Lives of A Cell

In this article, Lewis Thomas argues and compares how the world is similar to a cell. I agree with his compassion. Lewis compares how in this big ball of a world that we live in (earth), things like trees supplies oxygen, bacterias to break things down, and water to generate life in order for earth to "live", all help to make the earth function. Just like a cell, which has many organelles like the smooth and rough ER, the lysosome, and many more important part that works together in order for the cell to function and live. Thomas informs his readers and gives them a tour of the cell using metaphor, analogy, and similes to relate it to the earth so the reader can have something interesting for them to connect with.
