Recommended: The impact of deforestation

Deep in the tropical rainforest, Timmy the Tiger and Peter the Parrot were relaxing on a hot summer day. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping.

So many framers were cutting down trees that the animal’s habitats in the rainforest are in greater and greater jeopardy. The temperature in a rain forest rarely gets higher than 34 °C or drops below 20 °C.
“I want to cherish this lovely day,” said Timmy the tiger.
“Me too. Just keep an eye out for any farmers,” Peter the Parrot exclaimed.
Farmers are a large problem for the tropical rain forests in South America. When farmers need more land, they start to chop trees down in the rain forest to make more space for farming. Rainforests once covered more than 14 percent of the earth. Sadly, rainforests now cover about 6 percent of the earth, which leads to the destruction of various animals’ habitats.

    Towards the end of the novel, Peter has wakes up and “just as the first light of day was showing through the slit in the curtains over the window. The room was still dark, but he could tell that it was already beginning to get light outside… He looked around the room. The nurse had taken the roses out the night before. There was nothing except the table with a packet of cigarettes, a box of matches, and an ashtray. The room was bare. It was no longer warm or friendly. It was not even comfortable, just cold and empty, and very quiet” (205). Looking at the window 10 feet away Peter got on his hands and knees and crawled to a window pushing his face on the glass. “There were three words, and slowly he spelled the letters out loud to himself as he managed to read them.
