Quote:
“Unfortunately, all Muir’s efforts, all the newspaper editorials and telegrams, and all the protests of the Sierra Club and other organizations were not enough. On December 6, 1913, when the issue finally came to a vote, forty-three senators voted in favor of giving the City of San Francisco permission to flood the Hetch Hetchy Valley…The loss of this beautiful valley, supposedly a protected area within a national park, was a major defeat for Muir…However, some good did come from this great disappointment. Public awareness had been stirred and no violation as destructive as the damning of the Hetch Hetchy had happened again in a national park” (Warrick 103-104).
Prompt:
Has a terrible event like this happened in your country? How did the public respond? What good came out of a bad situation? Describe the situation in detail, and then explain what good came from it. If you can’t think of a public situation, describe a personal situation.
