This week I definitely learned a lot about searching and finding articles in the library. I have had a lot of experience in previous classes working with the library, yet for some reason I still have trouble. So after finding the articles I wanted to read in the basement of the library, I felt pretty proud of myself; it was stressful, but rewarding in the end.
The articles also taught me a lot about McPhee and his writing style. The more I read, the more I like his writing. He seems like a very down-to-earth person with a lot of knowledge on a lot of important issues. His writing is never boring, regardless of what he's talking about, because of the way he writes it.
I think this is an excellent attribute to have when writing environmental journalism. It is evident that people tend to stray away from anything to do with environmental issues because it's too depressing; or they are not educated, or some other reason. But with McPhee, he intrigues the reader, educates them and gets his point across without sounding scary, depressing or scientific.
