary Earth on Fire portrays the issue of rising forest fires as an immediate concern, using techniques and information targeted to an audience who are unaware of the issue; whereas the article by Emily S. Hope is targeted to a scholarly
Bojocco et al(2010) Reported that fire has a major role in the determination of diversity and vegetation dynamics. It has influence on landscape structural diversity (Weatherspoon and Skinner 1995). The frequent occurrence of forest fires has been one of the vital reasons for the exhaustion and extinction of most of the biodiversity. This results in partial or complete degradation of vegetation cover or fragmentation of the forest thus modifying the radiation balance by growing the surface albedo, water runoff and raising the soil erosion (Darmawan and Mulyanto, 2001). Historical study of forest fire is significant for ecological and forest management applications(Iniguez et al. 2008).
