Just a question on differing tones within an article. I plan on this being my main point within my paragraph on this certain article. The tones change from outraged and appalled initially, to one where the reader appears to be presenting ideas logically and reasonably and then ends on an optimistic tone. In a paragraph how could i go about explaining this and more so how does this persuasive technique position the reader.
This is the article:
Attacking what parks stand for.
ENVIRONMENT Minister Ryan Smith's statement that the return of cattle grazing to the Alpine National Park was "justified" on the basis of finding out whether it could help mitigate fire in some areas (The Age, 18/1) is an appalling admission of ignorance about the value and purpose of national parks. Agriculture, including grazing, mining, logging and many other material-production enterprises, has been excluded from national parks because it conflicts with the 150-year-old view that nature and nature processes are more important in selected areas now covering more than 10 per cent of the earth.
In Victoria, grazing has been banned in national parks such as Wilsons Promontory National Park for many years. Hence, the return of cattle to the Alpine National Park is an attack on everything the parks stand for and hopefully will be rejected as a result of public opposition and federal intervention.
