The scientist shields her eyes from the relentless sun with her black gloved hand. She gazes across the water of the gulf searching. At last she discovers what she had been looking for, a lone duck. Its wings flapping uselessly as it tries to fly away with out success. The duck is stuck in the vast water by the heavy dried crud oil that’s clumped all over its wings. The scientist directs her boat at the duck who is now violently trying to escape before the boat reaches it. The scientist picks up the duck, “We’ve got another one” she calls to the people behind her tiredly. The duck in my example is the victim of the gulf shore oil spill. The scientist represents the people who are working to save the animals who have fallen victim to the oil spill. This event in which the people are trying to save the oil covered animals is the gulf shore oil spill it occurred in 2010.As for the duck there are many other animals who have suffered the same fate. Not only animals are covered in oil, beaches and marshes are too. The gulf shore oil spill has greatly affected the surrounding area and will do so for many years to come people, animals, and multiple terrains are also in crisis.
