Summary Of Not Damming Of Yosemite By John Muir

I believe John Muir wrote this book for the purposes of saving the natural areas of Yosemite National Park and to give the readers a detailed glimpse into the park itself through described scenery and vistas. To be thorough, he furthermore details the vegetation that is seemingly spread throughout. Therefore, I believe this work was intended for general audiences and tourists who wish to see the areas themselves. The tone he imparts is whimsical, familiar, doting and informal. He is careful to explain his passion and reasoning behind the arguments of not damming Yosemite. This passion is evident in Chapter 16 as he decries the news about the dam, and persuades readers about the damage that would irrevocably be done if this was to be

It is clearly written as a persuasive essay spread throughout several chapters and outlined to be clear on the matter. The decidedly impartial tone and views he imparts on this book are written and it's clear that he loves this park immensely and wishes to share his passion with readers. There is clearly no room for consideration of an opponent's views, therefore they are not taken into consideration. Consequently, you only have a limited interpretation and the singular view you receive is naturally one sided, furthermore clarifying the ideas that John Muir holds dearly within his own mind. This book is written as though a glimpse is given into his head and into just a speck of what he holds dear in his heart. There is no data to back up this claim, as it's a deeply held conviction for the writer, and that cannot be
