Story Review of The Sand Castle

The Sand Castle was written by Alma Luz Villanueva Alma Luz Villanueva (born October 4, 1944 in Lompoc, California) is an American poet, short story writer, and novelist. The short story Sand Castle is about a girl named Masha who once lived in a time where you could go outside without wearing a full coat. After global warming it made it so that you had to go outside wearing a full coat hoping not to get burned by the sun's radiation. The story is a scientific fiction, people can learn science at the same time with interesting stories .The main theme in this short story is how global warming affects an individual's life, how important is the ozone sphere, These troubles will cause great trouble to mankind.

Environmental pollution can cause global warming in order to destroy human civilization on earth. Environmental pollution can cause climate change such as Carbon dioxide being shot out of cars and factory chimneys, or cutting down forests. These troubles can cause global warming. If people don't make improvements in time and  factory chimneys, or cutting down forests. These troubles can cause global warming. If people don't make improvements in time, they will be destroyed by global warming one day. Recent years, The extreme weather is caused by global warming, which is already 1.09 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and 0.15 degrees Celsius per decade. A difference of as little as 0.5 degrees Celsius in global average temperature rise will have a significant impact on natural ecosystems and socio-economic systems. This example proves that global warming can affect the earth's natural environment. Therefore, the governments should pay attention to this problem as quickly as they can. Humans should also decrease emitting a lot of carbon dioxide which will cause environmental pollution. Human beings should work together to prevent global warming so as to have a better situation.

Human's destruction of the ozone layer will cause ultraviolet rays to hit the earth and bring disaster.Ozone layer is The ozone layer is the most important layer in the atmosphere and contributes most to mankind, but humans are breaking the ozone layer gradually. The consequence of destroying the ozone layer is that the ultraviolet rays of the sun will shine directly on the earth. It can damage cells in the body and even cause cancer. In 1985, the British Antarctic Survey observed a hole in the ozone layer at 60° south latitude, covering an area of 16.4 million square kilometers. The ozone layer is about three millimeters long, but these three millimeters become the most important shield of the earth, which poses a great danger to human beings. 16.4 million square kilometers is about the size of Russia. A hole in the ozone layer that large could melt Antarctic glaciers so fast that global water levels would rise so high that some islands would be submerged. Humans should cherish nature and any "shields" that protect us, not indirectly destroy them.

Keeping a positive attitude can help individual solve psychological troubles instead of being depressed. Keeping an optimistic and positive attitude can make people accept great setbacks instead of becoming depressed or even commit suicide, it can make people go through all kinds of tough situations and finally succeed. For example, Masha's family was still very relaxed and peaceful, living the same life as before, untouched by global warming. It's just a matter of protection. Masha and her family have even dared to build sandcastles under solar radiation that can cure human death This example shows that Masha's family has an optimistic attitude and a strong inner strength. If it were ordinary people, they might commit suicide because they could not accept the reality and could not stand the torture of solar radiation. But Masha's family is not afraid of the sun's radiation at all. Instead, they live happily. The power of having an optimistic attitude can make people have a strong inner strength, in order to To live beatifically in any situation.

In conclusion The sand castle explores The destruction of the natural ecology by human beings will cause the destruction of the ozone layer and bring disaster to human beings. Furthermore, human's pollution of the environment can cause global warming in order to destroy the earth. Additionally, the story highlighted the importance of keeping a positive and optimistic mental state that can make people live cheerfully instead of pessimistically. Climate change is a serious problem for all the people on earth, because if global warming becomes more severe, the whole 8 billions of people will suffer The pain of this disaster. Therefore, human beings should attach importance to this trouble, because this is about the development of the entire human civilization.
