The Ecological Rift: Capitalism's War on the Earth Literary Elements

Ecological Book

The book is written in the context of environmental issues.

Third-person narrative

Educative and helpful

The central character is Evo Morales.

The main conflict is that the environment in the modern century is facing the worst catastrophe in history due to pollution and the destruction of the ozone layer that impacts climate change negatively.

The climax is that people are ignorant of their activities that harm the environment because their primary intention is profit. Therefore, people do not care when they are manufacturing while emitting carbon dioxide to the environment. Similarly, people do not care much about clearing forests when they engage in logging activities.

Human activities foreshadow the destruction of the environment and the negative impact of climate change.

Human ignorance is understated in the book. People engage in activities that destroy the environment because their priority is making money. The same ignorant people forget that their life and that of future generations are endangered.

The story alludes to the impact of human activity on the environment.

The imagery of wealth and power is one of the most prominent in the book. The author describes the activities and businesses conducted by wealthy people and those in power. For instance, logging and manufacturing and perfect images that explain why the world is facing climate challenges.

The main paradox is that capitalism is doing more harm to the environment than good. Capitalism fuels rivalry, encouraging people to do whatever they can to make a profit with total disregard for environmental conservation.

The efforts of environmental conservation parallel the business intentions of capitalists.

N/A

The environment is personified when the authors say it is on the verge of death due to human activities.
