While many people might scoff at the very concept, light pollution is fast becoming a serious problem. Light pollution most comm

only occurs when the beam of a high-wattage fixture is aimed toward the sky. When a spotlight is used to illuminate statues or buildings, for example, some of the light falls on its intended target, while the rest of the light beam is left to scatter into thin air. The result is an effect called urban sky glow, which is essentially a giant shroud of misdirected light that hangs over a city in the night sky. While some may find this phenomenon picturesque when seen from an airplane, it is the reason why only the very brightest stars are visible to citizens of urban environments. As light pollution continues to increase, it is entirely possible that future generations of city dwellers will not be able to see any stars at all. Humans are not the only victims of light pollution; some wildlife species are adversely affected as well. Nocturnal animals such as owls and bats are driven from their own habitats when excessively bright lighting is introduced to these areas. As the growing amount of light pollution causes the habitats of nocturnal creatures to shrink, they will have a more difficult time finding food and breeding successfully. This will inevitably result in a serious population decline unless something is done to keep light pollution in check. Light pollution is a prime example of how most humans habitually consume energy without any consideration of the consequences. It is time that we stop turning a blind eye to the state of the world around us. Working to reduce light pollution is the perfect place to start. Is it truly necessary to have 50 spotlights illuminating trees on a corporate lawn? Is it essential for a restaurant that closes at midnight to have a flashing neon sign operating around the clock? Was the new outlet mall's grand opening only a success because of the 2-megawatt searchlights that hurtled their beams at the stars? Nothing is gained from such blatant waste of light energy. What is the purpose of this essay?

Essays are usually stating a point they think should be brought to "light".
haha a pun
but seriously
just from context i hope you can see certain things the author continually brings up. such as a person constantly talking about a one subject every time you talk to them. but to really answer the question read the essay a couple of times and look at the different arguments or reasons he or she states against or in support for their prompt. in this case light energy. is he or she arguing against use of it or certain resources it drains? try and find these points and highlight different sentences that show this and then it will show what the point of the essay is.

hope this helped and will help in further time spent analyzing essays

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The author couldn't follow his dreams because of the job market failure. He was an English major and wanted to be a writer but couldn't get the job. He tried for several months to get a job with no luck until he heard about an opening in a newspaper business. Nobody wanted the job so he took it. He didn't believe he could be a reporter because he never thought about it before. He wanted to write, not ask questions.

The failure of the job market shaped a motivator externally in the short story. If the job market was thriving, he would have probably found a writing job somewhere else instead of the reporter job he took. He would have never found his true passion for reporting with the failure.

Comparison/Contrast: This type of text examines the similarities and differences between two or more people, events, concepts, ideas, etc.
