industries‚ and with these discoveries comes massive amounts of waste and destruction. Rachel Carson’s man point is‚ man is ignorantly trying tame the beast‚ but years from now it is not the first man who will reap the travesty of self destruction. Carson used a good number of supporting ways to boost her thesis and ideas‚ once of which is first simply pointing out what is wrong. She expresses her emotions and how it took ten years before her speech to realize her perspective. Then‚ she lays out that

He says‚ “[g]unmen tend to pick places that are gun-free zones” (Gutentag)‚ and proceeds to say that he would be more content sending his child to school if he knew that the teacher was trained with a weapon (Gutentag).

He begins the book as a duty-driven youth who is able to kill anyone or anything without a sense of remorse‚ likely because of his experiences with the harshness of life as a child. However‚ once he begins to have a family—a real family‚ one he raises and takes care of and looks after—he begins to shift. Carson begins to balk at some killings‚ even going so far as to decry the killing of indian warriors
