Read this excerpt from an argumentative essay.
One explanation for why the national parks are so
important is that they provide many Americans with the
opportunity to experience wildlife in its natural habitat.
Every major city in the United States has a zoo, which
is great, but how much more significant is the sight of
a brown bear in its natural setting rather than in a
cage? A trip to a park like Yellowstone National Park
may be the only chance a youngster from a place like
New York City or Chicago will have to behold such a
sight. If we, the American people, were to lose places
like Yellowstone, it would be a travesty.
