How European Farm Animals Devastated New World Ecosystems

This essay argues that no understanding of the Columbian Exchange is complete without acknowledging the drastic consequences of introducing European animals.

Bridget's feedback:

"Your essay is written with verve and solid control over the structure and information. Your confident handling of the supporting details and the broader context help organize the logic of the discussion and strengthen ethos. You'll want to make sure to bring your page into alignment with any formatting requirements as expected by your instructor or any assigned style guide; in the absence of this, still consider using double-spacing and indents for a more polished and professional look (as well as making the document easier to read).

While I appreciate the attention-grabbing hook, I do wonder if comparing the destruction by humans versus animals becomes too cavalier in light of the fraught nature of the discussion around the topic of colonization or invasion. Consider brainstorming some alternative opening lines and framing devices that still grab attention, emphasize scale, and underscore the subject's nature as often forgotten in the other conversations about the changes brought by Europeans."
