Earth without people :)

1) Paragraphs 7 and 8 talk about the sequence of events about nature and the destruction of New York City. And it describes how cement would split and weeds will grow in the city. And many of the chains are repeated throughout the essay in paragraph 14,15, and 22. 4) In the essay, Weisman writes about different cities like New York, Korea and Colorado. I think the details are necessary and help the reader understand what he's talking about. And the visuals help the reader picture Earth with no humans and how it would be. If the effects weren't there I think I won't understand how it would look like. 5) The visuals that Weisman uses are detailed and help the essay become more understandable. It gives us a lists the places and the details and helps visualize the cities with no humans. One way he would have made the essay better would be maybe adding some events that would lead if there were no humans for example everything freezing or any scientific effects that would take place.
