While some employees have been brought back following the pandemic, trends in the state's coalindustry point to trouble ahead for East Finley Township and Washington County in the absence ofconcerted efforts to diversify the economy and build community resilience. In the past month, the largestcoal-burning power plant operating in Pennsylvania announced that it will be shut down due to the lowprice of natural gas, higher prices for coal, unseasonably warm winters and environmental regulations,including the state's intention to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

Additionally, we treat the impact of ACC on fire as inde-pendent from the effects of fire management (e.g., suppressionand wildland fire use policies), ignitions, land cover (e.g., exur-ban development), and vegetation changes beyond the degree towhich they modulate the relationship between fuel aridity andforest fire area. These factors have likely added to the areaburned across the western US forests and potentially amplifiedthe sensitivity of wildfire activity to climate variability and changein recent decades

Results
Through this satelite imagery, they are able to see how the denisites of different biomasses changed. Because of the fires burning 6% of the state, authors are able to conclude that this loss of biomass (carbon) led to increase carbon emission.
century of government policies of complete fire suppression havedepressed fire frequencies below natural levels and caused sub-stantial accumulations of biomass and dead matter that can serveas fuel
Fire suppression fucks with the carbon loads by having dense trees and lots of fuel loads on the ground
Thesefindings support a management strategy of reducing fuel loads tominimize the future potential of catastrophic fires under climatechange. Although prescribed burning, managed wildland fire, andmechanical fuel reduction treatments across public and privatelands may release greenhouse gases in the short term, these prac-tices can augment carbon storage in the long term by shiftinggrowing space from many small trees to fewer large, old treesand also enhance resilience to stress and disturbance (Hurteauand Brooks, 2011; Collins et al., 2014; Hurteau et al., 2014) andpotential increases in wildfire frequency due to climate change(Moritz et al., 2012).

Present Divinity—
Like before, I feel like you don't need to incorporate the entire poem in the essay itself.
Temporality also plays a role within the poem
I like your original analysis! However, I think this can be its own paragraph.
The opening line reveals where Dickinson resided when she wrote this poem. If the birds arereporting from the south then the narrator lives in the north.
Personally I find placing the entire poem before going into your analysis to be kind of confusing. Specifically, because you go immediately to analyzing just the first part of the poem, I think you can place just the first stanza and analyze. Then, when you start to move through the poem and analyze different stanzas and lines, incorporate them before -- guiding the reader through the poem in pieces rather than showing it all at once. I think it would flow a little better.
In the same way war is composed of a variety of experiences, so are Dickinson’s poems.
I feel like this sentence can be revised for your topic sentence. It feels quite vague while you argue specific things in your paragraph.
Both politics and plants play a role in how Dickinson chooses to portraywar and the stance she intends to convey-no one poem is approached in the same manner.
Great claim
She coins the term Poetess and states
Because you don't bring up the term poetess later in the essay, I feel like it would be a better footnote item.
Some argue that Dickinson was not politically involved due to the perception of her beingan isolated individual
Nice clear organizational flow. I like how you both develop off the last paragraph but also begin to complicate it by showing other perspectives
It’s importantto acknowledge the abstract and generalized perspective that these definitions impose on the civilwar. Roudeau herself acknowledges how these two definitions conflict with one another

econd, although most research on climate justice understandably focuses on the needs and experiences of humans,in many ways an overly anthropocentric perspective about the supreme importance of humans above all other species(human exceptionalism) is one of the key reasons we are now facing a climate crisis.
This may be the most interesting point . . .
his includes access to informa-tion and meaningful participation in decision-making and the existence of legal procedures for achieving redress

This comes from Plato's symposium
, we could go so far as to entertain the very real possibility that "sexuality," as a term of implied relationship and desire, is dubiously ap- propriate, manageable, or accurate to any of the familial arrangements under a system of enslavement, from the master's family to the captive enclave. Under these arrangements, the customary lexis of sexuality, including "reproduction," "motherhood," "pleasure," and "desire" are thrown into unrelieved crisis

needed a break from the stress of the chaos that was her home and school life
I found this sentence particularly wordy. Can you think of how to cut down? Here's what I thought of:
"...she needed a break from the stress from her home and school life."
Both remote learning and face-to-face teaching have their own benefits, but remote learning is ultimately a better choice during the pandemic as it can prevent the spread of the pandemic more effectively, save costs, and have greater flexibility than returning to school
Great Thesis!
(Adrienne LaFrance
With MLA, you don't need to double cite authors. Since you give Adrienne credit earlier in the sentence, you don't need to give her credit again at the end.
Remote learning can reduce the risk of contracting the virus for students as it does not require close contact with each other
This is a good topic sentence!
Many people complain about the low efficiency of remote learning, lack of learning atmosphere, and more online homework
I would change this topic sentence to match the main point of this paragraph.
During the pandemic, remote learning is surely a better way to learn than face-to-face teaching.
I think you could use a better sentence here. This sentence sounds like you're saying that remote learning is a better teaching method than in person classes. This is not what your paper is arguing. You should state how remote learning is a smarter and healthier option considering the current situation.
Secondly
Secondly isn't a good transition word here since this isn't your second point. Replace with a word like "additionally"
They know that they, like the child, are not free.
Very existential, probably we are not free in terms of the human condition. To quote Sartre, "Mankind is condemned to be free," but this idea of "free" comes at the sake of determinism. This freedom is crushing, making a paradoxical idea of freedom.
it would not get much good of its freedom: a little vague pleasure of warmth and food, no doubt, but little more.
This is an arrogant statement since they are separating intellectual freedom from physical freedom. They're right, there's not much more intellectual freedom, but that's all they're concerned about since that's how their society is built. If we look at Maslow's Hierarchy directly, they have the luxury to contemplate abstract while the child can't.
terrible paradox
This is not so much paradoxical as it is a lack of objectivity for there are easy answers, you let the girl go or you don't. The paradox, is that there is no satisfactory answer, but that is the essence of life. There are no choices you make, but sacrifices.
