Rachel Carson wrote the book‚ Silent Spring‚ to introduce the issues with pesticides. Carson’s main argument in the chapter‚ The Obligation to Endure‚ is that pesticides do not put an end to the insect problems. Pesticides are human’s invention to bring an end to pest issues. However‚ pesticides not only have limited success‚ but also worsen the situation. Pesticides kill the insects‚ but insects grow to be immune to the chemicals. Hence‚ scientists have to make stronger and more harmful pesticides

Summer Reading Description To be completely honest‚ this year was one of the first years that I actually did summer reading. I usually never do summer reading‚ the last time I probably did it was back in 6th grade and even then I had read a Judy B. Jones book a day before school even started.

When I finally started summer reading I decided I would do one

In the passage ¨Silent Spring¨ by biologist Rachel Carson she argues who has the right to kill these helpless innocent birds trying to get their food. Also who has the right to put workers or even children that walk through the fields lives at risk because of all the poison in it. She believes no one has the right to decide these sort of thing‚ especially because of ¨the countless legions of people who were not consulted¨ (Carson Lines 57-58).

like to stay up late‚ it is still when I do my best work. Even though I do not enjoy writing‚ however I like reading some books for example The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. Summer reading is one of the most painful things that high schoolers and middle schoolers are required to do over the summer. I will always dislike summer reading no matter what day it is. Twenty years from today I will still dislike all of those books I had to read over

It was so polarizing she effectively reinvented the environmental movement‚ and defined who was responsible (NYT nopage). Perhaps the largest contributor to the environmental problem is human

He comes upon a man who owns a presumed site‚ named Frank Calvert‚ who is modest and a quiet discoverer. Frank does not have enough money to fund excavation‚ so when Heinrich
